The construction chemicals industry focuses on the production of powder mixtures based on cement or gypsum, combined with mineral fillers and modifying additives (pigments, polymers, retention agents).
The processes are recipe-based, with high variability in formulations and strict batch-to-batch repeatability requirements. Both short production runs and continuous production occur. Key considerations include dust-free material handling, ATEX requirements (combustible dusts), control of particle segregation, and abrasion resistance of transport elements. Typical plant throughput ranges from a few to several dozen tons per hour (depending on formulations, mixer type, and level of automation).
Key Specifications
Process Chain
- raw material conditioning (often drying and/or sand classification)
- dosing of macro- and micro-components
- mixing with optional liquid spraying
- packaging (25 kg bags / Big-Bag / bulk)
- dedusting and system hermetization
- batch recording, raw material traceability, integration with higher-level systems (HMI/SCADA/MES/ERP) (rapid line reconfiguration and easy cleaning are required when changing product types)
Typical Line Components
- drum dryers for sand
- silos with unloading and aeration systems
- mechanical transport (belt, bucket elevator, screw conveyor, drag conveyor)
- pneumatic conveying
- weighing and dosing systems (macro/micro)
- mixers (batch or continuous)
- Big-Bag stations and 25 kg bagging units
- control systems with visualization
- local and central dedusting installations
Scope of Implementation
From the reception of aggregates and binders, through additive dosing, mixing, and packaging, to dedusting and control systems (process design, equipment supply, installation, commissioning, documentation).
Equipment Useful in the Production of Construction Chemicals
Mechanical conveyors
for internal transport processes in manufacturing and logistics companies.
Chamber feeders
as power supply elements in high-pressure pneumatic transport systems.
Industrial filters
for thorough purification of gases from dust and fine solid particles.
Ball mills
for grinding loose materials, using ball mills.
Industrial dryers
for effective drying of loose, dusty, fine-grained materials with varying granulation.
Industrial Mixers for Bulk and Liquid Materials
for effective mixing of loose materials, powders, granules, and combining them with liquids.
