The construction sector, a key driver of economic activity and a significant part of any national economy, is heavily dependent on the building materials industry. Vast amounts of various materials are used every day in constructing buildings of every sort and transportation infrastructure of all kinds. The production of these materials involves the mining, quarrying and processing of raw materials on an enormous scale – producing for example gravel, sand and bitumen for road construction or aggregate, cement and additives for concrete production. Minebea Intec’s wide range of weighing equipment offers the robustness, durability and IP protection needed for such applications.
