Germany: Hendrik Rahms will be supporting Loesche ThermoProzess GmbH (LTP) in technical sales and in the product development of thermal applications. After working as a process engineer and project manager for several years at Brinkmann Industrielle Feuerungs-Systeme GmbH, Rahms is very familiar with the products of burner and process technology as well as the customer requirements in the industry.

Germany: Loesche ThermoProzess GmbH has been certified as a specialised welding company. Certification according to DIN 18800-7: 2008-11, Class D in relation to welding steel constructions was performed by the SLV Duisburg (welding technology training and testing institute) of the GSI (company for international welding technology).

The certificate covers 135 metal-active gas-welding processes with solid wire electrodes (partially mechanised) and 141 tungsten inert gas welding processes (manual) for complete machine and plant construction (serial numbers according to DIN EN ISO 4063). It concerns the base materials S235, S275 and S355 in line with DIN EN 100025 as well as stainless steels from the strength class 235 in line with the relevant approval document from the DIBt (German Institute for Civil Engineering).

"In future, Loesche ThermoProzess GmbH will be even more qualified to provide customers with first-class products, on the next day if necessary, which ensure the smooth operation of production facilities," said Dietmar Leiter, the responsible welding engineer at Loesche ThermoProzess GmbH.

China: Loesche GmbH has completed work on the largest slag mill in the world for Shanxi Taigang Stainless Steel Co (TISCO) in Taiyuan, China achieving a new record product rate of producing 255t/hr blast-furnace slag meal. The Loesche type LM 63.3+3 vertical mill for grinding granulated blastfurnace slag was originally ordered by the Taigang Group International Trade Co in September 2011. It started operation in March 2014.

At the TISCO steelworks the LM 63.3+3 has now been used for the pure grinding of granulated blast-furnace slag for the first time. The mill is driven by a motor with an output of 7400kW, the most powerful motor to have been installed so far by Loesche in a mill. The projected guarantee values of 255t/ hr granulated blast-furnace slag at a fineness of 4400 Blaine are reliably attained here. This is also ensured by the newly developed Loesche LDC classifier, used in the grinding plant and ideally customised to the Loesche mills.

The first Loesche LM 63.3+3 mill started production at Nallalingayapalli, India in 2009. It attains a peak value of 367t/hr ordinary portland cement at 3000 Blaine or 371t/hr portland pozzolana cement at 3400 Blaine.

Germany: Loesche GmbH has won the Deutscher Bildungspreis 2014 in the category 'Production: small and medium-sized enterprises,' for its training and management programmes. It beat 120 other companies to the award, which was awarded at a ceremonial event at the historic Munich Künstlerhaus on 12 May 2014.

The Deutscher Bildungspreis is presented annually by TÜV Süd Academy and EuPD Research Sustainable Management under the motto 'Learning from the best.' In four sector categories, companies are awarded for best education and talent management under the auspices of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research.

"Loesche owes this success to the instruments of the demand-oriented personnel development introduced in 2008 as well as the close cooperation with the Loesche Training Center and the benefits for the staff associated with this," said Christian Trzeczak from Loesche's Corporate Human Resources department. "This result will further consolidate the employer brand Loesche and shows that we are on the right track towards a productive personnel development in the company."

Indonesia: Loesche has set up a full service hub in Jakarta, Indonesia. The office has been in full operation since January 2014 and focuses on plant modernisation and spare part supply, as well as on site support with all kinds of services for audits, maintenance, installation and commissioning activities in the entire Indonesian region.

Loesche has been present in the Indonesian market for more than 40 years and can now focus on closer client relationships and faster reaction times for the benefit of the local market. A one-day seminar took place in the Le Meridien Hotel in Jakarta on the 27 March 2014, introducing the Group's portfolio and activities. Apart from Indonesian cement producers, a wide audience from the coal mining sector attended. In addition to well-known technology for the cement sector, Loesche also introduced the newly patented coal enhancement process, which attracted much interest, especially as Indonesian miners are looking for a professional solution for coal upgrading.

Saudi Arabia: China's Tianjin Cement Industry Design and Research Institute Co Ltd Tianjin, part of Sinoma International, has signed a contract with Loesche for the delivery of a LM 56.4 vertical roller mill to the cement plant of United Cement Industrial Company in

Saudi Arabia.

The Loesche mill will grind cement raw material at a production rate of 420t/hr with a fineneness of 12% R 90μm / 2% R 200μm. Loesche will also deliver a 3600kW capacity gearbox. The very hot ambient conditions in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia causes very dry raw materials, necessitating a grinding bed sprinkler system.

Delivery for the key parts of the LM 56.4 is scheduled in August 2014. The commercial production of cement is expected in the second half of 2015.

Tanzania: Loesche GmbH has received an order from Tanga Cement Company Ltd in Tanzania for the supply of two vertical roller mills.

The order covers engineering and supply of two Loesche vertical roller mills, one LM 41.4, which will grind 200t/hr of cement raw material with a fineeness of 15% R 90μm, one LM 19.2 D coal mill with a grinding capacity of 20t/hr. and a fineness of 12% R 90μm. Included in the scope of supply is a rotary star feeder for the raw meal mill and a coal screw feeder for the coal mill. The delivery of the mill key parts is planned for July 2014.

This is Tanga Cement's first order from Loesche. Tanga Cement's plant, which was commissioned in 1978, has a production capacity of 3000t/day.

Indonesia: Loesche has opened an overseas subsidiary PT Loesche Indonesia (LND) in Jakarta. The new subsidiary will be managed by Detlef Blümke, who has been head of the company's commissioning department and deputy-director of Loesche's technical field service.

"Blümke's strong technical background and experience in developing new markets for our service activities has made him an excellent choice as managing director of PT Loesche Indonesia," said Dr Joachim Kirchmann, Loesche's joint CEO. Blümke will establish PT Loesche Indonesia in the Asian market and developing the company's presence as a new regional service hub for the Loesche Group.

Blümke took up his new role at the start of October 2013 and PT Loesche Indonesia is scheduled to be fully operational from 1 January 2014.

Germany: The second Techincal Seminar was held by the Loesche Training Centre in Dusseldorf, Germany, between 7 - 9 October 2013. It was attended by more than 40 delegates.

Theodora Bruns and the Loesche Training Center team organised the seminar and Dr Daniel Strohmeyer, Process Technology department of Loesche GmbH, moderated the sessions. Nine lecturers presented an overview on process and operation of a Loesche Mill, its hydraulic system and the latest development in classifier technology. Specific attention was paid to wear, repair and spare parts for Loesche Mills. Lectures on oil quality, oil sampling and new cement types were also included.

Belgium: Loesche has developed a dry refining process for stainless steel slag (EDS), with CALA Aufbereitungstechnik GmbH & Co. KG, to obtain a high-purity metallic portion and a valuable, metal and mineral-free filler material at the same time. Belgian company RECOVAL assigned Loesche with the engineering and delivery of a turnkey processing plant primarily for stainless steel slag.

In the recovery process, and purely by the addition of CO₂ to the EDS, finished components with structural properties like those of concrete are produced without the use of conventional cement. A Loesche Vertical Mill type LM 15.2M will be at the centre of a newly-built processing plant for the manufacture of such components in the district of Charleroi, Belgium. Around 20t/hr of stainless steel slag will be processed in this specially designed mill.
