Company Announcement no. 26-2007, 7 November 2007
FLSmidth has signed a contract to supply a complete energy and
environmentally optimised greenfield cement plant in Russia. Valued
at slightly more than 950m Danish kroner (approximately 125m euro),
the contract has been signed with LLC "Cement", a new cement producer
in the Russian market.
The plant will have a capacity of 5000 tonnes per day, corresponding
to approximately 1.8m tonnes per year, and is to be built near the
town of Slantsy, about 200 km west of St. Petersburg.
The contract includes two EV crushers, FLSmidth MVT raw material
stores, an ATOX raw mill, two CF silos, a complete ILC 3-support kiln
including a 4-stage preheater, an SF Cross-Bar cooler, two UMS cement
mills complete with FLSmidth MAAG gears as well as FLSmidth
Ventomatic packing equipment.
In addition FLSmidth Airtech is to supply fabric filters and FLSmidth
Automation a complete QCX/Robolab quality control system and an ECS
process control system. The contract also includes a complete
electrical equipment package. Transport of the equipment to the plant
site and training of the staff are also part of the contract.
The equipment to be installed at the plant is based on FLSmidth's
cutting-edge technology and is optimised for environmental
protection. The plant will therefore meet not only Russian but also
European environmental standards. Besides, the plant is
environmentally and energy-optimised for the raw materials and fuel
types to be used in production.
LLC "Cement" is a member of the LSR Group, one of Russia's leading
real estate companies and suppliers of building materials."The order confirms our strategy for the Russian market. The Russian
customers wish to secure the future of their plants by using modern
cutting-edge technology and environmentally optimised solutions,
which makes us an obvious partner. Our St. Petersburg and Moscow
offices provide a strong basis for maintaining our strategy and
continuing to grow in the expanding Russian market," Group CEO Jørgen
Huno Rasmussen comments.
The order will contribute beneficially to FLSmidth's earnings until
the plant is commissioned in mid 2010.
