With the increasing demand for cement PPC decided to expand its cement milling capacity by installing a new clinker grinding facility at PPC Hercules works in Pretoria.  This will increase PPC’s cement output by one million tons per annum.

The main components of the project are an energy efficient vertical roller mill, a clinker silo and a duo-cell cement silo with bulk road loading facilities.  The project commenced in February 2007.  The use of modern equipment, complying with strict environmental requirements, will ensure the continued supply of cement.
