Calcination Facilities

Our patented flash calcination plant produces metakaolin of the highest possible reactivity and purity.

KG – Flash Calcination Facilities – pilot plant :

Kaolin Group's patented flash calcination method was developed over the past 10 years specifically with the highest possible level of metakaolin reactivity in mind. The pilot plant is mainly used for R&D purposes and therefore we are able to always test and improve our processes.

• Our pre-drying, micronising and flash-calcination cluster set-up produces
  highly reactive metakaolin in one process.
• Our flash-calcination method  results in the highest reactivity of metakaolin, due to the increase of reactive surface area over conventional rotary kiln calcination.

Kaolin Group has recently completed its first fully automated commercial plant adjacent to our pilot plant in Atlantis. This plant has a manufacturing capacity of up to 7000 tons of LC2 per month and includes :

• Pre-drying, dry-separation, calcination and cooling of the Metakaolin
• High-capacity batch mixer for various product blends
• Bulk - and semi-automatic bagging stations for 25 and 50kg bags
• Bucket elevators & conveyors to finished goods silos for Metakaolin & LC2
• Weighbridge
