FLSmidth’s Chinese highlights
FLSmidth has decades of experience in cement plant construction in the Chinese market. Its technology and engineering capabilities has enabled the Danish turnkey specialists to build strong relationships with many leading Chinese producers and equipment suppliers. Such opportunities have led to the recent cooperation between FLSmidth and CNBM International Engineering in the first of many projects the two companies hope to build together outside of China.
FLSmidth's long-term strategy of strengthening its presence in China has included tripling in-house capacity
at its manufacturing and office facilities in Qingdao, Shandong province
FLSmidth has a long and fruitful history with the Chinese cement industry. In 1906, it delivered two 120tpd lines to Tangshan Cement Co which were the first rotary kiln applications upgraded from shaft kilns in China. The dia 2.1m x 30m kiln, which used the most advanced technology at that time, marked a milestone for the Chinese cement industry, transforming the plant's small workshop output into an industrialised outfit.
