Australia: Germany-based Christian Pfeiffer has received an order for a grinding circuit comprising a 16.3m-long ball mill and a QDK T 250-Z type separator from Hallett Construction Materials. The circuit will have a capacity of 84t/hr, according to the supplier. Hallett Construction Materials plans to use the equipment at its upcoming Port Augusta slag cement grinding plant. The plant is scheduled for commissioning in January 2024.

Hallett Construction Materials chief executive officer Kane Salisbury said, “For us, the sustainability of the plant is the highest priority. That’s why we manufacture cement containing 100% slag.” Salisbury added “The Christian Pfeiffer process experts convinced us that the ball mill, in combination with a high efficiency separator, is the best system to serve our requirements.”

Japan: Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) has won an Award for Excellence at the 41st Nikkei Excellent Products and Services Awards for its carbon capture system. It was among eight industrial products to win the award for the year. The panel of judges selected MHI's system for its compact and versatile module configuration, which shortens installation and transport times.

MHI's model has been in industrial operation since June 2022, when MHI inaugurated its first system at Taihei Dengyo Kaisha's Seifu Shinto biomass power plant. The technology is now in operation or under implementation at cement plants in Japan and overseas. Most recently, MHI secured a carbon capture contract with a UK cement plant, Hanson's Padeswood plant, in mid-December 2022.

Germany: Hazemag has successfully completed its construction of a Centre Sizer 1025 crusher and a HAF25142 apron feeder. Hazemag will now despatch the equipment to Florida, US, where a ‘major aggregate and cement producer’ will integrate them in its operations.

Hazemag said “From the project’s inception, this producer focused on key partners that could deliver proven, reliable solutions - we are happy to be one of them.”

Senegal: Germany-based Gebr. Pfeiffer has received an order for an MVR 5000 R-4 vertical roller mill from Morocco-based Ciments de l'Afrique (CIMAF). CIMAF plans to install the mill at its Keur Moussa cement plant in Senegal. The mill has a capacity of 470t/hr, and will be equipped with an SLS 4000 VR classifier.

CIMAF hopes to reduce Senegal's reliance on imported cement from the time of the mill's commissioning, scheduled for early 2024.

Germany: Menzel Elektromotoren held a topping out ceremony for the erection of the last structural beam in its upcoming Hennigsdorf motors plant in Berlin on 16 December 2022. The motors manufacturer expects to complete construction in mid-2023 and commission the facility late that year. Full-capacity operations will commence from January 2024. Menzel Elektromotoren will relocate existing equipment from its Central Berlin plant to the new 6500m² site. The Hennigsdorf plant will offer an increased hoist capacity of 80t, enabling it to handle larger pieces of equipment.

In the cement industry, Menzel Elektromotoren motors run blowers, conveyor systems, crushers, fans and mills.

Israel: Cemex subsidiary ReadyMix Industries has placed a new order with transport safety technology supplier SaverOne 2014. The ready-mix concrete producer ordered a further 25 mobile phone control units for its truck fleet. The units are cloud-enabled and run off a mobile app which blocks drivers from using phones when their vehicle is in motion. The smart system can detect when a truck is stopped and differentiate between driver and passenger, enabling access when needed. Users can integrate their fleet's units with existing logistics management systems.

ReadyMix Industries completed a successful trial of SaverOne 2014's system earlier in 2022.

UK: Heidelberg Materials subsidiary Hanson has awarded a contract to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries subsidiary MHI Engineering for installation of a planned 800,000t/yr carbon capture system at its Padeswood cement plant in Flintshire. The producer plans to store its captured CO₂ in exhausted Irish Sea natural gas fields. MHI Engineering will carry out a pre-front-end engineering design study using its Advanced KM CDR solvent-based process. The supplier developed the process jointly with fellow Japan-based company Kansai Electric Power.

The project will be MHI Engineering's third of its kind at a cement plant, following similar commissions with Lehigh Cement in Canada and Tokuyama Cement in Canada.

Kenya: Savannah Cement has hired China-based Sinoma International Engineering for construction of its upcoming 2.92Mt/yr Kitui clinker plant in Eastern Province. The plant will additionally have a 900,000t/yr grinding unit, a 35MW fossil fuel-fired captive power plant and a 13MW waste heat recovery (WHR) system. Savannah Cement chair Benson Ndeta said that the plant will convert to 100% solar and WHR-powered production by the end of 2029.

Sinoma International Engineering plans to commence the project immediately, and to complete it in late 2024.

China: Anhui Conch Cement's carbon capture systems went on display at the Macao International Environment Forum and Exhibition in Macao Special Administrative Region on 9 December 2022. Anhui Conch Cement previously installed amine-based carbon capture systems at some of its cement plants, beginning with the Baimashan cement plant in Wuhu, Anhui Province. The producer said that it hopes to introduce its advanced equipment to the international community and to collaborate with other cement companies for the accelerated development of green technologies.

The Macao International Environment Forum and Exhibition addresses China's Dual Carbon Goal of peak national CO₂ emissions before 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060.

Taiwan: Japan-based Kataoka Corporation has successfully carried out an order for US$43.4m-worth of equipment for Taiwan Cement Corporation. Reuters News has reported that the order consists of cement plant machinery.

Kataoka Corporation is a developer and producer of laser processing systems and rechargeable battery inspection systems.
