Limestone Lumps
Quarried raw calcium carbonate lumps (\(CaCO_3\)) supplied for quicklime burning kilns, cement clinker manufacturing, paper pulping, and metallurgical smelting fluxes.

Product Overview
Limestone lumps are natural sedimentary rock blocks extracted from regional quarry formations in Rajasthan. After extraction, lumps are sized by primary crushers and grizzly screens to maintain target boulder sizes.
For lime burning kilns, uniform lump sizing ensures even gas permeability and thorough calcination through the core of the stone, avoiding unburnt core centers or overburnt slagging.

Typical Industrial Applications
- Quicklime Burning Kilns: Raw feed for shaft and rotary kilns producing high-calcium quicklime (\(CaO\)) and hydrated lime.
- Steel & Iron Smelting: Basic slag-forming flux charged into blast furnaces to capture silica and alumina impurities.
- Cement Manufacturing: Primary raw meal component mixed with clay and iron ore for clinker burning. (Learn more)
- Paper & Chemical Plants: Causticizing feed in pulp mills and chemical production circuits.
- Crushing & Grinding Feedstock: Bulk stone supply for independent pulverized mineral grinding plants.
Bulk Logistics & Direct Haulage
Handled via mechanical excavators and dump trucks. Dispatched in high-tonnage multi-axle tippers or covered trailers directly to processing kilns and plants across Gujarat, Rajasthan, and adjacent industrial corridors.
