World Cement,
Due to the successful installations of MVR vertical roller mills worldwide, information about the many advantages of this innovative grinding technology is spreading rapdily in the cement market.
This is quite understandable, because what can be more convincing than positive operating data from the field.
The Eastern Province Cement Company (EPCC) has now also become convinced of this state-of-the-art grinding technology. The company will use two of the advanced MVR vertical roller mills for its Khursaniyah plant in the new 10 000-tpd line to be built in Saudi Arabia. Two MVR 5000 R-4 vertical roller mills will be used for grinding cement raw material. In addition to efficient comminution and the associated high power density, MVR mills are also characterised by very smooth running and very low pressure drop. These features increase the technical availability and reduce both emissions and specific operating costs.
These mills will be the first MVR vertical roller mills to be installed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Each mill will be equipped with a latest-generation SLS 4500 VR classifier and will grind 550 t/h of cement raw material to a fineness of ≤ 10 % R on 90 µm.
The contract is being handled by the Chinese general contractor CDI from Chengdu.The MVR mill is expected to be commissioned in the second half of 2025.
