Minerval S.A. Dunkerque - France
The mineral and secondary products processing company MINERVAL is located in the ocean port of Dunkerque, France.







Minerval is located on the "darse n°5" with direct access to the quay in the port of Dunkerque. This port has known a significant development over the last 10 years through the presence of the steel plant Sollac Atlantique with a production of around 6,5 million tons of steel.

The hinterland has been underestimated in the past and has a good growth potential in the future for the development of new industries.

The tunnel to the UK from Calais has equally opened new opportunities just as the potential of outgoing container goods to Scandinavia, Spain or the Mediterranean.



Bulk materials supplied by the waterway can be directly unloaded into Minerval's premises for storage and further processing. The container terminal also allows the supply of smaller quantities or semi-treated products in big bags.
Minerval can process materials of a size of up to 300mm by a jaw crushing primary circuit. For spent products (recycling) a classifying circuit in combination with a cone crusher can reduce these materials to below 8mm. Individual cuts into different grain sizes is a second option as well as packing into big bags.

The raw material circuit has the option to either dry incoming products before classification into individual grain sizes or crushing in a closed circuit in a mill down to finer fractions.
The finished cuts can be extracted from their silos into bulk bags or component systems can be weighed in a big bag upon customers request. This option allows equally to integrate a specific secondary raw material in order to optimise the cost structure of the system.


Minerval is a service-company for handling, processing, and storage of minerals as well as secondary materials.

On the raw material side the company is specialized in the treatment of basic minerals for the production of refractory products and for the agriculture.
Raw materials and spent products can be supplied by its customers by vessel, barge, train or truck for toll processing.



Sampling on the production and finished products is affected according to customer's requirements and grain size distribution will be determined in the laboratory based on which a certificate of analysis will be established.

The records of these data allows the SPC and determination of specifications in agreement with the customers.



As a toll service provider Minerval adapts its activities to the demand of its customers to supply products and services to local and hinterland markets.
