Gebr. Pfeiffer will supply an MVR 1800 C-2 vertical roller mill to Hans G. Hauri KG Mineralstoffwerke in Bötzingen, Germany.
The company, which specialises in processing phonolite rock quarried in the local area, has been using MPS mills from Gebr. Pfeiffer since 1969. In 2006, Hauri KG installed its first MVR vertical roller mill (type 1800 C-4).
The new MVR mill will replace a spring-loaded MPS 125 A vertical roller mill, which was supplied by Gebr. Pfeiffer in 1975. The MVR 1800 C-2 is designed to achieve the same product fineness as the existing mill, whilst also increasing capacity by around 50%.
The Construction Equipment and Building Material Machinery Association of the German Engineering Federation (VDMA) has reported an 8% growth in turnover for 2014, at €8.4 billion – higher than originally expected.
Egypt’s Titan Cement has ordered an MPS 2800 BK vertical roller mill from Gebr. Pfeiffer SE for production line no. 1 at the company’s Beni Suef plant.
