ACC ENHANCES CAPACITY BY25% ACC, part of the Switzerland based Holcim Group, has achieved production stabilisation at th.e world's largest kiln at its Wadi plant, nearly five months after it was commissioned. The world's second largest kiln with a capacity of 11,500 tonnes is located at Holcim Group's cement plant in St Ge– nevieve in the US. The Wadi kiln with a capac– ity of 12,500 tonnes a day will produce clinker for its two sat– ellite grinding units at Thon– debhavi, near Bangaluru, and Kudithini , near.Bellary. The 1.6 mtpa grinding unit at Thondebhavi will produce fly ash based Portland Pozzolana ce– ment while the Kudithini plant will use the slag generated primarily by JSW Steel for producing 1.1 mtpa Portland slag cement. The company has made a total investment of Rs 1,634 crore in the three projects. With the completion of expansion at Wadi and Chanda in Maharashtra, ACC's annual production capacity has in– creased by 25 per cent to 30 million tonnes (mt) from 24 mt logged last year. The company recently installed a new 7,000- tonne-a-day clinkering line in Chanda. Mr Anoop Saxena, Presi– dent, ACC, Wadi Cluster, said the Wadi plant, which is the largest ACC unit, will contribute about Rs 10,000 crore over the next 20 years to the Karnataka exchequer by way of taxes and levies. "The Wadi kiln has already exceeded its rated. capacity to produce 13,189 tonnes of clinker on February 8 and further bettered its own record by registering an output of 13,300 tonnes on June 30," he added. 5
