Production — Stalite
Expanded slate aggregate is produced by the rotary kiln method. This discussion describes one specific lightweight aggregate manufacturing plant. Other rotary kiln process facilities are similar, but may have variations from the process described herein. The rotary kiln is a long tube that rotates on large bearings.
Flyash Lightweight Aggregate Making Plant
Flyash Lightweight Aggregate Making Plant. Brickwell introduces a newly-invented process that converts waste fly ash into lightweight aggregate, a product which can be used to replace the mined stone in concrete, due to stricter controls of Environmental problems as well as other uses. Brickwell's process uses approximately 95% of fly ash.
How Stalite Lightweight Aggregate found the right wash plant
Most lightweight aggregate is made by heating shale or clay. Stalite's product starts with slate, a hard, metamorphic rock, resulting in stronger product with a 6 percent absorption value after a 24-hour soak. Compare that to the 15 to 30 percent absorption values of lightweight aggregate derived from shale and clay.
