Cement's successful separator upgrade at Kakanj Cement
Since 2019, the new cement classifier at Kakanj Cement, a company of HeidelbergCement Group located in the heart of Bosnia and Herzegovina, has been in successful operation.
The Austrian-based company CEMTEC was responsible for replacing the 2nd generation separator with a CTC-110 separator of the latest generation, including classifier circuit equipment such as a process fan, cyclones, feed transport, and discharge equipment.
The plant was specifically designed to properly install the new equipment while maintaining as much of the already existing yet functional equipment as possible. As a result of adequate plant engineering, the shutdown time for the disassembly and new erection decreased significantly.
Due to this plant modernization, Kakanj Cement strengthened its position as an efficient producer of top-quality cement, having brought considerable benefits to the customers ever since.
