This is the first 5,000 t/d line of which all equipment is Chinese-made. It was designed by Sinoma Int. (Nanjing) who also undertook technical support. The major equipment for pyro-system (pre-heater with pre-calciner, rotary kiln, grate cooler and burner) were all developed and supplied by Sinoma Int. (Nanjing).   The contract for pyro-system equipment supply was signed in December 2000 and the project was commenced in February 2001. Completed and commissioned in March 2002, the production line was put into production in June 2002. The construction time only took 13 months and the total investment for the project was RMB 256 million yuan. Its short completion time and low investment made a record in cement engineering. And the success of this project set off a boom for large-scale & low-Capex cement plants.   The project won Sinoma Int. the 11th Engineering Design Award and the 10th Engineering Design Award for Building Material Industry.
