The new grinding unit is equipped with the Gebr. Pfeiffer MVR 6000 Vertical Roller Mill (VRM), featuring an integrated grinding and separation system, material handling infrastructure and dust collection systems. The technology is designed to improve grinding efficiency, operational reliability and energy efficiency in cement production.
The facility builds on UCC’s existing focus on energy efficiency and sustainable manufacturing. UCC operates a Waste Heat Recovery (WHR) system with a green power generation capacity of 31.50 MW, supporting energy efficiency across its operations. The new grinding technology complements these efforts by enabling optimised production processes and efficient energy use.
H. M. Bangur, Chairman, Shree Cement Limited, said, “The commissioning 3 MTPA facilities is an important milestone in Shree Cement’s global growth journey and strengthens our presence in the UAE. With this addition, our cement manufacturing capacity in the UAE has now reached to 7 MTPA from 4 MTPA, taking our overall capacity across to 76.3 MTPA. At Shree Cement, we have consistently focused on expanding our manufacturing footprint, investing in advanced technology and improving operational efficiency.”
Bangur further added, “As we continue to grow across markets, our priority remains to strengthen our operations, leverage technology and build a resilient business for the long term. I would also like to acknowledge the efforts of our teams and partners who have worked towards the successful commissioning of this facility.”
