On September 1st, 1997, China Anhui Conch Cement Com-
pany Limited (“Conch Cement”) was exclusively initiated and
established by Anhui Conch Holdings Company Limited with
the cement assets of its subsidiaries the Ningguo Cement Plant
and the Baimashan Cement Plant.
The business scope of Conch Cement covers the manufacture
and sale of cement and clinker. Conch Cement has been the
number one cement and clinker manufacturer and seller in
China for 10 years, and is currently the largest in Asia.
By the end of 2006, Conch Cement possessed more than
50 branches and one associated company, with total assets of
22.3 billion RMB (approx 2 billion Euros). Furthermore, Conch
Cement had built up 17 clinker plants and 21 cement grinding
mills in 9 provinces and municipalities in eastern and southern
China. It has 36 clinker production lines with the capacity of
2,000 -10,000 t per day and a total capacity of 70,000,000 t.
Conch Cement also has three new dry-process clinker produc-
tion lines with a capacity of 10,000 t per day, featuring the most
advanced technology in the world cement industry.
Conch Cement possesses abundant and high-quality lime-
stone reserves in eastern and southern China, which are low in
alkalinity, high in CaCO3 and are good materials for manufac-
turing high-quality low-alkali cement. All Conch Cement pro-
duction lines use new dry processes, which are equipped with
advanced machinery and equipment, controlled automatically
throughout the process from quarry to shipyard, and certifi ed
and inspected according to ISO 9001.
In June, 2007, Conch Cement and Liebherr established a part-
nership, signing a strategic cooperation agreement that included
a contract for fi ve Liebherr R 984 C large-bucket crawler excava-
tors in Wuhu, where the Conch Cement head offi ce is located.
In order to improve working effi ciency and meet the demands
of its new cement production lines, Conch decided to purchase
additional equipment and fi nally chose the Liebherr R 984 C
hydraulic crawler excavators, with a bucket size of 7.7 m³.
One of Conch’s cement factories in Guangxi Fusui has a pro-
duction line that can produce 5,000 t of clinker per day, whose
cement output reached 2 million tons in 2007. It uses the reli-
able and effi cient R 984 C as the main loading tool at the lime-
stone mining site.
All the fi ve excavators are utilized for ripping stone layers and
loading limestone rubble into the trucks after blasting, with a
material density of 1.6-1.8 t/m³ and ambient temperature range
from -5 °C to 40 °C.
