Processing Capabilities

The company's continuing success is dependent on our ability to process materials, often at short notice, to customer's requirements. The equipment we operate is able to process to a wide range of particle sizes from coarse lump, through sieved granular sizes to coarse and fine powders via the following means :-

  • 5 x Rotex Locker Screens (with hammer mills for oversize reduction)
  • 3 x Air Swept Ball Mills
  • 3 x Rotary Kiln Driers
  • 1 x No.6 Stag Mill
  • 3 x Rotary Hammer Mills
  • 3 x Jaw Crushers
  • 1 x Bagging Unit

All processing is carefully monitored by regular, in house testing to guarantee conformance to agreed specifications. Process control and QC records are maintained by a networked computer database giving excellent product traceability. Where necessary conformance to chemical specification is guaranteed by third party analysis at a N.A.M.A.S. Laboratory. We produce certificates of conformity for all dispatches where requested.

A full size weighbridge is operated on site, with computerized records kept of all receipts and dispatches.

In order to accommodate raw and part processed materials the company maintains extensive storage facilities, for loose materials, with both covered and uncovered tipping bays. We also possess adequate warehousing for bagged raw materials and processed products.

Fine Grinding are able to accept materials loose in bulk tippers, tankers and packed in bulk bags, drums or sacks. By the same token we are able to pack materials in the same way as well as dispatch into tanker's and containers via our loading ramp.

Fine Grinding dispatch to Europe and mainland UK on a daily basis.

Enviroment


Fine Grinding is located within the Peak District National Park. There are several sites of special scientific interest located close to the works.

Two footpaths that ran through the plant have been re-directed, under the National Park Authority's supervision, around the site perimeter in order to avoid works traffic. This has made the footpaths more enjoyable to use.

 

As much of the company's business is based on processing life expired materials Fine Grinding have a particularly strong position from an environmental point of view.


Considerable investment has been made in dust collection equipment in recent years in order to meet, and where possible surpass, stringent new environmental protection legislation and are tested on an annual basis.


Many tonnes of used or rejected refractory bricks pass through our works each year, and after treatment these materials are suitable for the manufacture of new bricks. Fine Grinding are aware of the significance this work has on the environment.
