Since 2002 this Mexican cement plant has saved many thousands of dollars in fuel costs since installing this system. This Plattco triple ap valve assembly is a critical component as it provides an excellent seal so false air doesn’t enter the pre-Calciner. There are two of these Plattco assemblies installed on two pre-Calciners at this plant that have been operating awlessly since 2002. Sister plants have also installed Plattco double ap assemblies for identical feed systems.
