Argos restarts kiln to boost Colombian capacity

Colombia: Cementos Argos has restarted kiln 2 at its Toluviejo Plant in Sucre after more than six months of maintenance and improvement work and after almost five years out of use. The US$7.4m project has increased the plant’s capacity by 0.2Mt/yr to 0.8Mt/yr.

The main works carried out included the rehabilitation of the preheater tower stands, the installation of a new burner that provides greater performance and re-conditioning of the kiln.

“We are very excited about the start-up of this kiln, as it is an investment that materialises our trust and the commitment that we have in Argos with the development of Colombia,” said Carlos Horacio Yusty, vice president of the Colombia Region of Argos. “In addition, it prepares us to continue serving the national and international demand for cement in a more efficient manner.”
