A leading provider of architectural coatings, Rockcote experienced high demand for their pre-mixed render product, necessitating the construction of a new manufacturing facility capable of producing around 40,000 tonnes of product per year.
Rockcote place high importance on environmentally friendly practices; thus the solution turn-key designed by Brolton Group focussed on energy and resource efficiency. The production process is designed around a gravity feed system, and combined with energy efficient machinery significantly reduces the plant’s energy requirements.
A fluid bed drying and cooling system installed in the plant dries the sand with minimal dust generation. The sand is fed into the dryer utilising gravity fed pneumatic operations, exiting the cooling system and stored for batching. The fluid bed dryer provides Rockcote savings of more than 20% over rotary drum dryers.
The plant has capacity of 24,000 tonnes per hour, with 1200 bags of pre-mixed render bagged and palletised per hour.
