In 1990, KÜMAŞ completed the installation of its brick and mortar production facilities to become an integrated corporation and KÜMAŞ started to produce basic refractory materials from magnesite.

KÜMAŞ became a member of Zeytinoglu Holding in 1995 as a within the framework of privatization process.

Meeting the needs for furnace materials of iron-steel, cement, non-ferrous metals and glass industries in Turkey and abroad, KÜMAŞ represents the largest sinter magnesite and dolomite production capacity today in Middle East, with a total production capacity of 180 000 tons/year.

RAW MATERIAL

The raw material mines of KÜMAŞ are located within the triangle formed by the Provinces of Eskişehir, Bilecik and Kütahya, which have an estimated total reserve of 65 million tons of magnesite ore and dolomite ore .

The crude magnesite ore is transported to the factory by trucks after it is enriched in the ore enrichment plants at the mining area.

Crushing, sieving and separating by means of permanent magnetic separators accomplish the enrichment of crude magnesite ore.

DEAD BURNT MAGNESITE After the enrichment in the raw

material mines, the raw magnesite is transfered to the dead burnt magnesite plant .

Then it is reprocessed in the ore enrichment plant installed at the factory to obtain a product of concentrated magnesite.

ROTARY KILNS

The concentrated ore is fired at a temperature of 1700-2100 oC in 2 rotary kilns, each with a capacity of 90 000 tons/year,

110 meter length 3.6m diameter

DEAD BURNT MAGNESITE

The dead burnt magnesite is produced in 15 different qualities, which are recognized throughout the world where it is used in the production of High Quality Basic Refractory Materials, due to their high purity and high density.

Since 1977, KÜMAŞ has been exporting a large portion of its dead burnt magnesite production to countries such as Ukraine, Italy, Germany, Romania, Yugoslavia, India, Spain, Iran, France and to other countries.

IMPORTANCE OF HAVING RAW MATERIAL

KÜMAŞ is one of the few examples of Refractory producers who has its own raw material sources.

Having own raw materials brought us the advantage of Consistency, Repeatability, Strict Quality and Cost Control on our production.

11

CONSISTENCY IN QUALITY

It is a widely accepted fact that, different sources of raw material causes fluctuations in the product characteristics in refractory materials. While most of the refractory producers buy their raw material from different sources depending on the price and availability, KÜMAŞ has its own raw materials and this has been the determining factor of success for KÜMAŞ.

We consider consistency for refractory products as the main parameter, which we focused on in order to achieve long lasting applications and precise campaign programming for our customers.

Main customers are Iron & Steel Industry, Cement Industry, Lime Industry, Glass Industry, Nonferrous Metals, Chemical Industries, Heating Element Producers other Refractory Material Producers.
