Claudius Peters' ETA Cooler exceeds 13,000t/day in China
17 November 2015China: The ETA Cooler, the concept for cooling clinker in the cement making process announced by Claudius Peters Projects GmbH in 2004, has reached a new capacity milestone with a more than 13,000t/day model going into production earlier in 2015 in China.
The ETA Cooler principle was introduced in 2004 with a 2000t/day installation at a Holcim cement plant in Switzerland. Over the last decade, Claudius Peters Projects has progressively offered the market increasingly higher capacity models. It has now reached 13,000t/day, currently the world's highest capacity cement line production. The company has said that even higher capacity is feasible.
Due to its design, no dust removal system is required with ETA Cooler and the relatively long stroke action means a low grate speed, which in turn means less wear and maintenance. As there are no obstructions to the clinker flow in this moving floor technology, high transport efficiency is also achieved, with uniform cooling, thus improving the quality of the clinker and in turn the quality of cement produced, according to Claudius Peters Projects. The ETA Cooler has a very low construction profile and modular design, allowing it to be retrofit to existing cement plants.
Semen Indonesia orders silos from Claudius Peters
11 August 2014Indonesia: Claudius Peters has received an order from Semen Indonesia to supply three new cement storage silos for their new integrated cement plant in Rembang, Central Java.
Claudius Peters will supply three Expansion Chamber (EC type) storage silos, with a diameter of 24m and a volume of 20,000t each. Cement will be discharged to two mobile VME-type bulk loading stations underneath each silo. Separate aeroslide transport to the packing plant is also included. These three new cement storage silos will be integrated with the four new packing plants which Semen Indonesia ordered at the start of 2014 from Claudius Peters.
Government loan of US$67m would help Industria Nacional del Cemento to reactivate contracts
11 June 2014Paraguay: The Paraguayan Congress is set to approve a US$67m loan to state-owned cement producer Industria Nacional del Cemento (INC) to resume investment in its Villeta and Vallemi cement plants. The funding will allow INC to continue its US$25.7m contract with FLSmidth to convert its fuel from fuel oil to coke as well as its US$6.3m contract with Claudius Peters, according to Esmerk news service. Other contracts are with Haver & Boecker, for US$7m to install two bagging facilities, and with Daca to optimise an agricultural lime plant, which is suspended due to legal issues, for US$5.9m. Overall, the investments that will be made with the loan will save INC US$30m/yr.
