Its furnaces with continuous cooking with short flame stopped only a few weeks in a few months per annum, according to the market. The successive plans of mass show the reinforcements brought to the furnaces which worked makes exceptional for industrial tools more than two hundred years until in 1962.Les physical efforts and thermics to which they were subjected returned necessary doublings and external buttresses. Uses of lime.
Agriculture is it principal outlet.
La hydrated lime obtained by extinction by water contribution which releases a sharp heat is mixed with sand to provide the mortar of the former masons.
