MCL is a leading cement manufacturing company of India and is in process of expanding its cement production capacity. At present, the company has total production capacity of nearly 2,0 Mio. tonnes per year (tpy.) from three plants, all located in the south of India. The first plant commissioned in 1960, has a capacity of 0,40 Mio. tonnes per year and is located at R. R. Nagar, Tamilnadu State. The second plant at Jayanthipuram, Andrah Pradesh has a capacity of 0,80 Mio. tpy. The third cement plant has been recently commissioned  in 1997 with a production of also 0,80 Mio. tpy. All the three plants are dry process and are operating efficiently at more than the rated capacity with a low energy consumption.

The new slag grinding plant for which LOESCHE has the order will be located at Jayanthipuram. The unit will grind 0,5 Mio. tpy of blast furnace slag which will be mixed with cement from existing plant to produce portland blast furnace slag cement. The slag will be produced from Vizag Steel Plant located in the East Coast of the State Andrah Pradesh at a distance of nearly 400 km from Jayanthipuram.

Madras Cement are fully geared up to execute the project and have an ambitious target of commissioning the slag grinding plant by December 1999.

Gezhouba Cement, P.R. China is planning to set up their Line #5. In 1993 LOESCHE supplied the Raw Material Grinding Plant for Line #3 realized by an LM 35.4 for a capacity of 170 t/h@10% R; 0,08 mm. Due to the performance as well as the good relations between both companies Gezhouba Cement decided in favour of LOESCHE. To meet the customers budget LOESCHE will supply only the keyparts, a high local manufacturing portion will be executed by Gezhouba Cement where LOESCHE will only supply drawings as well as manufacturing assistance. The kiln for line #5 will be supplied by the TCD&RI (Tianjin Cement Desing& Research Institute), which was also consultant for this project. The start-up of the plant is scheduled to beginning of the year 2000. The delivery time for the import portion will be 11 month.
 

After Grasim Industries took over Dharani Cements they decided to go ahead with the former concept where the order was already placed with LOESCHE India.

 On 15th July 1998, Loesche GmbH received the order from Loma Negra C.I.A.S.A. to supply a raw meal grinding system  with an LM 63.4 for a capacity of 450 t/h. The system is part of a new furnace line which is being supplied by Krupp Polysius AG and is designed for production of 5.150 t clinker/day.

 The works is being constructed on a green field site in the Olavarria district of Buenos Aires province, Argentina. The project name "ALF 2000" contains both the initials of the owner Amalia Lacroze De Fortabat and the year in which production will start. 

 With this plant, Loma Negra C.I.A.S.A. is significantly expanding its successful cement division. 

 The LM 63.4, as the world's largest vertical roller mill, was selected on the basis of grinding tests with representative samples. The tests revealed a medium grindability of the raw material, and the wear factor was low, so that a service life of 21.000 hours for the grinding components could be guaranteed.

 Further data on the Loesche vertical roller mill: Capacity: 450 t/h, fineness of raw material: <= 15% R 90 µm and <= 1.5% R 200 µm, residual moisture max. 1%, at an input moisture of 3%, power consumption for mill, classifier, blower for hydraulic barrier: 20.6 Kwh/t, at 5.400 kW motor power for the mill and blower. The quantity of gas downstream from the mill is 1,050,000 m³/h at 85°C.

 The machine dimensioning and the plant design were established in the early stages of the bidding process. Thanks to coordinating
 time planning by Loma Negra in conjunction with an engineering order running since 15.05.1998, important details which ensure a
 smooth transition for the order when it comes into force (expected early September 98) have already been resolved. Detailed coordination meetings between Krupp Polysius AG and LOESCHE have also already taken place.
