FLSmidth has been awarded an order from Power Cement Ltd, part of the Arif Habib Group in Pakistan, for engineering, procurement and supply of equipment for a 7700tpd production line comprising two projects; clinker production and cement production and dispatch. The new production line will expand the two existing lines located in Nooriabad north-east of Karachi, Pakistan.

The order includes a complete range of equipment from crushing to packing and cement loading. FLSmidth will also supply equipment from the company's own product brands, such as planetary gear units from FLSmidth MAAG Gear, fabric filters from FLSmidth Airtech, a control system and plant automation from FLSmidth Automation, weighing and metering systems from FLSmidth Pfister, and a fully automated packing plant with GIROMAT® packers from FLSmidth Ventomatic.

"The new production line underlines FLSmidth's strong position in Pakistan. It will emphasise the value of a highly efficient modern cement plant with minimised environmental impact and our state of the art quality control system for cement. We look forward to cooperating with Power Cement and the Arif Habib Group, which is considered to be one of the leading groups in Pakistan," says Per Mejnert Kristensen, Group Executive Vice President, Cement Division.
