OYAK Aslan Cimento Sanayii TAS, awarded KHD Humboldt Wedag a contract for engineering and delivery of equipment to upgrade its cement grinding line. OYAK’s seventh KHD roller press will be installed at its plant in Darica-Kocaeli, Turkey.

The contract to install a new COMFLEX® grinding system will increase the capacity of cement grinding Unit #1 by more than 100 per cent and save approximately 20 per cent energy, KHD said in a statement.

KHD’s scope includes the engineering and delivery of mechanical and electrical equipment, as well as advisory supervision of erection and commissioning for the new COMFLEX® SC20-3250. This will be KHD’s fourth COMFLEX® grinding unit and 15th roller press system with V-Separator in Turkey.

The core equipment to be designed and delivered by KHD, as specified in this contract, includes:
• Clinker Grinding System / COMFLEX® SC20-3250:
• Roller Press RPZ 20-170/180 with ROLCOX® system for control and monitoring
• Cascade separator, type VS 620 as static classifier
• High efficiency separator SEPMASTER, type SKS-VC 3250 as dynamic classifier
• System fan HKF 190/280

The new COMFLEX® system will be integrated with the existing ball milll system. However, one of the primary reasons Aslan Cimento chose KHD’s COMFLEX® for this project is it‘s ability to produce finished product without a ball mill unit, the statement added.

Commissioning of the new COMFLEX® system is planned for the 2016.
