- The Burghausen plant now uses the microsuspension process.
- Investments include new reactors, a nine-story dryer building, and expanded control room.
- New silos, a bagging plant, and a palletizing system were added.
- A recycling system for cooling water was implemented.
Microsuspension Process Implementation
The Burghausen plant has adopted the microsuspension process, previously successful at the Hillhouse site. This technology allows for flexible, tailor-made processing properties, essential for manufacturing floor coverings, wallpapers, and technical coatings.
Facility Investments
Significant investments were made to expand the plant's facilities. New reactors were installed, and a nine-story building was constructed for the new dryer. The control room was also expanded and modernized to enhance operational efficiency.
Storage and Packaging Enhancements
Several new silos were added to increase storage capacity. Additionally, a new bagging plant and palletizing system were built to streamline the packaging process.
Environmental Improvements
A new recycling system for cooling water was implemented to meet high safety and environmental standards. This system aims to operate production facilities as energy-efficiently and resource-sparingly as possible, ensuring continuous improvement in environmental performance.
