The Vietnam Machinery Installation Corp. (Lilama) has succeeded in manufacturing a rotating cement kiln for the Song Gianh Cement Plant. The kiln has a designed capacity of producing 4000t of clinker a day. This is seen as an important step in gradually localizing the manufacturing of complete equipment for the cement industry. Vietnam has set a target to design and manufacture between 70 per cent and 75 per cent of the equipment needed for its cement industry. Lilama is also manufacturing equipment for other mid-sized cement plants, including the Song Thao Cement Plant and the Pa Vinh Cement Grinding Station.
