In 2018 AUMUND Fördertechnik will supply to Uzbekistan no less than ten belt resp. chain bucket elevators with capacities from 21 t/h to 500 t/h, and centre distances between 16.6 and 120 m. The heavyweight of the delivery is the pan conveyor, with a centre distance of 148 m and a conveying capacity of 300 t/h for clinker. The clinker conveying system comprises two further pan conveyors with the same capacity but centre distances of 54 m and 65 m. There are also 19 silo discharge gates included in the package.
According to official sources, Uzbekistan would like to increase its cement production to 8.9 million tonnes by the year 2020. The new plant in Sherabad is a major factor in this equation. From 2019 the intention is that cement production will run at a capacity of 1.5 million tonnes of Portland Cement.
