Linwood's
Lime Plant is a full time operation, operating 24 hours a day
for 365 days a year. The Plant features four kilns, two of which
are fully automated. All processing is carefully monitored in
computerized control rooms.
The
Lime Plant uses limestone from Linwood's underground mine to ensure
that production begins with high quality materials. In addition,
the lime plant produces both high calcium and dolomitic lime and
provides both varieties in pebble and granular form.
Once
limestone has been calcinated in the kilns it is sent to our screening
tower where it is sized to specification. The lime is then placed
in storage bins where it awaits transportation or bagging.
New
technology also exists in the Linwood bagging facility. Lime products
are carefully measured via a computerized system of weigh belts
and volumetric meters that provides both accuracy and uniformity
in the bagging process. This system also makes product blending
and custom bag sizing significantly easier and more efficient.
Linwood
also makes calcium carbonate at its two grinding and sizing mills.
