France: Aumund has won an order to supply equipment for an upgrade at LafargeHolcim’s Martres-Tolosane cement plant. Aumund Fördertechnik is supplying a package including belt bucket elevators to feed the 96m tall heat exchanger and the raw meal silo at the plant. Two Aumund BWZ chain bucket elevators will be used to convey raw meal and filter dust, and for silo feed. An Aumund KZB pan conveyor with a vertical lift of 9m will be installed under the clinker cooler.

Seven Aumund Louise-type drag chain conveyors with short centre distances of 13 m and conveying capacities between 7 and 50t/hr will extract filter dust. Two Centrex machines (25 – 250t/hr) will be extracting a mixture of limestone and clay as well as iron ore from silos up to 7m high.

The Euro100m modernisation project at the Martres-Tolosane works is part of LafargeHolcim’s Euro300m investment project in France. Once upgraded, the plant will be equipped to burn alternative fuels, and energy consumption and CO₂ emissions will be reduced. Work on the project will start in the final quarter of 2018 and be completed by mid-2020.

Poland: Beumer Group has received an order from Mostostal Kraków to provide four belt bucket elevators for the LafargeHolcim cement plant at Kujawy. These systems are part of a project to improve the production and the quality of cement blends.

Mostostal Kraków, a steelworks company is the general contactor on the project and it will provide LafargeHolcim with cement silos as well as the corresponding conveying technology. Beumer's belt bucket elevators, with centre distances of up to 50m, will enable a conveying capacity of 350t/hr, which is ensured by the special belt design of the steel wire belts. The systems will go into operation at the end of 2017.

Turkey: General contractor Bilim Makina has commissioned Beumer to supply and mount equipment at a cement plant project in Elazig. The order includes 13 bucket elevators for the transport of cement, clinker and raw meal, six apron conveyors and 13 silo discharge systems for clinker transport. The greenfield plant is expected to achieve a capacity of 5000t/day. Sycs İnşaar Çimento Madencilik is the user of this plant.

Two high-capacity belt bucket elevators with a centre distance of 133m each are included in the scope of supply. They are used for feeding the preheater tower with raw meal. Owing to the size of this plant, a conveying capacity of 500t/hr is achieved using steel wire belts.

The supply of the comprehensive technology has been completed. Beumer is now installing the plant.
