susmax conducts successful pilot testing

SusMaX conducted a pilot manufacturing of its novel lightweight aggregate called SPORA in April. During this pilot, we successfully manufactured 400 Ibs of SPORA. Our planned manufacturing methods, tested only previously at a lab scale, were easily and successfully implemented at a scale 50 times larger than what we achieved in the lab. All the engineering properties of SPORA including, dry specific gravity, water absorption, and unit weight, scaled with our manufacturing.

This pilot material enabled us to provide samples to a handful of our ready-mix concrete customers for concrete testing in their labs. This successful pilot brings SusMaX one step closer to the tonnage-scale production needed for full commercialization.
