The first VRMs for cement grinding in Saudi Arabia

Southern Province Cement Co. (SPCC) is building a new brownfield cement line in Bisha, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with a clinker production capacity of 5000 tpd. The complete plant delivery and execution has been contracted to the China National Building Materials Group Corporation (CNBM). SPCC decided to install and operate the first two vertical roller mills for cement grinding in the Kingdom. These two mills are both Loesche Type LM 56.3+3 with a rated capacity of a minimum of 200 tph.
SPCC will be ready for a changing market, requiring not only simple OPC cements but also various types of additive cements with a wide range of different product finenesses. For the grinding of cement raw material SPCC has also decided for a Loesche VRM LM 56.4.
Due to the modular design concept of Loesche´s VRMs, the major spare parts for the two cement mills are identical with those required for the new cement raw material mill at the Bisha site as well as for the existing mills at the Tahamah site, keeping the spare parts demand for SPCC to a minimum.
