en.Wedoany.com Reported - Germany-based IKN GmbH has recently commissioned a clinker cooler with a daily capacity of 6,000 tonnes at the Kadapa plant of Bharathi Cement, a subsidiary of France's Vicat Group in India, replacing the plant's existing walking floor cooler. Commissioning specialist Dhuwarakesh Ragavan is assisting with the equipment start-up and fine-tuning work.

According to IKN, the new clinker cooling system will enhance the plant's performance across three dimensions: operational reliability, cooling efficiency, and support for sustainability performance. The replaced equipment belongs to the IKN pendulum cooler series, which features a zoned pneumatic design combined with the KIDS fixed inlet section, enabling uniform clinker bed distribution and highly efficient heat recovery.

Vicat Group is headquartered in France, and Bharathi Cement is its Indian subsidiary, with the Kadapa plant being one of the subsidiary's core production bases. The newly commissioned 6,000 t/d clinker cooler will be directly integrated into the existing production line. The IKN commissioning team is currently fine-tuning parameters such as air flow density and cooler speed to ensure stable operation of the equipment under various working conditions.

In the field of clinker cooling, IKN is headquartered in Germany and specializes in the development and manufacturing of pendulum cooling systems. The company stated that the new cooler reduces fuel consumption by improving heat recovery efficiency while lowering equipment maintenance frequency, thereby supporting the dual optimization of cement plant operating costs and carbon emissions. Following the completion of this technical upgrade at the Kadapa plant, the clinker cooling stage of this production line will achieve a switch from walking floor technology to pendulum technology, with cooling efficiency and equipment availability expected to improve.
