Lightweight aggregates – a new thermally bound lightweight aggregate of high resource efficiency

In the Eifel region, pumice has been a “constant” in the production of lightweight concrete blocks for many decades. More recently, however, there has been a significant decline in production...

Introduction Infra-lightweight concrete exhibits an extremely low dry bulk density of up to 800 kg/m³ while also providing sufficient strength, resulting in low thermal and acoustic conductivity....

The ongoing discussion on closed-loop recycling is increasingly focusing on the construction industry which uses significant amounts of mineral resources and counts among the large waste producers. In...

Self-compacting concrete can be processed purely under the impact of gravity and without any vibration, even in densely reinforced false work or complex geometries.  For this purpose, the concrete...

In the region, Rotec operates open-pit quarries to extract the naturally expanded silicate rock. The company is a member of the Bisotherm sales organization. It uses special processing, separation and...
