Cement industry and ATD Cardox®:
Built for extreme heat!
Forget tropical. Cement production reaches 1,450 °C! When you mix that level of heat with abrasive materials and constant movement, build-ups and blockages are common. Wait for the plant to cool down for cleaning? That’s a recipe for downtime. Extreme conditions demand extraordinary solutions: like the ATD CARDOX® Pressure Gas System! You bring the heat. We bring cold CO2. Our optimized ATD-System breaks build-ups across all key cement production areas reliably and safely, no matter how hot. Plant downtime? Not on our watch.

ATD Cardox® in the cement industry:
THE ADVANTAGES
- Decades of experience
The ATD-System was first used to successfully clean a cement rotary kiln in Germany in 1961. Since then, the system has been constantly refined and optimized down to the smallest detail.
- Efficient and safe
The ATD pressure tube locks into the equipment quickly and securely with the mounting base and locking sleeve. We also train users on using the ATD CARDOX® Pressure Gas System with our ATD Academy →
- Innovation and sustainability
The ATD-System evolves with the demands of the cement industry – making it the cutting-edge solution for your plants. Using the system during operation prevents time-consuming downtime. Yes, even at 1,450 °C.
