CURVODUC™ – Curved belt conveyor
In Ferzikovo, in the Kalouga region countryside, 180 kilometres from Moscow, the "green" LafargeHolcim factory contrasts with its two other Russian sites. With a capacity of 2 million tonnes per year, this modern site has a priority which remains unusual in Russia: working for the protection of the environment.
In order to achieve this, RBL REI proposed its CURVODUC solution which avoids transfers by lorry from the quarry. Therefore, a conveyor ensures the transport of the limestone from the quarry to the cement works.
