CONTRIBUTING TO COUNTRY´S DEVELOPMENT AND MODERNISATION
The client.
ACICO Industries is operating a cement grinding unit at Al Shuaiba Industrial area and is one of the fastest-growing companies based in Kuwait.
Their products meet the necessities and requirements of modern life of building materials.
ACICO activities is also beyond the Kuwaiti borders to the neighboring GCC markets. Through its production plants in Kuwait, UAE, KSA and Qatar, ACICO makes building units from reinforced and unreinforced aerated concrete with its special specifications such as light weight, thermal insulation, fire resistance, and environmental safety.
The company utilizes the basic and most advanced materials like ground sand, cement and limestone to make its products.
The challenge.
As part of the self-production strategy and to meet such internal cement demand through the needs of their sister companies, ACICO Cement contracted two state of the art ball mill grinding units which were entirely supplied by CEMENGAL.
The contracts were signed in 2014 and 2018 and shaped as a turnkey supply basis where CEMENGAL was acting as the main supplier of complete engineering, M&E equipment, steel manufacturing and plant supervision for construction and commissioning.
Before contract´s signature, ACICO Cement and CEMENGAL agreed the vendors to be included in the project, where strong requirements for fast implementation, together with the highest quality equipment from the most reputed manufacturers in Europe were a must to grant the contract to CEMENGAL.
The solution.
The scope of supply started at the raw material storage area where several handling equipment were installed for the reception and transfer of clinker, gypsum and slag for special cementitious products.
This handling infrastructure account the necessary surface reception followed by feeding equipment together with several belts conveying units and bucket elevators to bring the materials in to the feeding / proportioning workshop prior to the mill circuit.
After the raw material, the main components of the grinding plant include TWO ball mill fully engineered by CEMENGAL of about 5,200 kws installed power for 1,000,000 tons per year (referenced to standard cements) with feed bins, mill circuit, electrical & automation supplies and auxiliary components.
On parallel and through other side contracts, ACICO implemented the cement storage silos that were fully equipped with bulk dispatching devices.
After these silos, the final cement product was transferred to the bagging expedition facilities which included modern packers and automatic palletisers.
Performance
data:
2 units of two-compartment ball mills (D4,6m x L17.0m) fully engineered by CEMENGAL.
Other products like high strength cements with high Blaines up to 5,000 cm2/gr and different mix recipes were also planned for prefab concrete applications.
Each mill is dedusted by a 60,000 m3/h process bag filter and equipped with a high efficiency XP4i-130 separator, that includes rotor, process fan and dust precipitation cyclon all fitted in the same machine.
Other equipment: SCHENCK feeding system, ABB main motors, BOLDROCCHI process filters and MAGOTTEAUX mill internals.
The whole plant meets the European normative of environmental regulations to keep emissions under 10 mgr/Nm3 at the main filter outlets.
