New Grinding Plant Tuban : Production capacity Semen Indonesia (SMIG) increasingly overtaken, especially after the operation of the vertical mill (OKMill ) in the Tuban plant. Although only a relatively small capacity of 1.5 million tons per year, but the presence of this new grinding plant reinforces the position of SMIG as a company with the highest capacity and efficiency.readmore...

" Currently Tuban plant capacity has reached 14 million tons per year. If plus Gresik capacity to 15 million tonnes, " said Director of Production Suparni, when giving a speech at the opening Semen Indonesia Fair, 2013, at Graha Sandiya, some time ago (27/11).

Not only that, added Suparni, Tuban plant is the only plant that has a level of highest efficiency. Even special OK Mill (new grinding plant) electricity consumption per tonne of cement is only an average of 24 kWh. Compare the energy consumption of existing plant another in numbers ranging from 34 KWh. " This is what makes us highly competitive compared to similar mills, " he said.

Overview New Grinding Plant

Since last October, Tuban plant source of a new production line has a vertical mill operation. " The capacity of the new plant new grinding we operate at 1.5 million tonnes per year, " said Senior Project Officer PPKPT Improvement Bambang Tridoso O, production after a coordination meeting on Friday (13/12 ).

In terms of efficiency, said Bambang, equipment made ??by FLS Smidth, Denmark, it has the lowest level of energy consumption. " Per-ton cement requires only electrical energy by an average of 24 kWh, " he said. Is among the lowest consumption, especially when compared with other grinding plant requires an average 34 KWh.

In terms of capacity rate, the milling unit development process takes approximately one year is also encouraging. " The average production reaches 270-290 TPH for PPC, and 250 TPH for PPC, with bline between 350-360, " he added. If averaged, then there is an extra day more than 6,000 tonnes (assuming operating 22 hours per day , with a minimum rate of 270 TPH).

Related new grinding plant, general manager of cement production Eko Rudi Nurcahyanto, said that the operation of the vertical mill will automatically increase the installed capacity of the company. " This is both in response to the company's cement demand is likely to increase, " said Eko on one occasion.

Construction of the vertical mill, he added, also to overcome the flood of slag in Tuban factory production. Especially after some time earlier, P2KPT successfully running capacity upgrades (additional capacity) in Tuban Kiln 1 and 2, which was originally a capacity of 7,800 tons (Tuban 1) and 8,200 tons (Tuban 2) per day to 9,000 tons - per - day .

Moreover, added the number one in the Department of Production Cement, the cement manufacturing process in Tuban plant is very efficient in terms of consumption of material (clinker). " The quality of our clinker is very good, so to make the appropriate standard cement products require only about 70 percent slag, " he said. Excess slag was then going on the new vertical mill consumption .
