World Cement,
St Mary’s Cement, part of the globally acting Votorantim Cement Group, ordered a SpectraFlow Airslide Analyser for raw mill optimisation for their Bowmanville Cement manufacturing unit in Canada.
This is the first SpectraFlow Airslide Analyser installation in the Votorantim Group and the first SpectraFlow installation in Canada. With this order SpectraFlow expands its installed base to 30 countries on all continents.
The SpectraFlow Airslide Analyser is an online analyser used to measure raw materials in airslides. As raw materials are processed through a crusher and raw mill, they are made statistically homogeneous and therefore the analytical results of the SpectraFlow Airslide Analyser are highly accurate, thanks to its strategic placement.
By using a SpectraFlow Airslide Analyser and a site-specific raw mix proportioning strategy, the variation in the local raw materials can be balanced out to increase consistency of the raw meal, and therefore kiln feed quality, considerably. Also a variable MgO, Na2O, K2O, Cl and SO3 content can monitored far more optimally. The more consistent kiln feed results in fewer kiln stoppages, decreased refractory problems and increased the clinker production and quality.
This SpectraFlow order is the 64th order for the Cement Industry and the 1st Airslide Analyser installation in Canada. This moves SpectraFlow's worldwide analyser base to 90 analysers (50 Crossbelt & 40 Airslide) in 30 countries across all continents.
