Powering Industrial Growth in Algeria

To address critical power instability at a building materials factory in Oran—where grid failures caused production halts and equipment damage—we installed a 200kW refurbished Cummins generator with automatic transfer switch. This reliable power solution enabled continuous operation of mixing and processing equipment, increasing productivity by over 40% while eliminating material waste.

Project Case: Ensuring Stable Production Power for an Algeria Building Materials Processing Plant

Client: A medium-sized building materials processing plant in Oran, Algeria

Industry: Building Materials Manufacturing

Core Need: Resolving frequent shutdowns of concrete mixers and processing equipment caused by unstable power grids

Client Dilemma: Unstable power supply threatens business survival

This plant, specializing in concrete blocks and prefabricated building materials, faced significant challenges:

1. Frequent production interruptions – Grid voltage fluctuations and daily outages caused sudden shutdowns of mixers, resulting in the loss of entire batches of raw materials.
2. Risk of Equipment Damage – Unstable voltage caused persistent damage to precision motors and control systems.
3. Delivery Delays – Failure to meet production schedules led to increased customer complaints and the risk of lost orders.
4. High Maintenance Costs – Frequent power outages accelerated equipment aging, resulting in skyrocketing repair costs.
