Cement Ożarów is a CRH company based in central Poland that produces cement, aggregates, and ready-mix concrete. The company’s goal is to provide quality building materials that meet the needs of the construction industry. Cement Ożarów is committed to reducing its environmental impact by reducing carbon dioxide emissions, minimizing the use of natural resources, and increasing its use of alternative fuels.
Cement Ożarów needed a high-efficiency metal removal system for its refuse derived fuel (RDF) line. The system had to have a high conveying capacity, but it also had to fit into a limited space. The company only had a 4-week shutdown window, which added to the challenges. Additionally, the lifting height had to be adjustable, and the system had to be easy to maintain, with the complete detector being easily removable and transportable to the maintenance area. These challenges required a unique solution.
To meet Cement Ożarów's requirements, DIS/CREADIS designed and implemented a high-capacity electro-magnetic separator. The team selected a modular steel structure that could be quickly assembled and focused on extensive PM. The design included new access doors and an extended steel structure for equipment removal, allowing for easy maintenance. The team also added a local control cabinet that was preassembled and re-used the existing structure to keep the CAPEX (capital expenditures) low.
The new metal removal system resulted in a stable calciner and kiln burning process, which reduced equipment failure, while the system's easy maintenance allowed for quick and efficient repairs, reducing downtime. The low CAPEX meant that Cement Ożarów could remain cost-effective, and the increased safety of the system was an added benefit.
DIS/CREADIS provided Cement Ożarów with a unique and customized solution to meet its specific requirements. The team’s extensive PM focus and use of a modular steel structure allowed for quick and efficient assembly, reducing downtime, and saving money. DIS/CREADIS’s focus on safety and ease of maintenance was also a critical factor in the successful implementation of the metal removal system. Overall, DIS/CREADIS’s expertise in designing and implementing customized solutions that meet the client’s specific needs made them the right choice for Cement Ożarów’s metal removal system.
