CYCNA (Cruz Azul group) commissioned a Loesche cement grinding plant in Tepezalá, Mexico, last year, and this summer two more Loesche coal grinding plants for petcoke grinding will be installed at the Lagunas and Hidalgo cement plants.

The Loesche LM46.2+2 CS cement mill was commissioned in August 2018 at the Tepezalá cement plant and is guaranteed to grind at a capacity of 110tph but has been operating at 140tph.

This has been followed by the order of two Loesche LM41.4D petcoke mill for the Cruz Azul Hidalgo plant and the Lagunas plant in Oaxaca province. Cruz Azul is establishing new production lines at both of these plants. The Lagunas mill started operation in July 2019.

The Hidalgo mill has a capacity of 50-60tph and is scheduled to start operation in December 2019. This plant is located 2300m above sea level and requires special selection of aggregates and motors.
