thyssenkrupp has received another major order for the cement plant business of its Industrial Solutions business area. The value of the contract awarded by Société des Ciments de Sigus, part of Groupe Industriel des Ciments d’Algérie (GICA), is in the mid three-digit million euro range. The turnkey cement plant will have a production capacity of 6000 t of clinker per day and will be constructed in Sigus, in the Wilaya of Oum El Bouaghi, located south of Constantine, around 340 km east of Algiers. Start of operation is planned for early 2019. In 2013, thyssenkrupp already received an order for another 6000 t/d cement plant from GICA.

In order to meet the growing demand for cement and in line with import substitution, GICA (Groupe Industriel des Ciments d’Algérie) has launched several projects to increase its cement production capacity from 12 million t to 20 million t/a by 2019.

From raw material preparation to cement packaging and loading facilities, thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions will provide all key equipment, construction and supervision services including commissioning for the new production line.

The kiln system consists of a two-strand, 5-stage Dopol ASC preheating tower, a 3-pier rotary kiln and a Poly-track clinker cooler. The plant is completed by two clinker silos with a total capacity of 60 000 t, three 160 t/h ball mills, four cement silos with a capacity of up to 80 000 t and a packaging plant equipped with four 3000 bag-per-hour packaging lines.
