Poland: Germany-based Schade Lagertechnik has upgraded the bulk handling equipment for raw materials including limestone and flue gas desulfurisation (FGD) gypsum at a cement plant in Górażdże. A Schade cantilever reclaimer was supplied to double the conveying capacity to 400t/hr with an associated belt conveyor.

Notably, the subsidiary of Aumund says that the order presented several challenges such as integrating the new equipment into the existing infrastructure, adapting it to the design of the building that dated back to the 1970s and installing the new kit whilst allowing the plant to continue operating. Once the new equipment had been assembled the installation team only had 10 days to dismantle the old machine and to switch operation over to the new equipment.

Schade Lagertechnik was responsible for the engineering, design, fabrication and supply. Aumund Group Field Service also assisted with the installation.

Nigeria/Senegal: Aumund Group will supply equipment for projects managed by China’s Sinoma for Dangote Cement projects in Nigeria and Senegal.

Three further Aumund belt bucket elevators with a capacity of 480t/hr will convey cement to the silos. An Aumund pan conveyor with a weighing scale mechanism and a capacity of 500t/hr, running from the coolers to the clinker silos, and three further Aumund pan conveyors under the clinker silo, round off this machinery package.

Schade Lagertechnik, a subsidiary of Aumund, will also supply equipment for these plants. This includes a stacker with a capacity of 3500t/hr for Obajana and another at 2160t/hr for Okpella, as well as a portal reclaimer to operate at 800t/hr in the limestone storage of each plant. Additional stockyard equipment completes the supply package.

For Dangote’s Apapa and Onne terminal projects, Aumund Beijing will supply a double bucket elevator to convey clinker to the silos at a capacity of 1200t/hr, and several other chain bucket elevators. Elevators to convey gypsum to the bunkers will have a capacity of 720t/hr at Apapa and 480t/hr at Onne. Two 1600 Series Samson material feeders with a handling capacity of 400t/hr of clinker, two Aumund telescopic chutes and two truck loaders for clinker will also be supplied to each terminal.
