A Spanish consortium consisting of Sacyr Industrial and Imasa Ingenieria y Proyectos has awarded a contract to Claudius Peters. The contract is for the delivery of a packaging and palletising system for the Potosí cement plant in Bolivia.
The scope of delivery consists of a 12 spout PACPAL ROTO FILL, which has a capacity of 3600 bags/hour, an automatic bag applicator with cassette magazine, and a palletising system PACPAL Palletiser 5000. The palletiser is designed for 50 kg bags and is suitable for a five bag layer type on slip sheets.
As a particular challenge for electrical components, an altitude of 4000 m above sea level has been tackled with corresponding equipment parts being selected and installed.
The plant is operated by the state-owned cement producer ECEBBOL and is already under construction.
