FLSmidth confirmed it has signed a contract with Prime Cement Ltd for engineering, procurement and supply of equipment for a full-scope cement grinding plant with a capacity of 700,000tpa. The plant will be located in Musanze, Rwanda. The contract will become effective when FLSmidth receives a down-payment from the customer, which is expected to happen later in 2017, the company said in a statement.

"This is a milestone project for FLSmidth, being the first OKTM vertical roller mill to be supplied in East Africa and the first full scope grinding plant in Rwanda," it added.

The contract includes a complete range of equipment from storages to packing and cement loading. FLSmidth will also supply equipment from other FLSmidth brands, such as a planetary mill gear unit from FLSmidth MAAG® Gear, filters from FLSmidth Airtech, a control system and plant automation from FLSmidth Automation, a packing plant from FLSmidth Ventomatic® and weighing and metering systems from FLSmidth Pfister® .
