Dry enrichment of kaolin ore is performed at the air float plant (AFP).

Air floating results in a finished product without the use of chemicals, which makes it possible to use it in many industries, namely for:

• the production of general rubber goods, plastic articles, artificial leathers and synthetic tissues;
• the production of electrotechnical silumin;
• the glass industry;
• the production of glass fibre;
• the production of cosmetics.

The production capacity is 90,000 t per year.

The moisture content of the air floated kaolin products is 0.7-1.0%.

In terms of application in different industries, the following grades of air floated kaolin are singled out at the air float plant:
