Process flow
Six controlled stages
Each stage has defined parameters and a recorded check before material moves forward.
01 02 Drying
Material is dried to reduce moisture ahead of milling, classification and packing.
03 Milling & classification
Size reduction and classification bring material to the fineness or grain band required for the grade.
04 Purification
Separation steps remove unwanted fractions before the material moves to blending.
05 Blending
Batches are blended to hold the material within the range agreed with the customer.
06 Release & packing
Material is checked before release, then packed in the format agreed for the destination and route.
In-house capability
Process capabilities across both sites
The same process capabilities are held at both manufacturing sites, so a grade can be produced against a single quality standard.
- Drying & dehydration
- Air classification
- Precision milling
- Magnetic separation
- Blending & homogenization
- Packing & bulk handling
Release
Checked before packing, documented before dispatch
Material is verified against the requirement agreed with the customer before it is packed. Certificates of analysis, safety data sheets and packaging specifications are issued on request.
Packaging format is selected with the customer for the destination market and transit route. Where a grade needs adjusting for a specific process, trial quantities are agreed before commercial supply begins.
