Building Materials Production in Poland

In December 2007, the Polish ATLAS Group completed a plant for the production of natural gypsum for their customer, NOWA DOLINA NIDY, in Niwnice, Poland.

At a production capacity of 4,500 tonnes per month the plant is the biggest of its kind in the country. NOWA DOLINA NIDY brings the raw material with a maximum lump size of 300 millimetres from their own quarry mine to the plant. The process starts with a crusher from which the gypsum goes through a series of grinding mills and screens followed by a fully automatic production line. The latter is mainly formed by a drier and a number of conveyors that take the gypsum to the storage silos.

The finished product, which is either packed in bulk bags or filled into tankers or open trucks, is later used by the building industry for wall plastering and tile manufacturing, as well as medical or dental plaster.

WAM Polska was awarded an order from ATLAS for heavy-duty CAU Trough and TP Tubular Screw Conveyors, WAMECO® type Dust Collectors, as well as VL-type Slide Valves and VFS-type Butterfly Valves.

The project was not the first one in cooperation with ATLAS who, as market leader in building material processing plant engineering in Poland, acknowledge the superior quality of WAMGROUP® equipment.
