FLSmidth to deliver cement production line to Power Cement in Pakistan

FLSmidth has been awarded an order from Power Cement, part of the Arif Habib Group in Pakistan, for engineering, procurement and supply of equipment for a complete state-of-the-art cement production line with the latest environmental pollution control systems and technology for the highest levels of energy efficiency and maintainability.

The order for the 7,700tonnes/day line, worth more than €90million, comprises two projects: clinker production and cement production and dispatch.

The new production line will expand the two existing lines located in Nooriabad north-east of Karachi, Pakistan.

The order includes a complete range of equipment from crushing to packing and cement loading. 7451 FLSmidth will also supply equipment from the company's own product brands, such as planetary gear units from 7451 FLSmidth MAAG Gear; fabric filters from 7451 FLSmidth Airtech; a control system and plant automation from 7451 FLSmidth Automation; weighing and metering systems from 7451 FLSmidth Pfister, and a fully automated packing plant with GIROMAT packers from 7451 FLSmidth Ventomatic.

“The new production line underlines 7451 FLSmidth's strong position in Pakistan. It will emphasise the value of a highly efficient modern cement plant with minimised environmental impact and our state-of-the-art quality control system for cement,” says Per Mejnert Kristensen, Group Executive Vice President, Cement Division.
“We look forward to cooperating with Power Cement and the Arif Habib Group, which is considered to be one of the leading groups in Pakistan.”

The order will be fully executed by the end of 2018.
