The widespread adoption of MVR vertical roller mills around the world is rapidly raising awareness in the cement industry about the many benefits of this advanced grinding technology. Eastern Province Cement Company (EPCC) has now joined the list of companies opting for this cutting-edge solution. EPCC will install two MVR 5000 R-4 vertical roller mills by Gebr. Pfeiffer at its new 10,000 tonnes-per-day production line in Khursaniyah, Saudi Arabia. These mills, are known for their efficient energy usage, high power density, smooth operation and low pressure drop. These advantages lead to improved operational reliability, reduced emissions and lower specific operating costs.
These will mark the first installations of MVR vertical roller mills in Saudi Arabia. Each mill, fitted with a modern SLS 4500 VR classifier, will process 550 tonnes per hour of cement raw material to a fineness of =10 per cent residue on 90 microns.
