The last characteristic is very important, and many buyers of products of the mountain processing plants first of all are interested in it. What is unsurprising: this stone is widely used in construction and road works.
2. After crushing, crushed stone is sifted with the purpose to separate it into fractions. Stones of 5-20 mm in size carry to small.
