As early as 2005 Gebr. Pfeiffer SE had obtained an order for the supply of an MPS 5000 B for a capacity of 500 t/h which, in 2006, had been followed by an order for an MPS 4000 B for a capacity of 250 t/h. In December 2011, the general contractor China Electrical Equipment Imp & Exp Co., Ltd. (CEIEC) placed an repeat order for an MPS 5000 B vertical roller mill for raw material grinding. The grinding plant designed to achieve a capacity of 500 t/h will be set up in Najran Cement Company’s third cement production line, a 5000‑t/d facility, in Saudi Arabia. Delivery of the mill is scheduled for the 2nd half of 2012.
