KHD to install 3-string preheater at Shree Cement

KHD and Shree cement have a long history of bringing innovation to the Indian cement industry. Shree Cement has implemented 11 KHD high-efficiency kiln lines and many grinding stations, including 10 KHD roller presses.

Recently Shree Cement awarded KHD with new projects for three more kiln lines, each with a capacity of 6,000 tpd.

The first project is for line two at Shree’s Raipur site.

The second new line will be built in Karnataka using a 3-string preheater and the below KHD core equipment:

3-String, 6-stage Preheater, PRZ 9575
3-Pier Rotary Kiln Ø 5.4/5.0m x 75m long.
PYROJET® Burner
PYROSTEP® Clinker Cooler, PSC 3-154.16T
The project commencement date was September 02, 2016. The third project (location to be announced) will also be built using the above equipment.

With this flexible configuration, KHD will again help Shree Cement get more out of their plants.
