Guinea: Guinee Industries Ciments (GIC) has awarded KHD Humboldt Wedag a contract to upgrade its cement grinding plant located in Conakry. GIC will integrate a Comflex system into GIC’s existing ball mills. The system will be the third Comflex system with roller press technology that has been installed in West Africa. The new system is expected to double the production capacity of the grinding line.
KHD’s scope includes the engineering and delivery of mechanical and electrical equipment, as well as the supervision of erection and commissioning for the new Comflex SC16-3500. The core equipment includes a RPS 16-170/180 roller press with Rolcox system for control and monitoring, a VS 620 cascade separator as a static classifier, a SKS-VC 3500 Sepmaster separator as a dynamic classifier and a HKSK 212-275 system fan. Commissioning of the Comflex system is scheduled for the end of 2017.
