Perfect engineering decisions for your technological processes

The development history of the basalt continuous fiber (BCF)  begins in 1923, when Paul Dhe (Paris, France) first discovered the idea of ​​producing fiber from basalt. Since the early 1960s, almost simultaneously, the United States and the USSR began research on the use of basalt fiber, in particular in the military sphere in the production of rockets.

Over time, the United States ceased active research in this area, and the USSR Ministry of Defense contributed to the collection and concentration of further researches in Ukraine, Kiev.

After the collapse of the USSR in 1991, developments in this area were declassified and research was redirected to the use of BCF in the areas of civil engineering. Today in the world there are several industrial plants (Ukraine, Russia, China, Uzbekistan, Ireland, USA), which successfully produce CBF and contribute to the expansion of its application areas, the use of CBF as a raw material in composites is especially popular.

Our engineering solutions are based on technologies developed and patented by our Сhief Еechnologist Mr. Grigory Gorbachev (Ph.D.), who stood at the origins of the BCF creation.

The production technology of BCF on an industrial scale consists of the following stages: raw materials in the form of 10-25 mm fractions are loaded into the feed hopper of a pusher type loader using an automatic monorail loader.
