Aumund Fördertechnik, Rheinberg, Germany, reports that it has received an order for delivery of a substantial package of machines for the grinding plant at a new brown-field cement mill currently being constructed for Arabian Cement Co. in Rabigh, Saudi Arabia. It will have a clinker production capacity of 10,000t/day. By mid-July 16 bucket elevators, seven deep drawn pan conveyors, four arched plate conveyors and two CENTREX®  machines are scheduled to be delivered by Aumund.

 

Depending on their field of operation, the 16 bucket elevators are equipped with belt or chain and have elevating heights between 22 and 73m. They will be utilised for transport of cement from the grinders to the cement hoppers, for clinker transport, for the charging of the grinders and for the grinder circulation. One of the bucket elevators will be used for charging the grinders with additives (pozzolana, limestone and gypsum). The two CENTREX machines, each of 5m diameter, will discharge FGD gypsum. www.aumund.com
