Name: De Hoek
Cement Manufacturing: The PPC De Hoek manufacturing plant is in the Western Cape Province, near Piketberg. It came into production in 1921, although PPC only acquired it in the 1950s. De Hoek produces Surebuild and Rapid Hardening Cement (RHC). The limestone comes from the nearby Zoutkloof Quarry. There are two operational kilns, kiln 5 (commissioned in 1974) and kiln 6, commissioned in 1980. 4-stage pre-heaters, conditioning towers and planetary clinker coolers are fitted to both kilns. To limit dust emissions, both the two kilns and the two finishing mills are equipped with ESPs.
