Bangladesh: Aman Group has opened its second cement grinding plant at its Narayanganj complex, located 20km south of the Bangladeshi capital Dhaka. The new plant has a production capacity of 10,000t/day (~3.5Mt/yr), which, along with its first grinding plant, comfortably makes Aman the largest cement producer in the country. Commerce Minister Tofail Ahmed inaugurated the plant at the International Convention Centre Bashundhara in Dhaka on 23 May 2017.
Germany’s Loesche GmbH supplied the LM 56.3+3 CS type mill, which can grind Portland or composite cement to a fineness of 3200 Blaine. It can also grind granulated blast furnace slag at 175t/hr to a fineness of 4500 Blaine. In addition to the mill, the scope of supply also included additional technical equipment for the grinding plant such as a rotary feeder, 2-way chute, metal detector and permanent magnet drum separator.
