• CERAMATECH 2014 CONCLUSIONS

BERALMAR took part in the CERAMATECH fair which was held at the Expocentre in Moscow (Russia) between the 28th and 31st of January.

This was the first time BERALMAR had taken part in this fair because BERALMAR has always attended, and will continue to do so, the MOSBUILD fair in the Russian capital. This dual participation in fairs in the Russian market in the same year indicates BERALMAR’s commitment to maintaining close contact with customers and friends in the Russian ceramics industry.

This first experience at the CERAMATECH fair can be described as very positive in terms of number and quality of visitors from the sector to our stand.

From these pages we would again like to thank all visitors, and we hope hope to see you all again in Moscow in April in the MOSBUILD fair.

• News and Accomplishments
• NEW SOLID-FUEL FIRING INSTALLATION IN KAZAKHSTAN

BERALMAR has received a new order for a solid fuel firing installation. This time the order comes from Kazakhstan, a vast Central Asian republic that despite having a similar population to Holland occupies an area equivalent to 60% of the European Union and is the 9th largest state in the world's.

The firing installation in question is a PROMATIC system, which will be installed in the tunnel kiln in the OAO TEMIRTAU KIRPICH ceramics facility to supply 100% of the energy necessary for firing 260 tonnes/day of ceramic blocks. The solid fuel available is coal.

Beralmar has already supplied more than 250 solid fuel firing installations for tunnel kilns since 1983 when it began selling the PROMATIC system. Since 2000, 131 installations have been supplied, that is a rate of supply of almost one installation per month sustained over a long period of time, and the Republic of Kazakhstan becomes the 26th country in the list of countries receiving this type of technology.
