JMG upgrades Dangote cement Gboko plant with advanced KAESER air system

By Editor

JMG Limited, through its industrial division, has successfully delivered a major compressed air system upgrade at the Gboko plant of Dangote Cement Plc in Benue State.

The project followed a comprehensive system audit and airflow analysis, which led to the installation of eight high-performance KAESER rotary lobe blower units engineered for continuous heavy-duty industrial operations.

Dangote Cement Plc, a subsidiary of Dangote Industries Limited, remains Africa’s largest cement producer, with an installed capacity of 52 million tonnes per annum across 10 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa.

According to project details, the newly upgraded compressed air system has delivered a significant boost in operational efficiency. Airflow efficiency improved by approximately 23 percent, while peak airflow capacity rose by nearly 47 percent compared to the previous configuration.

These enhancements are expected to translate into improved production stability, optimized energy consumption, and stronger overall system reliability at the facility.

JMG Limited’s industrial arm, which specializes in engineered air compressor systems and industrial equipment, executed the installation and full commissioning of the advanced KAESER technology. The company is also the authorized dealer of KAESER air compressors in Nigeria, providing installation expertise and after-sales support nationwide.

Speaking on the upgrade, plant engineer Natu David noted that the new system has significantly improved airflow stability across production lines, resulting in measurable gains in efficiency and reliability. He also commended JMG Industrial’s engineering competence, from system evaluation through to commissioning.

Compressed air systems play a critical role in cement manufacturing and other large-scale industrial operations. As demand grows for energy-efficient and reliable industrial solutions, manufacturers are increasingly seeking trusted technical partners with proven engineering capabilities.

By combining globally recognized KAESER technology with local execution, JMG Limited continues to reinforce its position in Nigeria’s industrial air compressor and engineered systems market.

The company delivers turnkey air compressor solutions, including system design, optimization, installation, and long-term maintenance support tailored for demanding industrial environments.
