Estanda supplies LafargeHolcim plant in Nigeria

Estanda has supplied a LafargeHolcim cement plant in Nigeria with new designs for more efficient dip tubes, the Spanish equipment supplier said in a statement.

The project, which was for the supply of the dip tubes and supervision during their assembly, included an initial stage of total component redesign and modifying dimensions and materials used by the client to adapt to the technical recommendations provided by Estanda.

The proposed solution will prevent wear and low-durability issues that the dip tubes had been suffering.

The project was developed on stages 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the preheater cyclones with the installation of refractory steels resistant to high temperatures and abrasion.
