Al Godek, AshGrove Cement, USA:

"1999 was a record year for cement production at AshGrove's Leamington plant and Insitec was a major contributor. Thanks to tighter control of particle size, AshGrove Cement was able to ensure quality at slightly lower fineness. This and the higher throughput most definitely contributed to our reduced production costs."

AshGrove Cement has since fitted an Insitec to every one of its finish mills.
 
 

Cement is a critical component and economic indicator of the construction industry and the cement production process is one of the most energy-intensive sectors within the world economy. Gain the maximum competitive advantage in a tough marketplace:

Measure fineness, estimate strength in real time
Make your final grade strength more consistent
Optimize your finish mill
Automate your grinding operation

Improve consistency, reduce overgrinding and operate efficiently to tighter specifications.
