US: Lafarge North America has contracted Gebr. Pfeiffer Inc. to supply an MVR vertical roller mill as part of the overall modernisation project underway at the Lafarge Ravena plant located in the Town of Coeymans, New York. The modernisation project will replace the current wet process kiln with a dry line, allowing the plant to cut emissions and also increase its capacity.
A Gebr. Pfeiffer MVR 6000 R-6 will be installed in a complete new line at the plant, replacing two existing raw material mills. The scope of supply will also includes a 5600kW motor, engineering, supply and related services. Commissioning for this project is planned for the middle of 2016.
