North Korea: Cement plants are increasing their output, with Sangwon Cement Complex reportedly ‘actively introducing inventions’ and ‘increasing the number of checking equipment’ to increase production, according to state-owned Korea News. The repair of the calciner for Kiln No. 2 is finished, which has also enabled higher daily output at the plant.
Supply of raw materials has increased, with the Sangwon Limestone Mine raising mineral output through improved blasting methods, and the Samchong Mine and Hwachon Coal Mine increasing ‘the proportion of mechanisation’ and equipment utilisation.
Other plants, including the Chonnaeri Cement Factory and Sunghori Cement Factory, are reportedly boosting production, but specific details are not disclosed.
