| At C-E Minerals in Andersonville, GA, clay is first dried and ground to homogenize the ore for product conformity and consistency. This homogenized powder is delivered to a pug mill/extruder, where it is mixed with water, extruded under a vacuum, through dies to form dense noodle shaped pellets. The pellets are dried and then conveyed to storage bins for later calcining in a rotary kiln. | |
