Malvern Instruments delivers 8 on-line and
at-line particle size analyzers for Holcim cement facilities in
Belgium and France
Holcim France Benelux1 has entered into an agreement
with Malvern Instruments for the supply of eight Malvern Insitec
particle size analyzers over the next six months. The company will
install two Insitec at-line systems at its facilities in Belgium
and six Insitec on-line systems at production plants in France.
Insitec particle size analyzers are rugged industrial systems that
use laser diffraction technology for particle size measurement in
industrial processes. They are designed to handle the high flowrates
and abrasive material encountered in the cement industry. Insitec
systems can be installed on-line, or at-line, with the facility
to easily upgrade to full on-line capabilities if and when required.
Welcoming the news, Paul Walker, managing director of Malvern Instruments
said, "We are delighted that Holcim France Benelux is adopting
Insitec technology both for on-line and at-line applications. We
look forward to continuing our work with the group. This decision
is a testament to the success of Malvern's fully integrated, industrially
robust solution for particle size analysis within the cement industry.
It also reflects the continuing growth in sales that Insitec is
currently enjoying, which we believe results from Insitec's proven
industrial relevance, the customer support that we offer, and more
generally, an increasing appreciation of the benefits that on-line
analysis can generate."
On-line and at-line particle size analysis typically delivers substantial
economic gains, in the form of reduced waste and energy consumption,
and in addition, allows product quality to be significantly enhanced.
It is increasingly becoming the norm within the cement industry.
1 Holcim France Benelux belongs to the
Holcim Group, one of the world's leading producers of cement, aggregates,
concrete and construction-related services.
