Turkey: A new kiln line is being developed at the Batisöke Söke Çimento Sanayii TAS cement plant in Turkey.

Based on previous positive experience with Loesche, Batisöke Söke Çimento has ordered a type LM 56.4 Loesche mill with a capacity of 500t/hr at a fineness of 12% R at 90µm for grinding cement raw material. The gearbox of this mill has a power of 3400kW. Magnetic separators, metal detectors, refined parts for the mill fan and the engineering of the cyclone are also included in the scope of supply. The lead time for this vertical roller mill is 10 months. The new kiln line will be fitted with a type LM 28.3 D Loesche coal mill with a capacity of 40t/hr at a fineness of 5% R at 90µm for grinding solid fuels. The gearbox has a power of 700kW. For this mill, the further scope of supply includes magnetic separators, metal detectors, process filters, refined parts for the mill fan and explosion flaps. For grinding clinker, a type LM 53.3+3 CS Loesche mill with a capacity of 200t/hr CEM I with a fineness of 3500 Blaine will be used. The gearbox has a power of 4700kW.

The commissioning of the new mills is planned in the second quarter of 2017.
