Frequently Asked Questions
Capital requirements generally include land acquisition, construction, equipment procurement, installation, pre-operative expenses, and initial working capital. The total amount varies with capacity, technology, and location.
To start an activated fuller earth manufacturing business, one needs to conduct a market feasibility study, secure required licenses, arrange funding, select suitable land, procure equipment, recruit skilled labor, and establish a supply chain and distribution network.
Activated fuller earth requires raw materials such as bentonite or attapulgite (palygorskite) clay, often found in natural deposits of hydrous aluminum silicates. Other minor minerals like quartz, calcite, and dolomite may also be present in the deposits. The clay is treated with an acid solution, such as hydrochloric acid, to activate its adsorptive and bleaching properties.
An activated fuller earth factory typically requires crushing and screening raw clay, acid treatment tanks, moisture removal dryers, filtration units, sizing (classification and sieving) machines, storage silos, material conveyors, and packaging machines.
The main steps generally include:
-
Sourcing raw fuller’s earth
-
Initial cleaning by removing dirt, stones, and impurities
-
Acid treatment with sulfuric or hydrochloric acid
-
Activation process (Heat-treated to increase adsorption capacity)
-
Washing and neutralization with alkalis
-
Drying the clay to remove moisture
-
Crushing the activated earth to powder
-
Sieving the powder by particle size and quality
-
Quality Control by testing adsorption, moisture, and purity
-
Packaging, storage, and distribution
Usually, the timeline can range from 12 to 24 months to start an activated fuller earth manufacturing plant, depending on factors like site development, machinery installation, environmental clearances, safety measures, and trial runs.
Challenges may include high capital requirements, securing regulatory approvals, ensuring raw material supply, competition, skilled manpower availability, and managing operational risks.
Typical requirements include business registration, environmental clearances, factory licenses, fire safety certifications, and industry-specific permits. Local/state/national regulations may apply depending on the location.
