Quality raw material
REFRACTORY CLAY
With a high Al2O3 content and an iron content of less than 3%, the clays are destined for the ceramic and refractory industries, with Chamotte (Sintered Refractory Clay) as the main product. Class 60 Chamote has applications in the refractory industry, manufacturing of bricks, mortars, conventional and low-cement concretes, plugging compounds, ceramic rolls, crucibles and special parts.
Area of operation: Plateau of Poços de Caldas and Region of Guarda-Mor-MG.
BAUXITE
With variable contents of Al2O3 and SiO2, Bauxite serves mainly the cement and metallurgical sectors. Its main commercialization is in its in natura form. On a smaller scale, it can be sold calcined, sintered or activated for more specific applications in the industry.
Area of operation: Plateau of Poços de Caldas, Region of Manhuaçu, Caputira and Cataguases-MG, Region of Aiuruoca and Minduri-MG, Region of Niquelândia and Barro Alto-GO.
BRIQUETTES
Briquettes are made from bauxite mineral powder and are dense and compact blocks that add many benefits to the mineral, such as ease of handling and transport, constant feeding in the furnaces, aiding in the homogeneous burning of coal and reducing pollution rates.
PEAT
Composed mainly of organic matter, Peat has application in the agricultural sector as an organic fertilizer, helping to improve soil properties and increasing nutrient retention capacity. Due to the high concentration of organic material resulting from decomposition, it is flammable and can be used as fuel in heating and burning systems.
Area of operation: Region of Monte Carmelo and Iraí de Minas-MG and Region of Estrela do Sul and Araguari-MG.
CONSTRUCTION AGGREGATES
BRITA
The materials coming from the comminution of rocks, popularly known as Brita, are applied directly in civil engineering works, as an integral part of the concrete or even in the paving of roads.
Area of operation: Plateau of Poços de Caldas.
SAND
With great demand from the civil construction market, sand extracted from river beds or pits is one of the products used in the manufacture of premixed concrete, manufacture of precast concrete, asphalt concrete, mortar and even to compose road base/sub-base.
Region of operation: Region of Poços de Caldas and Botelhos-MG and Region of Formosa-GO
