Upgrade experts

Customer Services has a separate Projects Department dedicated to and specialising in minor upgrades, which can help you overcome challenges such as lack of space, production stoppages, old and outdated equipment, new emissions requirements and other issues. Our Projects Department brings together cement industry specialists with expertise in process engineering, operations, alternative fuels and more.

Their experience and know-how enables our project specialists to assess situations quickly and accurately, provide prompt quotations and follow through to project completion. Each upgrade project is unique and important parameters – including fuel costs, power costs, acceptable down-time and budget restraints – are inevitably different. Therefore, our project specialists are supported by FLSmidth’s global organization and, whenever necessary, can draw upon assistance from colleagues at our project centres in Europe and USA.

Ultimately, our upgrade services are designed to achieve the best possible integration of all your production resources – to help you achieve the greatest return on investment and lower the total cost of operation. Moreover, our experience shows that the financial return on upgrade projects is often extremely attractive, with pay-back times amounting from six months to one year.
