Gebr. PFEIFFER AG to supply another MPS Mill to ACC, India
01 May 2008


Gebr Pfeiffer AG and its Indian subsidiary Gebr Pfeiffer AG (INDIA) Pvt Ltd have been appointed by Mumbai-based ACC Ltd, which belongs to the Holcim group, to supply an MPS 5600 B vertical roller mill for its new Chanda works, which will be set up in Chandrapur / Maharashtra.
 
The raw mill with an installed drive capacity of 5600kW will be capable of producing 560tph of raw meal ground to a fineness of 1.5 per cent R 212 microns.
 
This recent order follows a contract won a few months ago for the supply of an identical mill to be set up at ACC’s Wadi works. The satisfactory performance of an MPS 5600 B operating for more than seven years at Ambuja Cement’s Maratha works, also belonging to the HOLCIM group, was certainly a key factor in ACC’s buying decision. ACC is operating 4 MPS vertical roller mills in India for raw material and coal grinding. The order for an MPS 5600 BC roller mill for grinding granulated blastfurnace slag is currently being processed.
