The production of a consistent cement quality is key in manufacturing a high-quality concrete. At Adelaide Brighton Cement’s Birkenhead works, Australia, quality control starts at the raw material stage. To analyse and control the raw mix, the cement producer has installed a Geoscan raw mix control system.
Adelaide Brighton Cement Ltd (ABC) is a leading Australian construction materials company with operations in all mainland states and territories of Australia.
