New ETA Cooler for PT Semen Bosowa

The Chinese Sinoma International Engineering Co. Ltd are a state-owned design and research institute for the Chinese cement industry supplying engineering, equipment procurement and general contracting services to the Cement Industry in China and abroad.

In March 2013 Sinoma awarded Claudius Peters a contract for the delivery of an 7500 t/d capacity ETA Cooler, with roller crusher, for a new kiln line in Indonesia. The ETA Cooler is the latest generation of clinker cooler with improved cooler efficiency and low maintenance.

The new cooler, an ETA 1087/84S model, comes fully equipped with a static inlet (HE-Module) with 10 rows, 8 individual control lanes with 2 stage operation and a roller crusher RB 426-5 EM with 5 rollers in the middle stage.

It will be installed at the PT Semen Bosowa Maros plant in Ujung Pandang, South Sulawesi with start-up planned before September 2013. Currently the clinker capacity of the plant is 2.5 Mt/yr but with the new Kiln Line 2, the entire site will have a production capacity of 5.2Mt/yr.

PT Semen Bosowa is one of the leading cement manufacturers in eastern Indonesia. Nationally, Bosowa controls 6 percent of the market share and but with such a positive future outlook in the Indonesian cement industry, Bosowa plans to increase their market share up to 20%.
