The Minister for Industry, Trade and
Investment, Mr Charles Mwijage, expected to inaugurate the project
August 16, 2016 at the plant.
Tanga Cement, trades as Simba Cement at
Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange (DSE), invested 152 million US dollars for
the expansion to ensure work for the future generation.
According to a statement the number two
clinker production capacity is 775,000 thus pushes production from
500,000 tonnes to 1.25 million tonnes. Simba Cement shares climbed
almost 6.0 per cent to close the week ending last Friday at 1,800/- a
piece.
Portland cement clinker is a dark grey
nodular material made by heating ground limestone and clay at a
temperature of about 1400 °C - 1500 °C. The nodules are ground up to a
fine powder to produce cement, with a small amount of gypsum added to
control the setting properties.
