Company Announcement to the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority
No. 31-2008, 27 June 2008
FLSmidth has signed a contract worth 79.3m euros (DKK 591m) for a
complete cement production line to be built on an existing cement
plant in Verhnebakanskiy near the port city of Novorossiysk east of
the Crimean peninsular. The contract was signed with JSC
Verhnebakanskiy Cement Plant owned by the investment company Inteko.
The new production line will have a capacity of 6,200 tonnes per day,
making it the largest one in Russia in terms of capacity. The line
will feature one of the largest ATOX mills FLSmidth has supplied to
date. The ATOX of this size is the second of its kind to be supplied
to a Russian plant.
The contract comprises all machinery from crushing to packaging and
includes an EV crusher, a raw material homogenising store, an ATOX
raw mill, a CF silo, a complete ILC 2-support kiln with one string-5
stage preheater, a SF Cross-Bar cooler, two UMS cement mills and
packaging plant with palletising unit.
The order also includes an electrical package with state-of-the-art
laboratory and control systems including a RoboLab. As one of the
first cement production lines in Russia, the line is also being
prepared for a possible later conversion to alternative fuels.
A part of the equipment will be manufactured in Russia by JSC
Verhnebakanskiy Cement Plant based on technical specifications from
FLSmidth."FLSmidth is honoured to have signed this contract for Russia's
largest cement production line, which we have won against keen
competition. We are glad to see that Russian cement manufacturers
choose FLSmidth's cutting edge technology and are preparing for the
use of alternative fuels," Group CEO Jørgen Huno Rasmussen comments.
The order will contribute beneficially to FLSmidth's earnings until
the equipment has been shipped during 2010.
