£2 million state of the art mixing plant in just 3 months, after 3
years of planning ! The building frame required over 150 tonnes
of steel. Twenty three storage silos holding over 600 tonnes
of raw materials provide the capacity for a daily manufacturing
output of approx. 100 metric tonnes. A sophisticated software
system ensures highly accurate computer controlled batching of
ingredients for all products.
Co-founder and Operations Director James Ayres said “The
plant is designed for very precise weighing and mixing, for some
ingredients as accurate as 1 gram per tonne, which allows us to
make a product with greater consistency over time whilst also
improving efficiency in raw material and energy use. The bulk
storage is cleaner and safer, as materials are contained in sealed,
constantly monitored silos. This has also significantly reduced the
amount of HGV traffic on and off the site, and eliminated a large
amount of packaging waste.
The plant has a wide range of ingredients available on demand
from the silos, everything from very traditional roman cement
and limes through to modern low-carbon binders. This allows us
to switch between products with ease to meet short lead times, a
real concern for many contractors in the industry.”
