lightweight Building Material Made From Kansas Clays
A porous, high-strength building material from Kansas-clays is supplying some of the needs of the state's construction industry.
Two new lightweight aggregate plants in the state recently increased production and soon will have a combined output of 1,000 or more cubic yards of concrete aggregate daily.
A relatively new application of the Dwight-Lloyd sintering process is being used in the manufacture of a similar material, Lite-Wate. An advantage of this process is that a wider range of raw materials can be used.
One Kansas plant can claim two of the largest rotary kilns (each 125 feet long and eight feet in inside diameter) in the industry. With both kilns operating at full capacity, about 600 cubic yards of aggregate can be turned out in a 24-hour per-
Now being marketed chiefly for making concrete blocks, the aggregate will later be used for poured concrete. It will be used for all types of structures, especially massive ones, such as buildings, bridges and dams.
In the process, shale is introduced into the upper end of the kiln and the fuel, gas, at the lower end. The finished product is a porous, clinkered shale, which is crushed to pieces of %-inch diameters and smaller before marketing.
Norman Plummer, in charge of the ceramics division of the State Geological survey, who conducted initial studies leading to establishment of the plants, said the material being turned out is a superior, high-strength product.

of moving grates hold a mixture of the raw material and a small percentage of powdered coal. Above the grates is an oil flame and below a wind box.
Air from the wind box pulls the flame down through the material and ignites it in much the same manner that tobacco in a pipe is ignited. As the grates revolve past the flame the air continues to burn faster than before. From the grates as sintered cakes measuring about 3 1/4 feet by 2 feet by 8 inches. These cakes are crushed before being sold.
