How planetary gear drives help cement producers reduce operating costs
Explore how Rexnord™ Planetgear inline gear drives help minimise downtime, simplify maintenance, and lower spare parts inventory through intelligent modular engineering. Featuring real-world insights from an operating cement plant, discover how a strategic approach to gear drive selection supports long-term reliability and reduces total cost of ownership.
How cement producers are turning carbon pressure into commercial opportunity
Sylvera's analysis of 3000+ cement facilities reveals a fortyfold spread in carbon intensity (0.03 – 1.24 tCO2e/t). As EU free allowances phase out, CBAM ramps up, and EAC demand grows, lower-carbon producers stand to gain, but only with credible, facility-level data to prove their performance and capture value.
Building At Scale
Nana Yaw Ayensu, CBI Ghana Ltd., tells the story of how West Africa's most ambitious green cement investment moved from commitment to full-scale production and offers lessons for an entire region.

Enhancing bearing reliability in harsh cement plant environments
In cement manufacturing operations, reliability is a never ending concern. Equipment is routinely exposed to abrasive dust, vibrations, heat, and continuous operation – conditions that place significant stress on a variety of components. Bearings in particular play a critical role in maintaining uptime and failures often result in unplanned shutdowns, increased maintenance labour, and lost production.
