Xuan Thanh Cement Manufacturing's Nguyen Quang Trun with Konecranes Vietnam sales manager Huynh Thanh Thien

Xuan Thanh Cement, one of South East Asia's leading cement manufacturers, is deploying Konecranes CXT lifting equipment at its plant in Ha Nam province 100 km south of Hanoi.

Xuan Thanh recently announced plans to establish the largest cement plant in the world in the province, featuring the most energy-efficient equipment, state-of-the-art emission control and leading process control systems in an expanded plant with a 12,500 T per day production capacity.

Xuan Thanh has selected four Konecranes installation and maintenance cranes with capacities of 6 - 35 T.

The cranes - serving key production technology in installations as high as more than 45 m off the ground - lift tools and machinery to the top of plant, including grinders and silos, to help ensure uninterrupted production for Xuan Thanh in serving markets including roads, tunnels, ports and other industrial and commercial building and infrastructure.

CXT wire rope hoists are staple lifting devices used widely throughout the Asia Pacific and globally in maintenance tasks, production lines, engineering and processing plants and industrial warehouses and factories. Their strength, compact size, speed, reliability and safety make them indispensable in production facilities where time is money and space is limited.

Xuan Thanh has opted for Konecranes' TRUCONNECT remote monitoring technology which provides self-diagnosis and usage data that enables users to optimise maintenance activities and visualise maintenance and application compliance.

The value of the deal has not been disclosed.
