Cement Adhesives are Manufectured in Nepal

Gorkha Eco Panel

काठमाडौं । स्थायी तथा अस्थायी संरचनाको निर्माण गर्दा इँटाको विकल्पमा प्रयोग गरिने इको प्यानलको जोडाइमा प्रयोग हुने एडिसिभ(adhesive) सिमेन्टको नेपालमै उत्पादन सुरु भएको छ । हालसम्म विदेशबाट आयात गरी प्रयोग भइरहेकोमा नेपालमै पहिलो पटक गोर्खा इको प्यानलले यो सिमेन्टको उत्पादन थालेको हो ।

यो सिमेन्ट इको प्यानलको जोडाइका साथै बाथरुम र किचेनका टायलहरु टाँंस्न प्रयोग गरिन्छ । इको प्यानलको जोडाइमा प्रयोग हुने यो सिमेन्ट अन्य सिमेन्ट भन्दा फरक हुन्छ । सामान्य सिमेन्ट भन्दा यसको कम्प्रेसिभ स्ट्रेन्थ(जोडाई क्षमता) मजबुत हुने भएकाले इको प्यानलको जोडाईमा यही सिमेन्ट आवश्यक पर्छ ।

उत्पादित सिमेन्ट प्रति बोरा ५० केजीको छ । यसअघि चीनबाट आयातित गरिआएकोमा अहिले बहराइनस्थित साझेदार कम्पनी अल खाजाको प्रविधि नेपालमा भित्राई यसको उत्पादन नेपालमै सुरु गरेको गोर्खा इको प्यानलका प्रमुख कार्यकारी अधिकृत(सीइओ) इञ्जिनियर कृष्णभक्त दुवालले बताए ।

भारतबाट आयातित प्रिफ्याब प्यानलहरुले ज्वाइन्टमा सिमेन्टको प्रयोग नगरे पनि गोर्खा इको प्यानलले यो सिमेन्ट प्रयोग गर्दै आएको सिईओ दुवालले बताए । ल्याबमा पूर्ण परीक्षण पश्चात मात्रै यो सिमेन्ट बजारमा पठाउने उनले बताए । सकेसम्म अत्यधिक स्वदेशी कच्चा पदार्थको प्रयोगबाट यो सिमेन्टको उत्पादन थालेको उनले जनाए । एडिसिभ सिमेन्टको प्रयोगले इको प्यानलमा भएका टंङ्ग एण्ड ग्रुभको जोडाई मजबुत हुने उनले बताए ।

ल्यावमा परीक्षण गर्दा यसको कम्प्रेशिभ स्ट्रेन्थ ४० एमपीए रहेको जनाइएको छ जुन अन्य सिमेन्टमा भन्दा धेरै हो । यो एडिसिभ सिमेन्ट चाँंडो सुक्ने भएकोले काम गर्न सहज हुने बताइएको छ ।

एडिसिभ सिमेन्टको उत्पादन थालेको गोर्खा इको प्यानल स्वदेशमै इको प्यानल उत्पादन गर्ने नेपालकै पहिलो कम्पनी हो । यो आईएसओ ९००१:२०१५ चिन्ह प्राप्त कम्पनी हो । ‘निर्माण सामाग्रीमा हरित क्रान्ति’ भन्ने नाराका साथ कम मात्रै प्राकृतिक श्रोतसाधनको प्रयोग गरी यो कम्पनीले स्वदेशमै निर्माण सामाग्री उत्पादन गर्दै आइरहेको छ । कम्पनीले काठको विकल्पको रुपमा पूर्ण वातावरणमैत्री यूपीभीसीको झ्याल ढोकाहरु पनि उत्पादन गर्दै आएको छ ।

Note: Cement industries under production are reported by dealers of various cement industries.

The actual production data of existing cement industries both integrated and clinker based as shown in economic survey report 2006/07 are 613,643 tonnes in 2005/06 and 644,325 (production data for 8 months only) are low. Production is estimated as per capacity utilization shown in table 3.

Table 3: Capacity utilization of existing cement producing industries

Year	Capacity utilization (%)
1994/95	62
1995/96	51
1996/97	37
1997/98	48
1998/99	47
1999/2000	43

2000/01	41
2001/02	45
2002/03	46
2003/04	39
2004/05	49
2005/06	40

The demand of cement in the country is being met through domestic production as well as from imports.
After 2001 the private sector is dominantly gaining ground in the share of domestic production of cement and market.
Considering the capacity utilization in the past, the capacity utilization as estimated seems ambiguous. The capacity utilized is limited due to non – availability of adequate raw materials in time, operational insufficiency, defects in management, over manning, power load shedding etc.

Nepal’s cement hub Bhairahawa

Comments Off

Cement-Industry-Lumbini-2

With 11 of the biggest cement factories based in the area, Bhairahawa can easily claim to be the cement production hub of the country.

Factories in the industrial border town, especially the Lumbini Industrial Corridor, churn out around 100,000 sacs of cement every day, and according to industry insiders, 40 per cent of all cement sold in Nepal comes from one of the plants in this town.

If you have heard of any big name in cement these days, it is probably manufuactured in Bhairahawa. Siddhartha Cement, Jagadamba Cement, Reliance Cement, Goenka Cement, Brij Cement, Supreme Cement, Pathank Cement, Ambuja Cement, Agni Cement, Bishal Cement and Arghakhanchi Cement are all based in Bhairahawa.

However, due to a crippling power crisis in the country, the factories are unable to fully utilise their installed capacity.

Why Bhairahawa?

Bhairahawa’s strategic location, industry members say, is the main reason why factories want to set shop here. The city also has a relatively good infrastructure. Similarly, it is easy to get to different parts of the country by road, as the town is connected to key highways.

“In terms of cement production, Bhairahawa is on top,” says Rajesh Agrawal of Siddhartha Cement. “Birgunj comes a close second.”

What about Lumbini?

Bhairahawa lies near the ancient site of Lumbini, where Siddhartha Gautam was born. A government policy bans the operation of factories within a 15 km radius of the holy site.

Ten cement factories in Bhairahawa have stalled plans to expand production because to do so, they would have to acquire land near Lumbini. The factory operators have demanded that the government policy regarding expansion should be revised to allow environment-friendly plants.

Another problem the cement factories are facing is the lack of reliable power supply. If the region gets a steady supply of electricity, factories that have been shut will reopen and new ones will be setup, believes Rajkumar Sharma of Siddhartha Chamber of Commerce & Industry.

Future is energy

“We will soon get a 132 KVA transmission line,” says Sharma.

An additional 200 MW will be transmitted to the Lumbini Industrial Corridor in the near future, says Sharma. The transmission line will reach the area via Tuti Pipal and Mainihawa. Then the expansions can go on at a more rapid rate, says Sharma.
