SPECIAL LIGHTWEIGHT PRODUCT ROUTES

Choose EPS or project-specific lightweight aggregate processing

EPS and ceramsite products require different raw-material checks, mixing routes and downstream equipment. Choose the product route before planning capacity and equipment.

RAW MATERIAL OPTIONS

Use Locally Available Raw Materials Where the Process Allows

EPS and ceramsite are separate lightweight-product routes. Their raw materials and process controls must be reviewed independently rather than combined into one generic formula.

Start with representative samples

Review locally available materials against the target product before production equipment is selected.

Recycled or variable inputs require source-specific testing and trial production.

Adjust the process after testing

Test results guide material ratios, dosing, mixing, forming, curing and finishing requirements.

Final formulation and equipment follow the actual materials and required product.
