ALPHAPLATRE Our scope of activity

Gypsum

Gypsum is an essential raw material for the development of all plaster based products. It is generally a matt white finely crystalline rock. Its purity and homogeneity play a vital role in the quality of plaster based products.

Alphaplatre offers industrial solutions for handling and storing gypsum, thus enabling its homogenisation. This intermediate step is essential to obtain a more regular and constant gypsum. Generally a buffer stock of 5 to 15 days is created and reclaimed later. In order to guarantee the quality of this operation Alphaplatre offers 2 solutions, detailed below:

Stacker:

Stackers are directly connected to the belt conveyors ensuring the gypsum supply. The stackers can be mobile and installed on rails or wheels. They perform a precise storage enabling the homogenisation of gypsum. This equipment can adjust its height to reduce the risk of falling product.

Tripper:

Directly integrated to the structure of the storage warehouse, the tripper is mobile all along the building. The assembly is fixed to a conveyor belt which ensures the gypsum supply. The gypsum is then distributed on each side of the conveyor for storage. The movements of the tripper are automated and ensure a perfect homogenisation of the product.
