Latest generation packing and storage for new grinding plant, Malaysia

Claudius Peters is to provide bulk and bagged cement storage, packing and dispatch facilities for a new grinding plant currently being built by CMS Clinker Sdh Bhd in the state of Sarawak, Malaysia.

The grinding station will store cement in two Claudius Peters Expansion Chamber silos, with their ‘first in, first out’ design providing guaranteed reclaim rates of over 98%.

The Claudius Peters PACPAL Roto Fill, with its latest generation integrated and independent weighing system, will act as the heart of the packing plant, delivering a rate of 3000 50kg bags per hour. The Roto Fill features advanced de-dusting technology, with dust diversion occurring directly at the filling spout.

The dispatch facility incorporates the Claudius Peters fully automated palletising system and the Claudius Peters PACPAL Big Bag Fill and flow control gate achieving a weighing accuracy to exacting OIML standards.

The facilities are expected to be commissioned in the second half of 2015 and from 2016 on, the grinding facility will be able to supply the growing Sarawak market for the next decade. Commenting on his company’s partnership in the development of the new plant Stephan Oehme Sales Director of Claudius Peters said:

“Our storage, packing and dispatch systems are the ideal technologies for this CMS state-of-the-art grinding plant. Projects like this are enabling us to set new industry benchmarks for cost and output efficiency.”

CMS Clinker Sarawak is a leading clinker manufacturer and trader and is wholly owned by CMS Cement Sdn Bhd, part of the Cahya Mata Sarawak Group. The new CMS grinding plant is the third grinding plant for the CMS Group
