If mineral particles of larger dimension are present in the reduced fluid material, they are crushed to filler particles of maximum dimension less than about 600 microns by passing the reduced fluid material between oppositely rotated, heated crush rolls. The novel reclaimed waste includes at least the asphalt and the pulverized fiber, may include mineral filler of maximum particle size less than 600 microns, some or all of which may be crushed mineral granules of larger maximum dimension contained in the waste material.Other References
