Calaveras Cement Con.rpany n'ill spencl a third of a million doilars cluring 1954 to increase the efficiency of its San Andreas, Calif., plant. The Company's board of directors has voted an expenditure of $328,000 for refinements in manufacturing and shipping processes. These are expected to streamline plant operations.and reduce operating costs. The plant has increased its capacity 200 per cent since the end of \\rorld War II.
H. C. "Pat" Maginn, .chairn.ran of the Calar.eras finance committee, told the board of directors that the improvement program "not only u'il1 lou'er production costs lrut rvill set a new high in service to contractors and dealers."
The improvement program calls for the addition oi a number of nerv lightn-eight bulk cement trains t<t the company's large transport fleet, a cclmplete changeover in sackloading equipment, modernization of materials handling facilities, and purchase of Nlulticlone equipr.nent to improve burning efficiency of the plant's four kilns. A new BucyrusF)rie rotary drill capable of drilling blast holes up to a foot in diameter will be addecl to qua:ry equipment, and a Caterpillar motor grader n'ill be placed in service for mairrtenance of company roads.
