Global Cement speaks to BIGBOSS Cement’s Ishmael Ordonez about the company’s background, its unusual production process and local market conditions, with a focus on its recently-commissioned Gebr. Pfeiffer ready2grind modular grinding system.

1 Introduction Two mill systems are employed for most coal grinding applications in the cement industry. These are, on the one hand, vertical roller mills (VRM) that have achieved a share of almost 90% and, on the other hand, ball mills whose share decreased to just over 10%. Gebr. Pfeiffer SE supplies stand-alone MPS coal grinding mills as well as complete coal grinding-drying systems. Both mill and grinding system can be operated under pressure or suction as well as under air or inert gas atmosphere. System configurations cover grinding plants with temporary storage of the pulverized coal in silos (for cement plants, or in blast-furnaces for steel plants, etc.) and installations with direct injection into the combustion system (for power generating plants). For over 40 years, the MPS mills for power stations have been manufactured under license of Hitachi Power Europe GmbH (formerly Babcock Borsig AG), headquartered in Oberhausen, Germany. .

The successful partnership between AUMUND France and AUMUND China has resulted in large orders for AUMUND in Algeria for two new cement plants at Zahana and Bechar. Decades of customer support, in particular strong after-sales service by AUMUND France in Algeria, as well as the close relationship of AUMUND China to the Sinoma Group, have culminated in this achievement. The two orders together comprise 26 Belt and Chain Bucket Elevators, two Bucket Apron Conveyors, ten Pan Conveyors and ten Drag Chain Conveyors.The Société des Ciments de Zahana (SCIZ) plant, which has a capacity of 4,500 tpd, is near Oran, around 450 km from the capital Algiers. Here three Chain Bucket Elevators with centre distances ranging from 22.5 to 34.9 m, and capacities from 50 to 220 tph, will be used to convey cement and clinker. Eleven Belt Bucket Elevators (cc 22.5 -116.1 m) will convey raw meal, cement and clinker with capacities between 190 and 680 tph.
