Meba Bodenverwertung GmbH, as a subsidiary company of the Mendiger Basalt Group, has been engaged in the acceptance and processing of soils and construction waste materials for many years. They operate several technical structures where several hundred thousand tons of non-load-bearing soils need to be placed.

As part of a large-scale research project, powdered secondary binders from the industry and their usability for soil stabilization were investigated. The results of cementitious residual dusts mixed with the trass material from the Mendiger Basalt's own quarries were groundbreaking.

To ensure a reliable supply to their own structures and other civil engineering projects, Meba Bodenverwertung GmbH acquired a powder mixing plant from ELKON. This decision was based on their excellent experience with a 60 cubic meter per hour ready-mix concrete plant. ELKON was once again approached to design such a special powder mixing plant.

In the first stage, the three existing silos of the ready-mix concrete plant, with capacities of 500 tons for by-pass dust, 75 tons for cement, and 75 tons for trass cement, were connected to a collecting tank. Additionally, a 300-ton silo for trass flour was purchased and connected accordingly.
