Netzsch Trockenmahltechnik releases details of Smart Removal filter hose changing system

20 September 2016

Germany: Netzsch Trockenmahltechnik, the dry products processing arm of Netzsch, has released details about its Smart Removal filter hose changing system, which combines the advantages of top and side removal systems in one product. The new system was developed to enable a filter hose change without tools, which could be carried out easily and rapidly, to cut costs. Additional focus was placed on reducing the residual dust content down to that of a top removal system. The new technology is designed to reduce mounting errors. Netzsch describe the mounting of the Smart Removal as up to 80% faster than previous side removal systems and that its low residual dust content is comparable to that of conventional Top Removal systems. The development was announced at the Powtech exhibition in Nuremberg in April 2016.

Loesche provides new cement grinding mills for Xuan Thanh Cement's Ha Nam plant

07 September 2016

Vietnam/Germany: Loesche GmbH has won an order for a new cement grinding plant in Ha Nam. The customer is Xuan Thanh Cement Joint Stock Company, a private company group (est. 1976) in Vietnam with more than 30,000 employees. In December 2015, Xuan Thanh Cement decided to invest in a new cement line from FLSmidth. Germany's Loesche GmbH, however, was chosen for the delivery of the cement mills.

After Loesche had already supplied a vertical roller mill for the first cement line in the same plant, Xuan Thanh JSC placed the order for the construction of the new grinding plants with two cement mills with Loesche once again.

During the signing ceremony, Mr Nguyen Xuan Thuy, General Director of Xuan Thanh Cement JSC, thanked Dr Thomas Loesche on behalf of the Xuanh Thanh Group. The contracting partners discussed future developments and confirmed their interest in continuing to work together on a long term basis.
The challenge of this project for Loesche lies in the integration of the new grinding plants into a cement line which is presently under construction.

The key elements of the scope of supply are two cement mills type LM 56.3+3 CS. In addition to the two cement mills, Loesche is also supplying further plant components, from the fresh material supply, the product filter and the mill fan to the finished material transport to the product silos. Loesche Automatisierungstechnik GmbH will be the supplier for the electric part and the automation of the grinding plants. Two hot gas generators type LF 20 L are designed to provide the product moisture guaranteed in case of kiln standstill. An extensive engineering package provided by Loesche will conclude the scope of supply.

Xuan Thanh cement plant will thus be fitted with state-of-the-art equipment for low energy consumption and for reduction of emission values to European standards. The lead time for the entire package is eleven months. Commissioning is forecasted for the second quarter of 2017.

HeidelbergCement revenue drops slightly but profit rises in first half of 2016

29 July 2016

Germany: HeidelbergCement’s sales revenue has fallen slightly by 1% year-on-year to Euro6.41bn in the first half of 2016 from Euro6.47bn in the same period of 2015. This was blamed on consolidation and exchange rate effects. Otherwise, profit rose by 46% to Euro354m from Euro242m. Clinker and cement sales volumes rose by 2.9% to 39.9Mt from 38.8Mt.

“In operational terms, the second quarter of 2016 was the best since the financial crisis and thus continued the positive trend of the previous year,” said Bernd Scheifele, Chairman of the Managing Board of the company. “The positive market environment in our mature markets and the recovery of demand in Eastern Europe made a significant contribution. We were able to raise the margins in operational terms in all business lines thanks to our margin improvement programmes and price increases in core markets. Furthermore, we have benefited from declining fuel costs.”

The group’s cement sales revenue fell by 3% to Euro2.92bn from Euro3.01bn. Its Northern and Eastern Europe-Central Asia and Africa-Eastern Mediterranean Basin areas both reported falling revenue from cement sales. However, the Asia-Pacific area saw its cement sales fall by 11% to Euro675m. Sales in North America partially offset this, with cement sales volumes growing by 4.7% to 5.9Mt from 5.6Mt.

HeidelbergCement reported that its acquisition of Italcementi is well on track with the subscription period for a mandatory tender offer to the remaining shareholders of Italcementi set to end on 30 September 2016. The entire takeover transaction is expected to be completed in the second half of 2016. HeidelbergCement also said that it had received ‘high’ interest for its assets on sale in the US. Binding offers are expected in the first half of August 2016.

HeidelbergCement releases Sustainability Report 2015

21 July 2016

Germany: HeidelbergCement has released its seventh Sustainability Report so far. Highlights from the report include a reduction of specific net CO2 emissions by 22% to 606kg/t of cement (compared to 1990 levels) and a decreased clinker factor of 75%. However, specific emissions for NOx, SO2 and mercury all rose slightly from 2014.

“The numbers show what kind of progress HeidelbergCement made in 2015,” said Bernd Scheifele, CEO of HeidelbergCement. “We have also substantially intensified our commitment to the development of technologies to use CO2 as a resource, and we have entered into very promising cooperative research projects. This puts us at the forefront of the movement in the cement industry.”

The 2015 report is also the first to present data on water management, following the implementation of industry indicators for water reporting at all cement plants in 2013 and 2014.
