The level of investment is fully justified by the high-quality performances that the mixer guarantees in terms of repetitiveness of homogeneous colour concrete for the face mix. Long-term ambitions: Together to ZeroJohan Deburchgrave emphasizes, %u201cThis plant is a fully operational production facility and fits seamlessly with our other production units. It is not just a pilot project, but an essential and serious step in our commitment to sustainable production and CO2 reduction.%u201d Looking to the future, Vandersanden's ambition is to realise multiple Pirrouet factories as such an expansion will contribute to a broader impact and further strengthen their sustainability goals.Eng. Luca Cellni Falchetti, Sales Manager of MCT Italy, pointed out: %u201cThe most energy-intensive aspect of producing facing bricks is no longer necessary with Pirrouet. Instead of being fired in a gas oven, they are hardened in a CO2 chamber. To fill this chamber, Vandersanden uses CO2 released during the combustion of fossil fuels in industries with intensive energy consumption. As a result, a waste product becomes a raw material again and less CO2 is released into the atmosphere.Indoor batch plantRedundant powder delivery
