US: Solidia Technologies has partnered with Xpansic CBL Holding Group (XCHG) to develop data technology products for precise measurement of CO₂ emissions and water usage in cement production. “Digital Feedstock enables industrial consumers to seamlessly connect sustainability ambitions with procurement decisions, wholly disrupting the way the cement industry meets consumer demand for accountability,” said Solidia Technologies CEO Tom Schuler.

Solidia Technologies produces reduced-CO₂ concrete with lower-energy cement and water-free CO₂ curing.

Germany: Siemens has announced what it calls a ‘plant lifetime-increasing’ Simotics HV M slipring motor for mills, crushers, conveyors or fans. The 4.5MW motor fills the gap in Siemens’ slipring range with powers between 0.5MW and 8.2MW. The product uses Global Vacuum Impregnation Technology to increase reliability, giving maximum plant reliability. Siemens Large Drives Applications CEO Hermann Kleinod said “The motors can be easily integrated using 3D-model data.”

Nepal: The government has approved changes to allow domestic cement to be labelled under 33, 43 and 53 grades. Previously cement could not be certified higher than 33 grade due to a lack of legal provision, according to the Himalayan Times newspaper. The extended quality certification process will be managed by the Nepal Bureau of Standards and Metrology.

Before this latest change some local manufacturers were selling 43 and 53-grade products despite lacking certification. Importers have also benefited from the lack of legal clarity over higher strength grades of cement. It is hoped that the new regulations will reduce imports.

Paraguay: Industria Nacional del Cemento (INC) has launched CPII – C40, a composite cement product. The pozzolanic product is intended for use in structural projects. Its properties include high initial resistance and increased resistance against water. The new product was publicly launched at the EXPO-FAIR Mariano Roque Alonso.

El Salvador: Holcim El Salvador is marking its 70th anniversary with the launch of a 42.5kg limited edition bag for its Fuerte cement brand. The new bag features the traditional red and black colours and landmark buildings constructed with Holcim’s cement product packaging, such as Torre Futura, the San Salvador Metropolitan Cathedral and the Divino Salvador del Mundo monument, according to the El Mundo newspaper. The new limited edition bag will be sold until the end of 2019.

Russia: The Akkermann cement brand has entered the Perm market. The Gornozavodskcement Plant near Perm has started producing cement products under the brand name, according to the Pro Perm website. 400, 500 and 600 strength products will be available in bags and CEM I 42.5N and CEM II / A-W 32.5B products will be available in bulk. The Akkermann brand is part of the South Ural Mining & Processing Company, which operates an integrated cement plant at Orenburg.

US: ABB has launched its Dodge Safety Mount spherical roller bearings product with a built-in patented locking mechanism. It says that this new feature can reduce installation time by up to 75% compared to traditional products. It is mounted by tightening fasteners, instead of using a hammer and other tools. The new system also allows for simple installation and removal from the same side of the bearing. The new bearing is intended for bulk material and air handling applications.

Safety Mount bearings feature a triple-lip contact seal and corrosion-resistant flinger sealing system, which prevents contamination from entering the product during installation and operation. A labyrinth seal option is available for high-speed and high-temperature applications. The product can also be used with ABB Ability Smart Sensor.

US: Trabits Group and Brookhaven National Laboratory have been selected to present joint research papers at two scientific geothermal forums on the self-repair ability of the FlexCem Lightweight Variable Density well cement product. The first presentation will be at the September 2019 meeting of the Geothermal Resources Council (GRC), which will be held in Palm Springs, California, US. The second presentation will be at the World Geothermal Congress (WGC), which will be held in Reykjavik, Iceland in April 2020.

FlexCem well cement was developed by Trabits Group following completion of a research grant from the Department of Energy Geothermal Technologies Office (GTO). It is a composite cement using Type I/II cement clinker and Ferrierite zeolite, interground in proprietary ratios.

Austria: Mondi has launched ‘myMondi’ a web-based platform. It says it is the first all-in-one digital customer platform available in the paper sack industry worldwide. The sales product is intended to enable customers to view live product and stock information, place orders and track order status.

US: Terex MPS has launched the TG series of cone crushers as part of its Cedarapids range. The bronze bushing spider bearing cone product is intended to complement the company’s MVPX Series (screw type cone) and the TC Series (floating bowl cone).

The new spider bearing range will consist of four models focused on the aggregate and recycling industries: the TG120 (120HP); TG220 (220HP); TG320 (320HP); and TG420 (420HP). Each model is available in two versions: the TG (tertiary) and TGS (secondary). There will also be two larger models available for large capacity mining and quarrying applications: the TG820 (820HP) and the TG1020 (1020HP).
