KHD ordered to pay damages to South American customer
18 February 2016Germany: KHD International and its US-based subsidiary Humboldt Wedag (HW Inc) have been ordered to pay damages by a Portuguese arbitration court to a customer in South America. HW Inc’s arbitration claim for disbursement of outstanding payments, reimbursement for a called bank guarantee, as well as additional compensation (for damages) was denied. KHD expects the damages to lead to expenses of Euro15m in its 2015 financial results. The customer has not been named.
“This ruling does not reflect our own or our legal counsel’s expectations in any way. We believe that it is grossly incorrect and will exhaust all promising possibilities for success in proceeding against this judgement,” said KHD International CEO Johan Cnossen. KHD said in a statement that the arbitration award would not have an impact on its forecast results for 2015 as ‘adequate’ provisions had already been set up.
Aşkale Çimento orders KHD grinding units for two plants
22 January 2016Turkey: Aşkale Çimento has placed orders with KHD for new cement grinding systems at cement plants in Akoluk and Bilecik. Commissioning of both COMFLEX® systems is planned for the first part of 2017.
At Akoluk the new COMFLEX system will be installed in front of a new 100t/hour ball mill. At Bilecik the COMFLEX unit will allow Aşkale Çimento to increase the existing capacity from 100t/hour to 210t/hour at 3800 blaine. Between 2006 and 2011 KHD supplied three kiln lines to Aşkale plants in Askale, Van and Gümüshane.
KHD's scope includes engineering as well as the supply of mechanical and electrical equipment. KHD will also supervise erection and commissioning of the new systems.
The core equipment of the COMFLEX SC16-3500 clinker grinding system includes: Roller Press RPS 16-170/180 with ROLCOX® system for control and monitoring; Cascade separator, type VS 618 as static classifier; High efficiency separator SEPMASTER, type SKS-VC 3500 as dynamic classifier; System fan HKSK 212/275.
With this new order KHD has now sold six COMFLEX plants in Turkey. Other COMFLEX systems are in operation in Denizli, KCS, Aslan and Batisöke.
Oyak orders KHD equipment for Aslan Çimento plant
05 October 2015Turkey: Oyak Aslan Çimento has awarded KHD Humboldt Wedag a contract for engineering and delivery of equipment to upgrade its cement grinding line at its plant in Darica-Kocaeli. The installation will be Oyak's seventh KHD roller press at the facility.
The contract to install a new Comflex grinding system will increase the capacity of cement grinding unit no. 1, by more than 100% and save approximately 20% energy. KHD's scope includes the engineering and delivery of mechanical and electrical equipment, as well as advisory supervision of erection and commissioning for the new Comflex SC20-3250. This will be KHD's fourth Comflex grinding unit and 15th roller press system with a V-Separator in Turkey.
The core equipment to be designed and delivered by KHD, as specified in this contract, includes a Comflex SC20-3250 clinker grinding system with:
- Roller Press RPZ 20-170/180 with Rolcox system for control and monitoring
- Cascade separator, type VS 620 as static classifier
- High efficiency separator Sepmaster, type SKS-VC 3250 as dynamic classifier
- System fan HKF 190/280
The new Comflex system will be integrated with the existing ball mill system. However, according to KHD, a primary reason Aslan Çimento chose KHD's Comflex for this project is it's ability to produce finished product without a ball mill unit. The commissioning of the new Comflex system is planned for 2016.
