Cemengal has announced new orders in Africa and the Middle East. The Spanish company will supply a second Plug&Grind® to a client in Saudi Arabia. In addition, Cemengal will supply two Plug&Grind® units to Mauritania.
Plug&Grind® is a complete cement grinding and packing station that can produce up to 100 000 tpa of standard OPC cement. It is assembled in Spain with European components and then fitted into eight or nine containers for shipping.
ABB recently completed an extensive upgrade of the extended automation system 800xA at Eastern Province Cement Company’s (EPCC) plant in Al Khursaniya, Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Cement Company will remove kilns 1, 2 and 3 from its Holuf plant. After initially restarting the kilns in late 2012 to meet demand levels, these older kilns are no longer needed.
