AMECO Group’s CHO Blending Storage Solution Ensures 24/7/365 Reliability and Performance for Holcim USA

 

Customer’s Problem

Cement manufacturers like Holcim USA face significant challenges in maintaining operational efficiency while minimizing environmental impact. Dust emissions need to be controlled to comply with environmental regulations, and any equipment breakdowns or unplanned downtime can disrupt production, leading to delays and potential loss of market share.

To address these issues, Holcim USA sought a solution that could provide low operational expenses (OPEX) while ensuring continuous, reliable performance for the stacking and reclaiming of limestone.

 

The AMECO Solution

AMECO Group introduced Holcim USA to its Circular Blending System (CHO),one of our solutions designed specifically for the cement industry. The CHO is a fully automated, continuous Chevron stacking and reclaiming system that offers a unique combination of high homogenization and reliability.

Key Features of the AMECO CHO:

  • Continuous Chevron Stacking: The CHO stacks material in a ring-shaped pile using a fan-shaped sprinkling action, ensuring consistent blending and minimal dust emission.
  • Bridge Reclaimer: The system’s bridge reclaimer operates parallel to a radius line, efficiently reclaiming material at the natural angle of repose, minimizing energy consumption and maximizing reliability.
  • 99.9%+ Uptime: Built to withstand the rigorous demands of cement production, the CHO delivers exceptional uptime, reducing the risk of unplanned downtime and ensuring continuous operation.

 

Results and Benefits

By implementing AMECO’s CHO, Holcim USA not only enhanced its operational efficiency but also improved its environmental compliance. The system’s design minimized dust emissions, contributing to a safer working environment and adherence to regulatory standards. Moreover, the high reliability of the CHO reduced the frequency of equipment failures and production delays, enabling Holcim USA to maintain its competitive edge in the market.
