Saharan order for German company
Haver & Boecker, Oelde/Germany,has won a large order from Senegal.
Due to a great demand for cement in Senegal and its neighbouring countries, Ciments Du Sahel company, one of two cement companies in Senegal, has decided to expand its facilities by adding a second production line to its Kirène plant, located 65 kilometres southeast of Dakar. Also, by using the added capacity from this new expansion, the company wishes to enhance its international position in national and international markets. The existing kiln line is laid out for an annual capacity of 600,000 tonnes. Most recently an additional 8-spout HAVER Roto-PackerÒ with complete electrical system and installation equipment has been delivered for this existing kiln line.
The new kiln line, expected to go into operation in 2009, will allow a production capacity of 3600 tonnes of clinker per day. As part of the plant expansion, Haver & Boecker has received an order for five HAVER-ROTO-PACKERÒ systems, partly with automatic empty bag applicator, and one Big Bag filling station. And to attain the highest possible levels of quality assurance and production transparency, Les Ciments Du Sahel has opted to install check weighers with the belt conveyor system that are coupled with a HAVER DPS (Data Protocol System) statistical weight evaluation for providing an attestable weight guarantee.
Also included in the order is the HAVER CEDISS Control, a dispatch system that manages loading and unloading of trucks at the cement plant. In addition, Haver & Boecker’s daughter company IBAU HAMBURG is also involved with the task of expanding capacity with two large cement silos.
Ciments Du Sahel, like Haver & Boecker, is a private company with a sound strategy for the future and has the desire to work in a highly organised and efficient manner using up-to-date, high performance technology, and thus make a significant contribution to the environmental protection and economic development of this African country. Quality of equipment, and also for its own products, is the top priority for Ciments Du Sahel. Service at the customer’s site, with prompt delivery is at the forefront for this African cement company.
