Mayor of Khulna, Talukdar Abdul Khaleque, along with managing director of Bashundhara Group Sayem Sobhan and other guests inaugurated the factory. The VRM was supplied by the German cement mill manufacturer Loesche GmbH.

While addressing the ceremony, mayor Talukder Abdul Khaleque said that BG had opened a door of huge employment opportunities for the people of the region, especially in the Mongla Seaport area of Khulna Division.

The mayor added that other industrial entrepreneurs should come forward to start industrial production by following BG. He warned those yet to start industrial work at the plots allotted to them, that they would run the risk of having their space cancelled if they did not start industrial production in the near future.

Germany: Loesche GmbH will be hosting its second 'Round Table' event in 2012 for customers from the Middle East on 15–17 October 2012 in Dubai.

More than 50 participants from the cement and other industries are expected to attend. Loesche Middle East FZE in Dubai, a subsidiary of Loesche GmbH in Duesseldorf, is a partner in planning and organising the event.

The conference will cover a range of industry topics, including a report on the development of the Arabic cement industry and a success story on a Loesche Mill in North Africa. Representatives from A TEC have been invited to present papers on pyroprocessing technology. In April 2012, Loesche entered into a close cooperation agreement with pyroprocess specialist A TEC Holding GmbH, Austria. Delegates will also receive news on the latest technical developments from Loesche.

On the second day of the conference delegates will be able to visit a Cemex cement plant in Jebel Ali, Dubai. The plant is running a LOESCHE Mill Type LM 56.3+3 C operating as a standalone solution.

Turkey: Nuryol Çimento has decided to use Loesche GmbH as the supplier of all mills for its new 4000t/day cement plant project in Karasu, around 150km east of Istanbul. Loesche will supply mills for coal grinding, cement raw material grinding and clinker grinding. The complete project execution and coordination will be done by Sintek Mining Machinery 
Industry Construction, which is based in Ankara.

Loesche will supply one Loesche mill type LM 46.4 to grind cement raw material at a rate of 330t/hr to a fineness of 12% R90u and a Loesche mill type LM 28.2 D to grind coal. The design capacity of the coal mill is 30t/hr, to a fineness of 3% R90u.

For cement grinding Nuryol has purchased a Loesche mill type LM 63.3+3, including process filter and fan. The mill is designed to grind OPC cement with a capacity of 240t/hr to a fineness of 3800cm2/g according to Blaine. This Loesche mill represents the largest vertical roller mill for cement grinding in Turkey as well as in the whole of Europe. It will have a table diameter of 6.3m and will be driven by a motor with a rated capacity of 7200kW.

Loesche's innovative Compact Plant design for cement grinding plants was an important factor that Nuryol says led it to choose a Loesche vertical roller mill for cement grinding. Compact Plant design eliminates the need for a large and expensive mill building, leading to massive savings in the required plant plot, in cost for structural steelworks and civil works as well as in erection time.

Argentina: Loesche, the German producer of vertical roller mills for the cement industry, has been awarded a contract by InterCement in Argentina for the supply of a solid fuel mill for its cement plant in Barker, Argentina.

The Loesche LM 35.3 D mill will be used for InterCement's Barker Coal project and will be used to replace natural gas in the kiln. The solid fuel dry-grinding plant will be designed for the grinding of coal and petcoke with product rates of 45t/hr for coal and 30t/hr for petcoke respectively. The mill's main drive power rating will be 960kW.

Besides the mill, the order comprises the complete machinery of the grinding plant in between the raw coal storage and the pulverised fuel dosification area. Electrical equipment and automation systems as well as the steel structures for buildings will be delivered by Loesche. Complete delivery is scheduled for the second half of 2012.

Germany/Austria: In a move that affects two major cement industry suppliers Loesche GmbH of Germany, the market leader in dry-grinding technology, and pyroprocessing specialist A TEC Holding GmbH of Austria have entered into a close cooperation agreement. The companies say that it is a mutually-beneficial move and both are convinced that they can jointly provide an even stronger and better support to clients in the cement industry. However, the core business of both companies will remain unchanged.

The companies said that the cooperation, combining technologies and sales organisation, opens new interesting opportunities for certain types of projects, for example combined upgrading projects including grinding circuits and pyroprocess optimisation. The cooperation also generates attractive synergies for both companies. They added that research and development and joint technology developments will provide new and innovative solutions to solve the issues of the cement production market in the future.
