Process > 1. Extraction and stone preparation

 

Extraction, crushing, washing, screening, grinding stones

 

 

Every day, we extract by blasting in our 5 plants a few thousands tons of limestone (calcium carbonate = CaCO3).

Loaders and shovels collect the rocks which are then transported and unloaded in crushers, carefully washed, screened and selected according to their intended use:

- high quality limestone to be commercialised in different sizes from pebble to powder for a variety of different applications

- high quality limestone for the production of quicklime, hydrated lime or milk-of-lime

- lesser pure limestone for the aggregates market
