HYPERCON high-performance materials for HPC and UHPC applications

In order to be able to produce high-quality concrete from waste materials such as filler and filter dust, grain size, grain size distribution and grain shape have to be optimised using suitable grinding aggregates. Due to the high variability of the HYPERCON technology, it is possible to shred hard, brittle and soft materials and combine them in a controlled manner.

HYPERCON solutions are based on adapting the source material to the requirements of the end product, resulting in special formulations for the use of waste and difficult-to-market materials, even in combination with secondary raw materials from concrete or brick.

HYPERCON ELEMENTS – processed quartz sand from Italy

To maximise the activity of the source materials, they are crushed to particle sizes well below 20 μm. The reactivity and tendency of the aggregates to form mutual bonds at the molecular level increases with increasing specific surface area, which allows formulations for products with better and new properties. HYPERCON technology includes analysis of the source material, the preparation of which results in the high-performance raw materials.

To achieve the desired product properties and ensure reproducible processability, the processing module is tailored to match HYPERCON technology, with the aim of producing a homogeneous mass with a consistent chemical and mineralogical composition.

In cooperation with the operators of quarries, mines and sand and gravel pits, HYPERCON is expanding their product portfolios on the basis of locally produced residual materials.

The multifaceted range of raw materials guarantees manufacturers a tailor-made solution for a wide range of concrete applications to suit their individual requirements based on finely processed materials, more efficient formulations and optimised mixing and production technologies.
