UAE Cement Industry :
Dating back to the mid-1970s, the cement industry is one
of the oldest manufacturing industries in the UAE. The first factory, Al Ittihad
Cement Company of Ras a l-Khaimah, started commercial production in 1975.
This was followed by the construction of several other factories in Al Ain, Sharjah,
Dubai, Fujairah, Ajman and Umm al-Qaiwain. The total number of cement factories
throughout the country had reached nine by the end of 1998. Eight of these produce
Portland cement, and one factory in Ras al-Khaimah manufactures white cement. The
total capacity of the eight Portland cement factories is estimated at 9 million
tones.
These factories employ 2,999 workers, representing a total investment of approximately
Dh 1.8 billion. Ras al-Khaimah Company for White Cement and Construction Materials
is expanding its production capacity to 450,000 tones per year.
• The new idea for investment in cement industry
As
you know, the Clinker grinding plant is the last department of an ordinary cement
production plant in which the output of the cooler (Clinker) is fed to cement mill
with adding some gypsum for production of cement.
In this
plant the owner must feed the Clinker and gypsum to the line and therefore can get
Cement from the outlet of the line.
Clinker
is available in market from many cement factories because it is also cost effective
for cement factory to sell the extra Clinker separately.
The advantages
of investment on Clinker Grinding plants:
-
Lower rate of investment
-
Faster money back
-
The fewer the employees
-
The fewer the maintenance
-
The more the premium
-
And many other benefits
