Follow up order for Gebr. Pfeiffer in Kenya

World Cement,
Mombasa Cement has chosen Gebr. Pfeiffer as its supplier for the third time.
Mombasa Cement operates two cement mills from Gebr. Pfeiffer. In January 2016, the customer signed a contract for a vertical mill, type MVR 3750 C-4, for its Tororo plant in Uganda. In June 2016, the customer decided on a ready2grind with an MVR 1800 C-4 and thereby launched the story surrounding Gebr. Pfeiffer’s modular system. The system was set up and put into service in Vipingo, Kenya, within a short period of time.
Mombasa Cement is currently building its second kiln line at the Vipingo site. It has decided on Gebr. Pfeiffer for this line and has also ordered an MVR 3750 C-4 for the production of cement. The mill has a drive power of 2900 kW to produce 150 tph of ordinary portland cement. Delivery will take place in the context of close cooperation between the customer, the Indian branch of Gebr. Pfeiffer, and the headquarters in Kaiserslautern, Germany. The design, being identical to that of the mill in Uganda, provides advantages for the customer in terms of setup, maintenance, and the supply of spare parts.
This order is a further example of a successful and sustainable partnership with Gebr. Pfeiffer.
