Vietnam’s Hoang Long Group (HLG) officially inaugurated the new clinker production line at the Hoang Long Hoa Binh Cement Plant with a capacity of 7200 tpd. The total investment for the plant with approximately 2.3 Mta cement capacity has been nearly VND 5000 bn. The clinker line has a 6-stage preheater with 7-layer heat exchange tower system, which enhances heat exchange efficiency during the firing process, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing energy consumption. Additionally, the integrated Hoa Binh cement plant also comprises vertical mills for raw material and cement grinding.
