Enhancing sustainability and productivity with SCMs
Low-clinker cement production with SCM
At Fives, we are committed to driving the cement industry toward a more sustainable and efficient future. Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCM) such as coal ash, ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS), pozzolan, calcined clays or also rich cement paste fines from concrete recycling play a pivotal role in reducing the carbon footprint of cement production. Our advanced technologies and tailor-made solutions are designed to optimize the use of SCM.
Reduce your CO2 emissions and turn your SCM into a high value-added resource
SCM are industrial by-products, recycling products or naturally occurring materials which, when used in conjunction with clinker or Portland cement, enhance the sustainability and, depending on the application, even the performance of cement or concrete.
Fives helps you convert coal ash, slag, pozzolan, and calcined clay into high-performance, low-carbon cement additives. With advanced processing technologies, proprietary equipment, and integrated project expertise, Fives is a global leader in SCM processing for the cement industry.
Key benefits of Fives' solutions
