New Construction Project at SCHAEFER KALK Quarry

This technical report outlines the expansion project at the SCHAEFER KALK quarry in Hahnstätten, which involves the construction of a new packing complex for precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC). The project aims to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of the packing process while maintaining ongoing production. The report details the collaboration between SCHAEFER KALK and HAVER & BOECKER, highlighting the innovative packing technology that will be implemented. The construction is set to take place in a confined space, necessitating careful planning and coordination to ensure safety and operational continuity. The report describes the challenges associated with packing PCC, a product with variable properties, and the solutions being developed to address these issues. The completion of the project is scheduled for fall 2024, following extensive planning and preparation. The report emphasizes the importance of teamwork and communication among the involved parties to achieve the project's objectives.
