Ecocem Benelux inaugurates new 5000t export silo at Moerdijk plant

19 June 2019

Netherlands: Ecocem Benelux has inaugurated a new 5000t export silo at its Moerdijk ground granulated blastfurnace slag (GGBS) plant. The new silo has been built at the waterfront in Moerdijk and rests on 65 piles sunk to a depth of up to 50m. The system operates via a screw extractor that conveys the GGBS to the centre of the bulk silo, where screws and a bucket elevator carry it to the new 150m³ day-silo. Both trucks and ships can be directly loaded from the silo: trucks on the weighing bridge situated under the silo and ships via a pneumatic transport installation with a maximum capacity of 250t/hr.

Ecocem Benelux is a subsidiary of Ireland’s Ecocem Materials. Ecocem Benelux supplies GGBS in bulk to the Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg (Benelux) market for both concrete and mortars. The facility also exports to the Swedish market. Since opening in 2002 the plant has doubled its production capacity to 0.65Mt/yr.
