Loesche announces four mill contract with Pioneer Cement
31 August 2017Pakistan: Germany’s Loesche has been awarded a contract for four vertical roller mills by China’s Chengdu Design & Research Institute for
Pakistan’s Pioneer Cement, which is expanding its production capacity to 8000t/day in the Chenki/Khusab district in Punjab Province. The contract includes a 630t/hr Loesche mill for grinding raw meal, two Loesche finish mills, each with a capacity of 235t/hr and a 60t/hr Loesche coal mill.
Loesche Dynamic Classifiers will be used to ensure the appropriate fineness. The patented Vortex Rectifier and an optimised flow characteristic produce significantly lower energy consumption and therefore lower operating costs.
Efficient dedusting of the raw material mill is carried out using two HURRICLON® systems from Loesche’s A TEC subsidiary. This gives the advantage of reducing the total energy requirement of the plant due to the low pressure loss and high degree of separation. It also creates savings in steel construction and installation due to the significantly lower weight compared to conventional cyclone technology.
Delivery is due by the autumn of 2018.
Nepal: FLSmidth has signed a contract to build a cement grinding line for Nepal Shalimar Cement. The agreement includes the engineering, procurement and supply of equipment for a 35t/hr ordinary Portland cement grinding unit (3200 Blaine) at the company’s existing plant at Simara, Bara District.
The contract comprises a range of equipment, including an FLSmidth OK 19-3 vertical mill, bag filters, weigh feeders, truck loading machine, OK mill gear reducer and plant control systems. Completion is scheduled for the second quarter of 2018.
"The project is an example that world class energy-efficient technology can be applied even for smaller capacity grinding units. Our technological competences and a strong local presence allow us to support many emerging markets, including Nepal," said Country Head of FLSmidth India, Carsten Riisberg Lund.
