Railton Plant
Located at Railton in North West Tasmania, the Railton plant has been operational since 1923. The plant produces cement using the fuel-efficient pre-calciner manufacturing process and has its own limestone mine facility and operation. All production at the plant is controlled and closely monitored by a Gamma-Metrics cross belt x-ray analyser along with a fully equipped laboratory.
Production at Railton currently exceeds one million tonnes of cement per annum, the majority of which is transported to the Victorian and New South Wales markets.

Environment
Cement Australia Railton utilises energy efficient and environmentally sound methods of cement manufacture. The plant contains state-of-the-art components that reduce emissions and greenhouse gases. Energy efficiency continually increases as alternative fuels and alternative materials, such as fly ash, are used as substitutes in the manufacturing process.
Ongoing rehabilitation work on the old limestone mine has received the Keep Australia Beautiful Council's major environmental award in 1997, 1998 and 2000. Cement Australia Railton also provides financial support to the Airwatch Tasmania program, a program that has been established to raise awareness of air quality issues among children of primary school age.
