Clyde Gypsum Overview - Clyde Process Limited - #2

pressure tight seal is created when the valve is in the closed position, but in the open position, it provides an unrestricted full bore opening for the best product flow possible.

Clyde has developed pneumatic conveying solutions that have the ability to:

• Convey mined gypsum and stucco used in the production of wallboard and plaster

• Convey vermiculite and perlite, materials used as a 'filler' in the manufacture of both wallboard and plaster

• Efficiently convey scrap material, such as edge trim, which is re-introduced into the wallboard manufacturing process

• Transport various raw materials to a mixing tower - the materials are dosed and blended in the tower to create gypsum products

• Reliably convey synthetic gypsum (DSG) used in the production of wallboard and plaster

• Convey glass reinforced gypsum used in the manufacture of specialist wallboard capable of combating dampness

• Transport electrostatic precipitator dust and filter dust from process exhaust systems back into process or, alternatively, send this material for disposal

These solutions absorb a minimal amount of power, cause low wear on system components and pipelines, therefore, reducing maintenance costs and increasing system availability, reliability and production.

By placing the customer at the heart of their business, Clyde Materials Handling has developed a global, extensive and diverse set of references, who have become lifetime customers. They continually seek Clyde's guidance in areas of process improvement and material handling.
