Russia: Sibtsem Holding Company subsidiary Timlyuy Cement has announced the completion of essential upkeep on raw material mills five and ten at its Timlyuy Cement plant. Improvements included the replacement of exhausted plate feeders with bucket feeders for accurate dosing, “improving the quality of the finished product while lowering cost,” according to Timlyuy Cement process control chief expert Vladislav Zarubin. A new conveyor belt with an electric drive, strain gauges and control system was also included under the US$57,500 upgrades.

Timlyuy Cement says that per unit productivity has increased by 37% to 55t/hr from 41t/hr. Managing director Vladimir Klichko said, “For the Timlyuy Cement plant, improving the reliability of process equipment is traditionally one of the primary tasks. The modernisation of raw materials grinding, performed at the proper level, is the key to stable and efficient operation of the enterprise - a guarantee that even at the peak of the construction season, consumers will receive high-quality products on time, and in the right amount.”

Russia: TimluyCement has received a Hyundai Robex 210W-9S excavator at its 0.8Mt/yr Timluisky plant. The vehicle replaces the plant’s Twex EK-14. The new excavator is equipped with a bulldozer blade, outriggers and a hydraulic line for attachments and has a bucket capacity of 1.1m3. A Webasto pre-heater will warm up the engine before starting it in the cold season, increasing service life. TimluyCement managing director Vladimir Klichko said, “The modernization of the fleet of special equipment is an integral part of our production process. By acquiring high-performance, reliable vehicles, we increase work efficiency, minimise operating costs and also improve the working conditions of our employees.”

Hyundai previously provided the Timluisky plant with front-end loaders.
