The Future with Manufactured Sand (M-Sand)

ALOK Cyclowash3 (1)

Manufactured sand (M-Sand) is a sustainable alternative to natural sand, produced by crushing rock or processing by-products from dry crushing operations. At Taurian MPS, our advanced washing solutions transform these materials into high-quality, in-spec sand for various applications, ensuring superior performance in construction, concrete production, and infrastructure projects.

The Growing Demand for M-Sand

Sand is the third most consumed natural resource after air and water. With rapid urbanization and infrastructure development, the demand for sand has surged, leading to a global shortage of natural river sand. Manufactured sand presents a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative, reducing dependency on depleting riverbeds while maintaining high-quality standards for concrete and construction applications.

Optimized M-Sand for High-Performance Concrete

Taurian’s washing and beneficiation technology ensures that manufactured sand meets stringent concrete specifications, making it a reliable alternative where natural sand is scarce or costly.

Using unwashed crusher dust or VSI fines in concrete production leads to:
  • Higher cement and admixture consumption, increasing costs.
  • Poor workability and strengthin concrete.
  • Inconsistent grading and quality, affecting final product performance.
  • More cost-effective– requires less cement, water, and admixtures.
  • Stronger and more workablethan unwashed crusher fines.
  • Consistently in-spec to meet concrete and construction standards.
  • Efficient removal of ultra-fines(below 63 microns / 200 mesh) to optimize sand quality.
  • Grading correctionto ensure compliance with construction specifications.
  • Effective clay removal through advanced attrition technology, enhancing final sand performance
