Jens Michael Wegmann, CEO of the Industrial Solutions business area of thyssenkrup, said: “Our partnership with Yamama is built on a longstanding tradition and dates back many decades. We  are  delighted that  Yamama  is once  again  putting its  faith  in  our comprehensive  experience  in  the  turnkey construction of complete cement  plants worldwide. With our reliable, highly efficient technologies we are profiting from infrastructure expansion in many growth regions and at the same time contributing to the conservation of valuable resources.”

thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions is carrying out the contract on an EPC basis. Its scope of supply includes all components for the new lines, from raw material preparation to clinker manufacture to cement loading. The main components include two mobile primary crushers for limestone (each 1800 tph throughput), three crushers for additives (each 500 tph), two crushers for correctives (each

100 tph), as well as two circular blending beds for limestone, each with a capacity of 80 000 t and various additive storage  facilities. Four QUADROPOL  QMR2 roller mills  with a throughput of 425 tph and two 35 000 t capacity homogenising silos will be used to grind and store the raw material.

The new lines are scheduled to start operation in 2018.
