New bucket elevator increases plant capacity in Oman

摘要

With the technical improvement of the rotary kiln at the Oman Cement Company (OCC) over recent years, the inadequate performance of the existing bucket elevator was initially recognized in 2016. The only economic solution was the installation of a new bucket elevator, which was already a challenge at the beginning of the construction as a result of the inadequate documentation of the Chinese plant manufacturer and the limited space in and around the preheater tower. Due to the positive experiences with the German supplier KoWey from Kamp-Lintfort, with whom the plant operator has already successfully completed 14 projects so far, the OCC once again decided to opt for a bucket elevator from this company belonging to the Heko Group.
