A new grinding plant at the Wotan cement works

The new grinding plant in the Wotan cement works was designed to meet very strict requirements for the cement quality and economic efficiency. One particular challenge lay in being able to react flexibly to the production demands for different types of cement. The plant had to be integrated into the shape of the terrain between the existing clinker transport system and the existing clinker and cement storage systems. A clearly laid out arrangement of the plant components and outstanding accessibility to all elements was achieved in spite of the very compact design. The very high demands made on environmental protection were successfully met.
