Polysius constructs a 3,000 tpd cement kiln line in Brazil

Polysius has been contracted by CIA. de Cimento Itambè, Brazil, to build a new 3,000 tpd cement clinker production line at the Balsa Nova plant, near the city of Curitiba in southern Brazil. One important criterion for this plant is the greatest possible flexibility for the use of alternative fuels.
In the early 1970s, Polysius already put a kiln line into operation at the Balsa Nova plant. For the new line, Polysius is to supply the main components from the raw material grinding system to the petcoke grinding system.

The scope of supply includes a raw material grinding system with QUADROPOL® roller mill and a tangential blending silo. The kiln system consists of a DOPOL® '90 preheater with PREPOL®-CC-MSC precalciner, the POLRO® rotary kiln with POLFLAME®-VN clinkering zone burner and a POLYTRACK® clinker cooler.

The fuel processing section comprises a petcoke grinding system with air-swept ball mill and SEPOL® separator. Production startup of the plant is due to take place at the end of 2011.

Polysius AG, a member company of ThyssenKrupp with subsidiary firms on all 5 continents and more than 2,000 employees all around the world, is one of the leading engineering companies equipping the cement and minerals industries.

Polysius is a strong partner offering project elaboration, engineering and design, shipment, field assembly and commissioning, as well as comprehensive service activities, for complete production lines, individual products, plant conversions and upgrades.
