Fives Advances Sustainable Low-Clinker Cement Production with Innovative Technologies and Case Studies in North America

Fives Showcases Advanced Technologies and Case Studies to Promote Sustainable Low-Clinker Cement Production in North America In a recent webinar, Fives highlighted its innovative solutions and real-world applications that enable cement manufacturers to maintain high productivity levels while significantly reducing their CO₂ emissions. The adoption of Type 1L in the USA and GUL15 in Canada marks a pivotal shift towards low-clinker cement in North America, driven by increasing demand for supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) that further diminish clinker content. Transitioning to low-clinker cement involves overcoming various technical challenges. Fives FCB offers tailored solutions, ranging from individual machinery to comprehensive engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) projects. Their recent advancements include the Rhodax® technology, which has achieved up to 60% recovery of cement paste from recycled concrete—double the industry norm—through extensive collaboration with Heidelberg Materials and rigorous testing. Additionally, Fives’ TSV THF classifiers have demonstrated exceptional performance in achieving fine, homogeneous cement particles, crucial for adapti...
