Gebr Pfeiffer has received an order from HeidelbergCement for a vertical roller mill, which is due to be set up in its new 3000tpd kiln line at the group’s Kaspi plant in Georgia.

The mill will be type MPS 4000B, equipped with an SLS 3750B classifier, and has been designed for a capacity of 270tph raw meal. The mill is to be delivered with an enlarged housing to allow raw material with moisture levels of up to 10 per cent to be dried almost exclusively with available preheater gases.

Commissioning of the plant is scheduled for 2018.
