Ramco has recently inaugurated the Dry Mix Division’s Salem Plant in Chennai. This plant will offer various technologically advanced and well-engineered polymer-modified products, thereby taking the organisational philosophy of “Right Products for the Right Applications” forward. The plant will manufacture ready-mixed building products like Ramco Tile Fix in six variants, Ramco Tile Grout in 40 colour shades, Ramco Block Fix, Ramco Super Plaster—ready mixed with sand in three variants—and Ramco Super Fine Putty. These products will be offered in convenient packaging, keeping in mind their usage at construction sites, e.g., 1 kg pouches are available for Ramco Tile Grout and 25 kg bags for Ramco Super Plaster.

It is a fully automated batch mixing plant built to green standards. The plant has been set up adjacent to the Ramco Cement Grinding Unit. All raw materials are available within a 100-kilometre radius, ensuring minimal environmental impact.

A high-calorific value-based coal-enabled drying system, entirely confined storage bins for all raw materials and fully enabled bag filters are some key features that keep dust away from the plant’s manufacturing processes.

The plant has a highly sophisticated, state-of-the-art quality control lab. where every manufactured batch is checked and cleared before the product is dispatched. Specific tests like the pull-out adhesion test, shear adhesion test, water retention test, and application tests of each product variant are done in these labs.

Ramco Cements’ organisational philosophy of offering the “right products for the right applications” has driven all its activities. This philosophy has been at the centre of its Mix Division’s endeavour to offer engineered building products Now, the division has charted its expansion plan with new manufacturing locations across South India.
