Flying Cement Co awards Loesche VRM contract for Mangowal

Flying Cement Co of Pakistan has placed an order for the delivery of a further vertical roller mill (VRM) with Germany-based mill specialist Loesche.

The VRM will be installed as part of a 7000tpd cement production line under construction in Mangowal, Pakistan. It will grind 600tph of raw materials.

The scope of supply also includes a Hurriclon system from ATEC, a member of the Loesche Group, for separating finished material from the gas flow exiting the mill. Compared to conventional cyclone separators, the patented Hurriclon reduces pressure loss by a minimum of 30 per cent. This results in much lower power demand for the mill fan. The very compact construction of the Hurriclon also reduces the space requirement for the equipment.

Commissioning is expected to take place at the end of 2018.
