Claudius Peters ETA Cooler at Českomoravský Cement Mokra Plant

Cement producers worldwide face pressures to reduce costs, while also improving the environmental sustainability of operations. Balancing the two is no easy task. This is where the latest generation of ETA cooler from Claudius Peters comes into play.
As a cement producer today, you face an array of challenges to the day- to-day running of your plant and the success of your business. In many markets, overcapacity drives fierce competition: cost control is therefore always at the top of your priority list. But this must never come at the expense of quality or the safety of your equipment nor your workers. At the operational level, this is focusing attention and investment on improving the overall efficiency and reliability of equipment.
This was recognised back in 2015 by McKinsey, which wrote that there were “two prevailing models [of business success in the cement industry] cost leadership and premium selling”.1 The cost leadership model - as the name implies - is based on harnessing the lowest possible cost base to maximise value, including “operational excellence [where] the largest areas for cost improvement are usually thermal and electrical energy consumption, labour, maintenance and logistics.” Even within the premium selling model, however, where the focus is more on building trusted brands to leverage premium prices, “cement companies must make cost awareness a fundamental part of their business”
The name Claudius Peters has been synonymous with the global cement and gypsum industry for over a century. Founded in 1906, the eponymous company became part-owned by the British Babcock organization in the 1950’s and was owned by them outright from the 1970’s until being acquired by Langley Holdings PLC (www.langleyholding.com) in 2002.
Today the Claudius Peters group also serves the alumina and global steel industries. Claudius Peters has subsidiaries in the United States, Brazil, UK, France, Italy, Spain, Romania, India, Singapore and China and employs over 580 people worldwide.
