ABOUT US

The PERLIPOL company was established in 1995. In the first decade of its existence, its activity included the import of expanded perlite from Greece and Slovakia. In April 2005, the company launched a production plant in Bełchatów under a license from the Slovak company Kerko. Since 2013, PERLIPOL has also been producing expanded vermiculite, and since 2015 - hydrophobized perlite (offered under the name: hydroperl). Until November 2019, four technological lines for perlite expansion were in operation, each with a capacity of 50,000 to 100,000 cubic meters per year, which made PERLIPOL the largest producer in Poland. At the end of 2019, PERLIPOL launched the first milled (micronized) perlite production line in Central and Eastern Europe.

 

The company's management board consists of three co-owners: Krystyna Kuśmierek, Witold Derlatka and Jacek Benben.

PERLIPOL is constantly improving its production processes and strives to improve energy efficiency.

 

 

The owners of the company strive to ensure that all raw materials and technological processes meet high standards, thanks to which the offered products have the correct quality parameters and competitive prices.

Since 1995, PERLIPOL has been cooperating with scientists from the Lodz University of Technology who help in the development of recipes for building products containing perlite, test product parameters and propose innovations in production technology.

PERLIPOL is the only Polish company belonging to the international organization PERLITE INSTITUTE based in the USA, associating perlite producers from all over the world and constituting a forum for the exchange of experiences of its members.

The idea behind this organization is: "Members of the Perlite Institute work together to learn the most efficient and effective ways to produce ready-to-market perlite, to build awareness of the amazing potential of perlite among target industries, and to research and then inform end-users about the properties of the mineral ".

PERLITE AND ITS APPLICATIONS

Perlite is a volcanic mineral which, after thermal treatment, resembles polystyrene balls, pumice in structure, and chemically similar to glass.

Perlite ore is mined from the deposit using the opencast method. After mining, the rock is crushed and ground to sand. Then, while still in the mines, the ground ore is sorted into different fractions. This is an important process, because the size of a specific fraction determines what type of expanded perlite we will obtain in further processing.

Then the perlite sand goes to the expansion plants. There it is subjected to a thermal treatment which increases its volume. Perlite expands at a temperature of over 900 ° C. Then, chemically bound water molecules are released, which are a characteristic feature of this mineral. The escaping water causes the material to expand.

As a result of this process, perlite increases its volume up to twenty times. As a result, its density and bulk weight also drop twenty times, thanks to which we obtain a light and porous aggregate.

The most important element in the perlite expansion production line is the furnace in which the main physicochemical processes take place. The material stays in it for only a few seconds. After expansion, the perlite grains go to the cooler, where they are cooled down to a temperature of about 200 degrees, and then to the finished product silo. The line is also equipped with a system of cyclones and filters, where the dust generated during the production process is captured.

Then the perlite is poured into tank trucks or packed into big bags and sacks.

WERMIKULIT I JEGO ZASTOSOWANIA

Wermikulit to minerał, uwodniony glinokrzemian magnezu, o bardzo zmiennym i skomplikowanym składzie chemicznym. Krystalizuje w układzie jednoskośnym, najczęściej w postaci blaszkowatych skupień, kryształków lub płytek. Ma kolor złocistobeżowy. Jest efektem wietrzenia mik (flogopitu, czyli miki brązowej, lub biotytu, czyli miki czarnej). Zawiera związki magnezu, żelaza, glinu, tlenu oraz wodoru. Wydobywany jest głównie w USA, Afryce, Australii, Azji. W Polsce występuje na Dolnym Śląsku, lecz są to ilości nie nadające się do eksploatacji.

Cechą charakterystyczną wermikulitu jest nawet 20-krotne zwiększanie objętości podczas obróbki wysokotemperaturowej, W tym procesie powstaje wermikulit ekspandowany, mający postać spęczniałych harmonijek. Wermikulit w eksfoliowanej (rozszerzonej, ekspandowanej) formie jest lekki, niepalny, ściśliwy, bardzo chłonny, świetnie izoluje dźwięk i ciepło, jest niepalny, niereaktywny, ma wyjątkową zdolność magazynowania i oddawania wilgoci. Jest również  w pełni bezpieczny zarówno dla ludzi, jak i środowiska. Bardzo szeroki zakres temperatur, w których może być stosowany (od - 260 do 1200 °C), sprawia, że ma bardzo dużo zastosowań.

ECOLOGY

 PHOTOVOLTAICS 

 

PERLIPOL makes many efforts to minimize the impact of its production on the natural environment and climate.

This was the goal of the investment in renewable energy sources undertaken in 2019, i.e. the construction of a 105.3 kWp photovoltaic installation located on the premises of the Perlipol sp.j. in Bełchatów.

The subject of the project was the construction of a PV installation, which was placed on the roofs of three buildings belonging to the applicant, located on the land lot no. 75/5 and 75/07 in Bełchatów, ul. Przemysłowa 6. 390 PV modules and 6 inverters were used to build the system, which together, mounted on the assembly structure, form a photovoltaic installation operating in the ON-GRID system in the prosumer variant with a total area of 651.3 m2 and a rated power of 105.3 kW, capable of producing no less than 99,352 kWh of energy per year. The electricity produced by this plant is mainly used for Perlipol's own needs, while the surplus is sold to the grid. As a result of the project, the company achieves an ecological effect in the form of reducing the amount of pollutants released into the atmosphere (carbon dioxide emission will be reduced by approx. 59.56 tons, which is equivalent to the annual CO2 emission).

The project was implemented in the "design and build" mode.

Project value: PLN 653,007.00.

Co-financing of the project from the EU: PLN 445,956.00.

 PERLIT I WERMIKULIT - PRODUKTY EKOLOGICZNE 

 

In order to call a product ecological, it is necessary to analyze the path that it goes from the beginning of the production process to its disposal. Account must be taken of the emissions, carbon footprint, impact of raw material use, and the product's impact on the environment, human and animal health.

Perlite is a natural mineral of volcanic origin, so it does not contain substances harmful to human health and the environment.

The volume of raw material transported from mines to companies expanding it is only a few percent of expanded perlite

Perlite is chemically inert, and expansion at very high temperatures makes it biologically sterile.

This mineral comes from nature and can be returned to it after use (e.g. as an additive to soil).

 

Perlite protects the environment because:

  • no chemicals are used to produce all perlite derivatives,
  • the perlite production process does not create unusable by-waste,
  • perlite used in construction, thanks to its excellent insulating properties, reduces the consumption of energy needed for heating,
  • products with its use are much lighter than traditional ones, which reduces the environmental costs of transport,
  • it is used to purify water,
  • absorbs spills of hazardous substances,
  • it can replace the earth, thus protecting its natural resources,
  • packaging (bags or big bags) can be reused or recycled.
