In addition to the replacement of the gearbox, the rotary kiln also underwent a planned overhaul. This included the clinker conveyors, the sludge line, the refrigerator, the heat exchanger, and other equipment. Total investments amounted to more than US$1.5 million. Due to these measures, Ahangarancement will continue to produce high-quality products throughout the construction season, operating at its maximum production capacity of 2 million tpy of cement.
The equipment of was installed under the supervision of a supervisor and the supplier guaranteed the reliability of the installation. The new gearbox is also easy to maintain, with a compact size and high level of security.
Ahangarancement regularly holds activities to improve operational efficiency. Since 2006, the plant has reduced fuel and electricity consumption by 20%, while labour productivity has increased 2.5 times. Modernisation of the existing production goes along with the active construction of the new plant, which will begin production in 2020.
