Loesche's contribution towards the new production line 5 in Obajana includes a high performance 6-roller mill for cement raw meal with a capacity of 580 tph, the largest roller mill for raw material in the Loesche range. The order also includes a large 3-roller mill with a modular design featuring a drive power range of 1000 kW for grinding hard coal and lignite with a throughput of up to 70 tph. The two mill gear units offered are equipped with state monitoring and remote access for remote monitoring.
