Uncover a Gem: Complete Limestone Crushing Plant from Sappi Saiccor Up for Grabs!

Liquidity Services have got a fantastic opportunity to share from Umkomaas, Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa. Liquidity Services SA are currently facilitating the sale of a complete limestone crushing and grinding plant, previously operated by Sappi Saiccor.

This entire plant is being offered as a single lot on a "Make an Offer" basis, providing a unique chance to acquire a fully integrated system.

What's On Offer?

Let's dive into the details of what makes this a prime asset. The plant itself is housed within a robust structure, featuring IBR sheeting supported by a sturdy fabricated steel framework. The processing line is designed for efficiency, starting with an initial jaw crusher. This feeds material onto an incline conveyor, then to a horizontal transfer conveyor.

The crushed limestone then makes its way into the Loesche LM13-20 mill. This is a high-value, German-made prime asset, and it comes complete with assorted spares. It's engineered for further grinding and size reduction, transforming the crushed limestone into a fine powder.

After the milling process, the powder is efficiently transferred from the Loesche mill through a combination of screw conveyors, belt conveyors, and bucket elevators, ultimately depositing the finished product into holding silos.

Important Note: While this is a complete plant, please be aware that all electrical cables and the control system are excluded from the scope of this sale.

The Objective of the Sale

This entire plant is being offered on an "as-is-where-is," "Voetstoots" basis. Sappi is looking for a positive commercial outcome from this sale, which crucially includes the total dismantling and removal of all assets from their site. For prospective buyers, it's essential to note that contractor compliance is compulsory further details regarding these requirements will be provided to interested parties.

Who would benefit from adding this asset to their asset list?

Loesche mills, and specifically models like the LM13-20 (which falls under their "industrial minerals" series), are versatile and find extensive application in various industries requiring fine grinding of non-metallic minerals and other bulk materials.

Primary Industries and Applications:

1. Industrial Minerals: This is a core strength. The LM13-20 is particularly well-suited for grinding:

   • Limestone: As seen in the Sappi plant, for applications in various sectors (see below).

   • Dolomite: Used in construction, agriculture, and steelmaking.

   • Bentonite: For drilling muds, cat litter, and foundry applications.

   • Marble: For fillers, pigments, and construction materials.

   • Barite: Used in drilling fluids and as a filler.

   • Chalk: For fillers, pigments, and agricultural lime.

   • Gypsum: For plaster, drywall, and cement production.

   • Talc: For paints, plastics, cosmetics, and paper.

   • Phosphates: For fertilizers.

   • Magnesite: For refractories and chemical processes.

   • Kaolin and other Clays: For ceramics, paper, and rubber.

   • Fluorite, Colemanite, etc.

2. Cement Industry: Loesche is a dominant player in cement grinding, including:

   • Cement raw meal: Grinding of limestone, clay, marl, and other raw materials before clinker production.

   • Cement clinker: Grinding the clinker to produce various types of cement.

   • Granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS): For supplementary cementitious materials.

3. Power Industry (Solid Fuels):

   • Coal: Grinding various types of coal (brown coal to anthracite) for pulverized coal-fired power plants, cement kilns, and blast furnaces. Loesche also offers mobile coal grinding plants.

4. Mining and Metallurgy (Ores and Steel Slags):

   • Ores: Dry grinding of various ores, where energy efficiency and water conservation are critical. This also offers advantages in mineral liberation.

   • Steel slag: Processing steel slags for metal recovery and producing mineral fine products for the building materials industry.

This is an excellent opportunity for businesses in the mining, construction, or industrial minerals sectors looking to acquire a fully integrated limestone processing facility without the complexities of building one from scratch.
