Germany: Loesche has won a contract to deliver a slag grinding plant for the Duisburg, North Rhine-Westphalia, site of industrial by-products management company Ferro Duo. Loesche says that the plant will have a capacity of ‘several hundred thousand tonnes per year’ and comprise a vertical roller mill with a dynamic Loesche LSKS classifier, rotary feeder, product filter, mill fan and electric heater. The supplier will serve as engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) management partner for the plant’s tendering, construction and installation. The plant will supply super-fine slag to help Ferro Duo customers to further reduce the clinker factors of cementitious materials produced using it.

Loesche says that it previously delivered a ‘similar project’ in Germany. It says that it won the sale thanks to its ‘excellent’ references for superfine slag grinding plants and for the technological possibilities offered by its vertical roller mill.
