GRINDING PROCESS : FROM PASSION TO EXPERTISE

Grinding became a passion to us 50 years ago. On this foundation we built, not only the Group’s expertise but also Slegten’s expertise, the Engineering Company of the Group which is also a key player in terms of process recommendations.

MAXIMIZING THE QUANTITY AND/OR QUALITY OF A MATERIAL WHILE MINIMIZING THE ENERGY REQUIRED TO GRIND IT, IS A CHALLENGE OUR ENGINEERS WILL BE TAKING UP WITH YOU.

To do so, they will rely on the results of tests being carried out : . in laboratory (Slegten hardness test, chemical or mineralogy tests…), . in our pilot grinding plants or in our batch mill grinding stations, . on site, in partnership with you.

INNOVATION FIRST

AS A PIONEER, MAGOTTEAUX GOES ON INVESTING IN THE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF NEW GRINDING MEDIA.

In our laboratory and our pilot foundry, we test new techniques and new foundry processes, and develop new products such as the KERAMAX® MT�™, an innovative composite solution valued by our customers active in the field of ultra-fine grinding.

AT THE SAME TIME, MAGOTTEAUX KEEPS ADAPTING EXISTING SOLUTIONS SO THAT THESE FULFIL YOUR MOST DEMANDING REQUIREMENTS.
