Water is used for cleaningand sorting pumice aggregate, and in the mixture of block in production in additionto sanitary purposes.Pumice is excavated from three different areas; the main quarry is located at thefactory site and the other reserves are 4 and 10 km far from the factory. Pumice isusually found close to the surface and as 4-5 metres thick bands. No extra processlike blasting is required to loosen the pumice deposit.Pumice aggregate preparation for block production is consisted of (i) excavationand loading of pumice, (ii) transportation to cleaning / sorting bunker, (iii) cleaningand sorting of pumice, and (iv) transportation to production bunker processes.644
