AUMUND Group: Driving decarbonization & energy savings in cement production

The introduction of the eLCC and the Push Chain Bucket Elevator attracted significant interest from international industry professionals.

On 12 November 2025, AUMUND Fördertechnik hosted an exclusive Open House in Rheinberg to present two new patented product innovations: the electrified Linear Calcination Conveyor (eLCC) and the Push Chain Bucket Elevator. Around forty international guests from the cement industry attended, making the event a resounding success.

The technologies presented reflect the ongoing transformation within the sector. The eLCC offers an energy-efficient and industry-ready solution for producing calcined clay – an essential component of LC3 cement, which can reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 40% compared to conventional Portland cement. The new Push Chain Bucket Elevator also attracted considerable interest and extends the AUMUND portfolio with another advanced solution for demanding bulk material handling applications.

A highlight of the day was the live demonstration of both systems in operation. Guests took the opportunity to discuss technical details and specific application scenarios for their own plants. In addition, presentations by Dr. Michael Weihrauch (Holcim) and Dr. Joachim Harder (OneStone Consulting) provided valuable insights into current developments in decarbonisation and the future requirements of the global cement industry.

Many conversations continued during an informal get-together, where new contacts were made and existing ones strengthened. The strong international participation underscores the global relevance of the technologies presented. The highly positive feedback from attendees confirms that, with the eLCC and the new Push Chain Bucket Elevator, AUMUND is providing important momentum for the sustainable advancement of cement production and successfully launching two products with the potential to set new industry standards.
