High clinker substitution rates and worldwide abundance make calcined clays the next generation of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). The key to exploit their potential lies in careful process design and the selection of equipment suitable for both greenfield plants and kiln retrofit projects. With their C/CLAY toolkit, Loesche and Dynamis take a technology-independent approach that offers solutions for kiln and flash calcination and includes process upgrades to maximise the capacity of existing lines.

🎉 It's #AssociateMemberMonday! PCA Associate Member alcemy is hosting a webinar July 22 at 8 CDT on one of the key considerations for decarbonizing the cement and concrete industry – the clinker factor. Many manufacturers have already launched new clinker-efficient cements, such as German producer Spenner. Spenner recently received national technical approval for a new portland-limestone slag cement (project title: CEM X) that offers clinker content of only 30%, alongside 33% blast furnace slag, and a substantial 37% limestone filler. The webinar will take an in-depth look at numerous questions relating to clinker efficiency: How did the approval process work, and what were the necessary steps in Germany? Why did Spenner decide to develop a CEM X? What can we learn about the production of concretes with w/c-ratios around 0.40?

A technical description of the HASLE D59A product and its performance. HASLE D59A is a dense, low-cement castable composed of premium high-alumina raw materials, such as andalusite and mullitized bauxitic clay. It offers high mechanical strength, good thermal shock resistance, and abrasion resistance, making it a reliable choice for high-wear areas like clinker coolers. As we all know, PREVENTION MAINTENANCE IS BETTER THAN UNPLANNED SHUTDOWNS. Especially in Production Industries, TIME IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR TO ACHIEVE TARGET SALES. Any loss of time directly affects production and in turn, affects sales and financial performance. #HASLED59A #industrialengineering #timemanagement #cementindustries

AptiCem HydroStop is a reactive liquid emulsion admixture, designed to impart a high degree of water repellence in concrete mixes, significantly reducing water absorbency.     Occurrence of efflorescence is significantly reduced when using  AptiCem HydroStop as an integral water repellent.    Request a sample here: https://lnkd.in/eMqaA2Ah     #Products #ChemicalManufacturing #Cement #SpecialityChemicals #Construction #Concrete 

Type 1L cement is showing up on more and more concrete projects. Our lab has been busy developing products specifically for this growing market segment, because Type 1L cement reacts differently to silicate hardeners. Read more about our approach to purpose built products for this emerging trend.

Minimal Surface Preparation is required for applying visco-elastic Polyisobutene. When applying visco-elastic polyisobutene to a substrate, minimal surface preparation or ST2 cleanliness is required. This means the surface must be free of dirt, grease, and scale but not necessarily of all rust. This level of cleanliness ensures optimal adhesion and performance of the polyisobutene. Remember, a clean surface is the foundation of a successful application! #surfacepreparation #sciencefacts #ProtectionUnleashed #innovationattide #polyisobutene #corrosionprevention #corrosionprotection #allterafrica #viscoelastic #offshore #steel #steelstructure #oilandgas #water #Pipelines #sealant #Allter #coatings #environmentallyfriendly

All ways the innovation is so important

Kicking off #MAMonday with a case study that noted a 73% reduction in vibration levels. 📈 https://lnkd.in/eBswn7KJ Buzzi Unicem USA, a leading cement manufacturer, faced foundation concerns with a raw mill at their Festus, Missouri, site and contacted RDI Technologies. After taking Motion Amplification® footage and reviewing the data, RDI Service Advisors recommended securing all hold-down bolts on all pedestals and scheduling Motion Amplification follow-up recordings after the scheduled foundation repairs were performed for commissioning and baselining purposes. This is the before and after footage. #RDITechnologies #MotionAmplification #BuzziUnicem #CaseStudy #cementindustry #buildingprogress #cementplant #buildingabetterfuture

From clay to cement: C/CLAY GreenKey Solution for SCM Optimization. Operational flexibility is key to managing the complexities of cement production. C/CLAY, part of our GreenKey Solutions, transforms raw clays into robust supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) by employing adaptable technologies such as flash calciners and rotary kilns. These systems are designed to manage varying raw material qualities and process dynamics to ensure optimal SCM activity. The ability to fine-tune process parameters allows for adjustment of reactivity and fineness, which are both important in achieving desired performance characteristics in the final cement product. With a proven portfolio of technologies, each system, carefully designed and engineered, addresses the diverse properties of kaolinitic clays and improves their potential as SCM with precision and efficiency. The versatility of these technologies allows for custom integration to meet the unique needs of each production facility. Whether reviving old kiln lines through strategic modernization or optimizing SCM properties through finish grinding, the solutions go beyond simple adaptation. The combination of calcined clay and limestone in the LC3 mix highlights this potential, where a strategic mix can reduce CO2 emissions by up to 40% and energy consumption by up to 35% compared to conventional cement. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dcMeidhV Dynamis #greenkey #solutions #cclay #calcinedclay #scm #sustainablecement #dynamis #cementindustry
