South Korea-based Sun Cement Co Ltd has placed an order for a Loesche vertical roller grinding mill for granulated blast furnace slag.

Plans have been made to replace the current outdated ball mill at the cement producer's Mokpo works with a new grinding plant. Loesche has been commissioned to deliver a  LM 35.2+2 CS mill for the project. The vertical roller grinding mill will produce slag cement with a fineness of 4600 Blaine, at a capacity of 45tph. The capacity of the gearbox will be 1600kW.

Delivery of the key parts is planned for the end of 2015.
