LIMEX

For centuries already the world of construction has known a material burned from limestone-lime. It has been more than a hundred years since lime has been burned in the major Estonian island-Saaremaa (Ösel). Limex Ltd., a private capital based limited company, which was established in 1994, renovated an old limekiln and started to burn lime there using a cenutires-old technology, which has practically not changed and ensured the production of quality lime for more than 50 years. The peculiarity of the technology and a guarantee of high quality is manual work, which begins from the selecting of limestone to be burned and ends with the sorting of the finished produce into different quality grades. Only well-dried wood is used for burning, which does not produce additives lowering the quality. The planned annual is up to 500 MT of high-quality lime in the form of paste (or putty, approx. 50% water), which is preserved in underground storage pits, where the lime also ripes further...
