India: Shree Cement has ordered 10 mills from Gebr. Pfeiffer. This deal continues the cement producer’s expansion strategy across India through integrated cement and grinding plants.

Gebr. Pfeiffer will supply MVR 6000 R-6 raw mills with capacities of about 550t/hr and an installed drive power of 6700kW each for the cement plants. These installations will come equipped with MPS 2800 BK type coal mills, each featuring a 720kW drive and an integrated SLS BK classifier. MVR 6000 C-6 cement mills are planned to grind clinker and extenders in at these cement plants or at grinding plants. These types of mill are already in successful operation at various sites belonging to Shree Cement. The cement producer currently runs 24 Pfeiffer mills.

Planned grinding plants will use the MVR 6000 C-6 mill to alternatively produce 300t/hr of Ordinary Portland Cement at a product fineness of 3100cm²/g acc. to Blaine or 300t/hr of Portland Pozzolana Cement containing as much as 35% of fly ash at a product fineness of 3500cm²/g acc. to Blaine or 180t/hr of ground granulated blast-furnace slag at a product fineness of 4500cm²/g acc. to Blaine. Each of the mills will come equipped with a 6700kW drive.

Gebr. Pfeiffer SE will supply the core components of the mill and the gear units from Europe. Its Indian subsidiary, headquartered in Noida, Gebr. Pfeiffer (India), will provide the components such as the housings of the mills and classifiers, the steel foundation parts as well as the internal parts of the classifiers. In addition, the Indian subsidiary will design the plant layout and advise the customer on the equipment it will procure on its own.

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.

Turkey: General contractor Bilim Makina has commissioned Beumer to supply and mount equipment at a cement plant project in Elazig. The order includes 13 bucket elevators for the transport of cement, clinker and raw meal, six apron conveyors and 13 silo discharge systems for clinker transport. The greenfield plant is expected to achieve a capacity of 5000t/day. Sycs İnşaar Çimento Madencilik is the user of this plant.

Two high-capacity belt bucket elevators with a centre distance of 133m each are included in the scope of supply. They are used for feeding the preheater tower with raw meal. Owing to the size of this plant, a conveying capacity of 500t/hr is achieved using steel wire belts.

The supply of the comprehensive technology has been completed. Beumer is now installing the plant.

Vietnam: FLSmidth has signed an engineering and procurement contract worth Euro34m with the Tan Thang Cement Joint Stock Company for the supply of main equipment to new cement plant in the Nghe An province. The order includes all the main equipment from the raw mill grinding to the clinker silo, as well as a coal mill installation, civil design, commissioning and training. Once completed, the cement plant will have a capacity of 5000t/day.

"This order is the second significant order to FLSmidth in Vietnam within the past year and was won against two other international competitors due to FLSmidth's strong track record in Vietnam and the use of the most efficient equipment. Vietnam has, for many years, been an important market to FLSmidth and, after a number of years with limited growth within the cement industry, the market is starting to pick up again," said Group Executive Vice President of the Cement Division Per Mejnert Kristensen.

The order will be booked by the company’s Cement Division and contribute beneficially to FLSmidth's earnings until late 2017.
