Uzbekistan/Jamaica: Schade Lagertechnik has announced details of orders its has received from the cement industry from Kyzylkumzement in Uzbekistan and from Caribbean Cement in Jamaica.

In July 2016 Scaahde won a contract to supply two bridge type reclaimers and a stacker to Kyzylkumzement in Uzbekistan. The two reclaimers, each with a capacity of 1000t/hr and a rail span of 30m, and the 1200t/hr stacker will be delivered in the autumn of 2017 so that the plant can be commissioned in early 2018. The project is being supported with the aid of World Bank financing.

The order is part of the modernisation and improvement of cement plants that was called for two years ago by the Uzbek construction materials collective, Uzstroymateriali. This investment programme comprises nine projects for modernisation and reconstruction of plant at three of the largest cement works in the country, Kyzylkumzement in Nawoi, Akhangaranzement in the Tashkent region and Bekabadzement also in the Tashkent region. The investment volume at Kyzylkumzement alone is in the order of US$40m. Currently there are six cement plants in Uzbekistan with a total installed capacity of around 8Mt/yr.

Schade will also supply a full-portal reclaimer for limestone, with a capacity of 700t/hour and a rail span of 42m, to Caribbean Cement in Jamaica in the autumn of 2017. The project phase leading up to this order had been going on for almost 20 years. Rather than investing in a new machine, the initial plan was to convert an existing one. In the end the management decided that the purchase of a new machine would be more economical than incorporating all the required modifications into the existing machine.

Schade Lagertechnik produces equipment for bulk material stockyards and blending bed technology. It is part of the Aumund Group.

Bolivia: Menzel Elektromotoren has delivered two motors for a cement mill and a classifier to a cement plant in Bolivia. The mill, which manufactures high-strength cement with 5000 Blaine is the country’s first vertical roller mill for cement grinding. It is also the highest installed elevation, at 4000m above sea level, of an OK mill in North and South America.

Particular technical attention had to be paid to the motors' durability and ruggedness to withstand the special operating conditions. During the planning phase, the drive engineers and the customer decided on a change of voltage levels, construction of a foundation plate and the installation of a vibration monitoring system for integration into the control as requested by the customer.

After commissioning in September 2016, more than 10 motors from Menzel will be powering machines in the Bolivian cement plant.

Colombia: Cementos San Marcos has ordered a vertical roller mill to grind coal from Loesche. The order follows a previous purchase of a LM 35.2+2 mill to grind cement. The new coal mill will replace an existing smaller mill and reuse its foundation. The classifier and the plant ducting equipment will also be part of the contract. The cement plant was designed as a two-phase project to start a conservative market entry with the aim to more than double production capacity to meet market needs within a short period of time. The new coal mill fits into phase two of this progression.
