First Loesche mills in TRCL were commissioned at Alathiyur , Unit-1 in 1997.
at Alathiyur, Unit-2.
Outstanding performance of all the Loesche mills at Alathiyur plant and efficient after
sales services opened a gateway for Loesche for future projects of TRCL.
Subsequently TRCL decided to enhance the kiln capacity and maximum usage of
petoke for kiln/calciner firing. This necessitated extra output from raw mills and coal
mills at reduced product residue.

Summary
Both the raw mills with classifier equipped with vortex rectifier are in smooth
operation and given tremendous advantage.
Both the coal mills upgraded with LSKS classifier are grinding successfully
100% petcoke at 1.5-2% residue on 90 micron.
Performance of LM 56.2+2 C is considered as benchmark in the group.
TRCL is satisfied with overall performance of all the Loesche mills at Alathiyur.
Due to significant energy saving in grinding section, TRCL achieved 63-64
kWh/t in PPC for complete plant, which is benchmark in the industry.
Upgrading LM 56.2+2 C with new LSVS classifier is under discussion.

Summary
In 2000, first Loesche mill LM 46.2+2 CS was commissioned for slag grinding.
Later TRCL started producing OPC and PPC from this mill.
Looking into encouraging results of classifier upgradation at Alathiyur, the
cement mill LM 46.2+2 CS at Jayanthipuram was upgraded with LSKS
classifier.
Later in 2008, one raw mill LM 46.4 and one coal mill LM28.2D were
commissioned in Jayanthipuram Unit-2.
TRCL is satisfied with overall performance of all the Loesche mills at
Jayanthipuram.
Upgrading LM 46.2+2 CS with new LSVS classifier is under discussion.
