an amazing opperation! do you know if old time masons in the U.S. would make lime in this fashion from site to site? Reproducing old mortar is an art form.
Certainly, you have to remember that all of these masons came over from Europe at one point. I just recently built a small lime rick to burn oyster shells, using local wood as the fuel source along with a small amount of lump coal. Lime turned out nicely.
If you look at Virginia Lime Works on YouTube, you will see them slaking some of their calcined limestone. It would be great to see a return to traditional lime burning in the U.S. for use in preservation/conservation. Unfortunately, so many masons in this country look at lime as being inferior to portland cements. The reason being is that they are ignorant to the fact that there thousands of structures built with lime that are hundreds, and in some cases thousands of years old.
Thank you so much for posting this. I give lectures on the history of lime making in California and use this video. It nicely documents the traditional technology. What is the purpose of the large slab being lowered into the kiln? It appears to be too large to make into lime. I would love to see a longer video showing the steps in more detail.
yes, we produce lime putty or powder both for lime plasters and for lime paints also. Burning with woods are traditional technology and our aim is produce by this way with in traditional limekilns-this way is quaranty for high quality.
Hi, Do you produce lime powder for lime plasters? Is there a difference in quality of lime, if lime is burnt with wood or continuous gas-flow? Look at Bericalce lime production system, or StAstier lime production process.
