Clariant Germany has purchased the first mobile Loesche grinding plant, completely integrated in seven containers, for the Balikesir facility in Turkey.
All grinding plant components from the open loop control to the feed bin, the crusher, the mill with classifier, the hot gas generator, the filter, the fan and the pneumatic product transport were placed in seven containers as a turnkey solution.
The German company approached Loesche GmbH, Düsseldorf for a vertical roller mill for grinding bentonite for its facility in Balikesir, Turkey. All components of the grinding system had to be mobile due to a future relocation planned for the facility.
Loesche’s solution was to integrate the entire grinding plant in seven ISO containers. All grinding plant components from the open loop control to the feed bin, the crusher, the mill with classifier, the hot gas generator, the filter, the fan and the pneumatic product transport were placed in containers as a turnkey solution. All electrical connections between the containers are pluggable and no foundations are required for its erection on solid ground.
The smallest Loesche roller mill, type LM 9.2 D designed for grinding industrial minerals, has a capacity of 1,8 t/h. The Balikesir facility grinds bentonite, which is ground to a fineness of 30% R 0,063. With a power transmission capacity of 45 kW, the facility meets all the customer's requirements.
“This was the first order of its kind for Loesche,” says project manager Matthias Authenrieth, “and we were able to successfully implement the customer's requirements.”
