FLSmidth to supply equipment to Egyptian cement plant
06 March 2015Egypt: FLSmidth has received two contracts from the Egyptian cement producer Misr Cement Company in Qena for the supply of equipment for a cement plant which was originally supplied by FLSmidth. The equipment to be supplied includes among others an ATOX coal mill, an OK vertical cement mill, Pfister weighing and dosing systems, MAAG Gear reducers and Airtech filters.
"We are very happy to supply this additional equipment to an existing customer with whom we have co-operated since 1999. Our newly established Products & Upgrades group will be responsible for supplying the equipment - an offering which we are currently expanding," commented President of the FLSmidth Cement Division Per Mejnert Kristensen.
Misr Cement Qena back online
12 June 2013Egypt: Misr Cement Qena has announced that production has restarted at its plant after a period of disruption that was brought about by a shortage of mazot (a type of heavy fuel oil) at the plant.
The price of mazot has been increased by a factor of nearly 2.5 by the government since the start of 2013. Cement companies like Misr Cement Qena are increasingly looking to use other types of fuel, including alternative fuels.
