Processing plant Hermsdorf

Processing plant of the marble mine Hermsdorf

The processing plant produces calcium carbonate fillers with diverse grain sizes for a variety of uses in the construction industry, construction chemistry, and paint and varnish industry. The filler trademark is Saxolith®. Additionally, GEOMIN produces marble and other local rock gravel. It is distributed as Saxorund.

The calcitic fillers of Hermsdorf are characterized by high fineness and a high degree of whiteness. For achieving these properties GEOMIN developed a new, procedurally adapted processing technology.

The marble is crushed, dried and subsequently sorted by an automated optical control. The high fineness of the final product is realized by two one-compartment ball mills. Windsifter plants and magnetic separators further contribute to a high-quality product.
