Cement Importers (bagged & bulk)

Challenge

  • Highly competitive market with tight profit margins
  • Congested ports often leading to costly demurrage
  • Need for a diversified, market-adapted cement portfolio
  • Access to hard currency to import clinker, cement or SCM’s

Blendera Solution

  • Import CEM I 42.5 R or 52.5 in bulk or jumbo bags
  • Blend with local SCMs to produce CEM II/IV 42.5, CEM II/IV 32.5, or masonry cement (CEM II/IV 22.5)
  • Yield increase of $10–$15 per ton in coastal and higher in landlocked regions
  • Reduced hard currency outflow and working capital requirements
  • Compact, modular design allows for installation in warehouses

Cement Grinding Plants

Challenge

  • Increasing production capacity at minimal cost
  • Ensuring consistent cement quality
  • Is the moisture content of your SCM limiting your clinker substitution ratio?
  • Different grindability calls for different mills: Clinker typically requires ~35 kWh/t to reach target fineness, while limestone is ~15 kWh/t. That gap means the mill internals cannot be “one-size-fits-all.” Clinker needs larger media and lifting liners to maximize impact breakage; limestone benefits from smaller media and attrition-friendly liners to reach fine PSD efficiently.

Blendera Solution

  • Separate SCM grinding for better efficiency and better product quality
  • Blending station integrated into the existing plant
  • Customizable mill options: From 3 tph to 30 tph, both open and closed circuit
  • Integrated drying solutions for optimal SCM processing

Aggregate Industry – Industrial Minerals

Challenge: Stop Selling Limestone, Start Selling Calcium Carbonate

Most aggregate producers sell crushed limestone into the construction market at ~€5/t. But if your deposit is actually high-purity limestone (CaCO₃), you’re sitting on a far more valuable asset.

With the right micronising technology, limestone becomes precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) or ground calcium carbonate (GCC) — key ingredients in high-value industries such as:

  • Paints & Coatings
  • Plastics & Polymers
  • Agriculture (soil amendment, fertilizers)
  • Food & Pharma (where purity and particle size are critical)

Blendera Solution

Blendera delivers micronising grinding plants with advanced separators, capable of producing 5–10 µm fineness.

  • This allows you to move from bulk aggregates to specialty industrial minerals.
  • Instead of selling at €5/t, you can access markets paying €60+/t.
  • Modular design makes it possible to scale gradually, without excessive CAPEX.

High impact investment

One of our customers commented: ”As cement importers, we have successfully transitioned into industrial operators with a relatively small investment, enabling us to become cost leaders in our market.”
