Cementos Cosmos increases Toral clinker output 6%

Cementos Cosmos’ Toral de los Vados cement works in Spain increased clinker production by six per cent this year to 670,000t.

Some 185,000t of the plant’s output has been exported, including 35,000t to Brazil, 44,000t to Ghana and 53,300t to Haiti and 52,700t to the Canary Islands. In addition, Toral has also shipped 35,300t of bulk cement to Madeira via the port of Marín, Pontevedra.

In December, Cementos Cosmos will be investing EUR2.5m in improving the efficiency of its kiln and replace a 14m section of this key part of the production line. FLSmidth was awarded the contract.
