The foundation work on the new meca-clay plant of Schwenk Deutschland in Allmendingen, Germany, was completed in mid-April – four months ahead of schedule, according to thyssenkrupp Polysius. The equipment supplier attributes this to favourable winter weather and “outstanding teamwork with its partners”.
“Our innovative integrated plant and civil design approach has truly shined, delivering greater flexibility, reliable deadlines, and significant cost savings. As we move forward, infrastructure works will wrap up by the end of May, setting the stage for an early construction site mobilisation in June,” said thyssenkrupp Polysius.
“The development of our core equipment, including the cutting-edge activation bead mill, is progressing smoothly. Assembly kicks off in mid-June, thanks to our close collaboration with our suppliers,” the company added.
The meca-clay plant in Allmendingen is based on al all-electricity clay activation process jointly developed by thyssenkrupp Polysius and Schwenk Zement.
thyssenkrupp Polysius expects to hand over the plant in the spring of next year.
