Cement and Minerals

Delivering sustainable solutions for the most demanding environments

The cement and minerals sectors present a particularly challenging environment for plant equipment, and Greenbank has a proven track record of developing bespoke products and services designed to withstand the most challenging conditions.

With particular expertise in the design, manufacture, installation and maintenance of bulk handling and conveying systems for cement plants and similar mineral processing facilities, we use the latest Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Discrete Element Modelling (DEM) methods to develop effective solutions aimed at improving efficiency and reducing costs.

Our extensive range of wear protection systems, including basalt and alumina-lined and unlined piping, chutes, fabricated and lined bunkers and hoppers are widely used in plants across the globe and are designed for minimum maintenance and extended operational effectiveness. At the same time, our tried-and-tested products and services are helping our clients meet increasingly stringent environmental legislation.

From a simple piece of pipework to bespoke dust suppression and fuel delivery systems, Greenbank can deliver comprehensive solutions for plants of all sizes, handling all types of minerals, including sand, cement and lime.
