MANUFACTURING

Production

Utilising either heavy-duty ball or roller industrial mills, BGC converts high-grade raw materials (local and imported) into various cement and slag products for use throughout the construction and mining industries.

Our Naval Base facility has storage capacity for over 400,000 tonnes of raw material and over 60,000 tonnes of premium finished product.

BGC Cement prides itself on facilitating numerous quality control measures throughout the production process. This begins with sourcing the finest raw materials, to employing highly skilled and dedicated milling staff. Our processes are fully backed by a NATA accredited laboratory that oversees our ISO9001 accredited quality management system.

BGC also runs a lime hydration plant. This produces quality lime suitable as a stand-alone hydrated lime product. It is available in 20kg sacks, or to blend with cements for products such as Lime ‘n’ Lite or Lime ‘n’ Grey in sacks or bulker bags.

Paper sacks

BGC Cement offers a large range of packaged cements, cement and lime blends, hydrated lime and drymix products under its BUILDERS CHOICE brand name.

Bagged using a state-of-the-art German engineered and manufactured Haver roto-packer filling machine, we bag over 6,000 sacks per day.

Once filled at the roto-packer, the sacks are conveyed to an automatic palletiser. They head through the automatic stretch hood unit, which places a heavy-duty plastic hood over the pallet.
The plastic hood then reduces in size and tightens, firmly holding the products in place and providing protection from the weather.

Packaged goods are available for collection from our Naval Base facility.

Bulker bags

BGC Cement have a bulker bag production line that can handle large or small volumes, and varieties such as GP, Ultra Creme, Lime ‘n’ Grey, Low Heat, etc. These are available for collection from our Naval Base facility or delivery. Also known as flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBCs), we produce bulker bags into standard sizes.
