Raw mill for Al Jouf
In February 2012, the Chengdu Design & Research Institute of Building Materials Industry Co. Ltd., belonging to the Chinese Sinoma group and acting as General Contractor for a new 5000-t/d cement production line, contracted for an MPS 5000 B vertical roller mill for raw material grinding. Although production line no. 1 was equipped with a competitor’s VRM, production line no. 2 of Al Jouf’s cement works (AJCC), Saudi Arabia, will feature a grinding plant supplied by Gebr. Pfeiffer. The MPS raw mill to be installed is designed for a capacity of 450 t/h. In addition to the supply of the core components of the grinding plant, Gebr. Pfeiffer will provide workshop drawings for mill components to be manufactured locally and supervise their manufacture in the Chinese workshops as well as the installation and the commissioning of the grinding plant. Delivery of the mill is slated for the 4th quarter of 2012.
