Phoenix Cement Krogbeumker’s cement plant is located in Beckum, Germany, just a few kilometres from the thyssenkrupp polysius headquarters, ensuring the two companies have always had a close cooperation. Therefore, when the time came to test out the newest polytrack clinker cooler design by thyssenkrupp, it was only natural to carry out the first installation at the Phoenix works.
