Danish company 7451 FLSmidth has received an order worth approximately €40 million (DKK 300 million) from Indonesian cement producer PT Semen Padang for a cement production line with a capacity of 8,000tonnes/day. The plant is located in Indarung, just outside the city of Padang in West Sumatra, Indonesia.

The order comprises equipment for the main part of the production line, including a raw mill, coal mill, preheater, kiln, burner, clinker cooler and silo equipment as well as a complete control system for the entire plant.

This new line will be the sixth line at the plant site. PT Semen Padang is a well-known customer to FLSmidth who supplied four of the other five lines.

PT Semen Padang is part of Semen Indonesia Group, which today is Indonesia's largest cement producer with a total annual output of approximately 30 million tonnes of cement.

“FLSmidth has a long and strong relationship with PT Semen Padang and Semen Indonesia Group. FLSmidth's last major orders from Semen Indonesia Group comprised two production lines that were successfully commissioned in 2012. Most of the equipment at Semen Indonesia Group's cement plants in Indonesia was supplied by FLSmidth, starting in 1910 with the successful commissioning of Padang's first production line,” says Per Mejnert Kristensen, president of the Cement Division.

The order will be booked by the Cement Division and contribute beneficially to FLSmidth's earnings until the end of 2015.
