Cement Conference & Silo Cleaning Collaboration

Our Technical Director Alex Bergus is often in demand overseas either as a guest speaker at industrial conferences or as an acoustic cleaning expert supervising an installation of our technology. His travels take him far and wide and recently he was in India. Here he is speaking at the Global Cement India Conference in Mumbai.

A mechanical engineering graduate with links to leading academic institutes and a vast amount of practical, industrial experience, Alex is a key figure in our R&D program with the cement industry a core focus for his attention.

Conferences are not just opportunities for marketing and potential sales, however. They also present a great platform for the meeting of minds, particularly of the collaborative kind. This photograph is a great example of just that.

Not forgetting the acoustic cleaner centre stage!

Mr Bakshi is one of the numerous Primasonics agents around the world currently working to promote the value of acoustic cleaning. Click here to read about our growing network.

The cement industry has figured strongly in our list of clients and cement plant cleaning is certainly one of the most challenging when it comes to material flow solutions. Our acoustic cleaners can be used for a wide range of applications in cement plants from bulk storage silos to bulk tankers, ductwork, calciners, id fans, static cyclones, preheaters and precipitators.

Cement Industry Needs Acoustic Cleaners

The cement industry is one of the foremost industries to use acoustic cleaning to deal with and, indeed, combat material build up problems.

From dealing with ratholing and bridging problems in silos to the necessary maintenance of id fans, filters and ESPs, acoustic cleaning has become established as one of the key components of efficient cement plant operations. Read more about cement plant cleaning and silo cleaning.

We have over fifteen years of experience dealing with cement plants around the world and regularly receive emails from delighted clients who have experienced significant improvement in their cement plant operations due to our acoustic cleaning technology. A good example is that of a cement plant client who had been suffering unscheduled shutdowns because of material build up on an ID fan. After the installation of one of our acoustic cleaners they couldn't wait to let us know that these unscheduled outages had ceased. Read more on our acoustic cleaning referrals page.

Our success within the cement industry has led to our being asked to share our expertise by attending  cement conferences and trade fairs around the world. As referred to in our last blog post, our Technical Director Mr. Alex Bergus recently conducted a seminar on acoustic cleaning in Indonesia. He then went on to attend the Cemtech Asia 2012 event - photographed below at the Primasonics International stand. 

Cement Plant Cleaning Success

Acoustic cleaning has been favoured by many industries for some years now as the preferred choice of material flow solution.  From power generation to petrochemical, pharmaceutical to pet foods, the spectrum of industrial plants in need of our services is a wide one. The most popular demand has perhaps come from the cement industry and so far 2012 sees that demand on the increase.

In the coming month our Technical Director Mr Alex Bergus will be travelling to various cement plants oversesas to supervise the commissioning of our Prima Whip™ equipment. This specially devised equipment offers a safe and fast solution for cleaning cement silos, bins and hoppers. With the option to fit a choice of whips and cutting edges, even the toughest of material build-up can be removed without damage to the silo, bin or hopper walls. This silo cleaning system eliminates the need for operators to enter the confines of the silo itself - an environment which can be potentially dangerous. 

Mobile and easily positioned, the Prima Whip™ is without question the cement plant operators' best friend!

Alex's itinerary will take him to the Philippines and Egypt and in between he will attend Cemtech Asia (17-20 June) in Jakarta, Indonesia  where he will present a technical paper on the theory and application of acoustic cleaning within cement plants (and power generation plants). 

So if you are involved in cement plant operations and need to find the best solution for cement silo cleaning etc then this year's Cemtech Asia provides a great opportunity. Visit our Primasonics International stand (Number 13) for the chance to meet Alex and have your technical questions answered by an acknowledged acoustic cleaning expert!

Cement Silo Cleaning South America

Silo cleaning and boiler cleaning are two of the most common and important issues that industrial plants have to deal with today. Proper material flow in silos and efficient boiler performance in industrial plant operations, however, are not without their problems which is where we come in!

We have provided acoustic cleaning systems for this type of application for many years now and in many countries around the world. Indeed, this year has seen an expansion of our sales and network agents into new territories .... in particular South America.

We now have agents in Chile and Brazil and have achieved sales to Mexico, Argentina and Columbia as well. What is interesting is the main type of operation where our acoustic cleaners have been installed in these South American countries ... cement and wood processing (silos and boilers). Again, proof that these two areas of industrial operations are key to success.

Long may we be able to contribute to that success with our innovative acoustic cleaners.
