GEA Barr-Rosin has successfully been selected for the supply of a new rotary dryer for the Arab Potash Company (APC), a leading potash producer in the region and a major supplier to Asian and Mediterranean markets. The new contract shows a continued vote of confidence in GEA Barr-Rosin technology and services from a highly valued customer

GEA Barr-Rosin has enjoyed a strong relationship with APC since supplying a number of dryers and a cooler back in 2006. The plant is located on the Dead Sea in Jordan and is operating in harsh, desert conditions where temperatures soar in the day and can plummet to near freezing at night. The GEA Barr-Rosin heavy-duty, rotary dryer is designed to withstand these arduous conditions and the corrosive environment experienced at APC.

“We have built a very close working relationship with APC,” said Dominique Kuehner, sales and marketing manager at GEA Barr-Rosin. “We provide reliable, high specification equipment that is tough enough for this demanding duty and extreme environment.”

Dominique also explained that the continuous support and service provided by GEA Barr-Rosin has developed and strengthened ties with APC and that these components are key to the ongoing relationship between the two companies. “We are very careful to make sure that the servicing needs of the equipment are kept up to date and support is always on hand,” said Dominique. “When you are working by the Dead Sea and face pressure to meet production commitments, the last thing we want is an unscheduled stoppage.”

GEA Barr-Rosin dryers are ideally suited to potash applications and the company has extensive experience in this field with references worldwide. The reliability and performance of its drying technology allow its customers to satisfy the demands of the high quality potash buying markets.
