The cement manufacturing and concrete industry use fly ash in its production process as it improves the quality of the concrete in structure and by it being able to lessen the volume of high carbon footprint elements in concrete.

The VIS machine has always performed well in a like for like basis in processing fly ash. In addition, we have achieved solid drying results with our own plant and the baghouse and ducting set up that we have used.  Based on the findings of our work in recycled glass, we are also now going into detailed study of the effects that our machine has on ash particles and how it improves reactivity. We have constantly had ash processed by our machine perform better in bonding tests compared to the same ash that had been traditionally milled.

We will provide more news on this as these tests and results are fully verified.

We have partnered with Ash-TEK, a USA based sustainable materials solutions company, to have our technology used within their groundbreaking and proprietary ponded ash rehabilitation process. Their plant solution takes pond ash, dries it and screens it from waste material and then mills and cleans it of all heavy metals and contaminants. Ash-TEK have done years of trialling and testing with North American cementitious companies and the first commercial launch of their plant is happening right now at the TransAlta Sundance site in Alberta, Canada. We have our machines being installed there and we will provide details of that launch as soon as that happens.
