John Koorn, Laidig Systems, Inc.,
reveals how St Marys Cement
was able to improve the
efficiency of its cement handling
process by using a new fluidised
screw reclaiming system.
O
ne of the challenges of storing
cement in large quantities
is efficient handling of those
materials out of the storage
structure. When St Marys Cement
evaluated options for their new storage
projects, Laidig Systems, Inc. was able
to provide a solution.
St Marys Cement is a leading
manufacturer and supplier of
cement in the Great Lakes region
of the United States and Canada.
Headquartered in Toronto, Canada,
St Marys is also a significant producer
of concrete and aggregates to various
markets in the region. The company is
part of the North American operations of
international building materials supplier,
Votorantim Cimentos, based in Brazil.
For more than 100 years, St Marys has
been contributing to new construction,
modernisation and infrastructure
improvements around the Great Lakes.
