Fives to highlight its integrated SCM expertise at Intercem Americas 2026
At Intercem Americas 2026, Fives will showcase this integrated approach under the theme "Unlocking SCM Potential", highlighting solutions designed to help producers maximize the value of locally available resources while maintaining operational reliability and product quality. Rather than focusing on a single equipment solution, Fives combines process engineering, proprietary technologies and long-term operational support to facilitate the industrial deployment of SCMs.
From SCM activation to cement performance
A key topic at the event will be the production of highly reactive SCMs through the FCB Flash Calciner. The technology provides fine control of calcination conditions, ensuring consistent activation of clays and other mineral resources. By producing highly reactive supplementary cementitious materials, it enables cement producers to increase clinker substitution rates while preserving mechanical performance and cement quality.
Fives will also showcase the latest developments around the FCB Horomill®, a grinding solution widely recognized for its ability to produce fine-ground blended cements with low specific energy consumption. Particularly well-suited to the growing use of SCM, the FCB Horomill® offers great operational flexibility and consistent product quality.
Fives further offers the proven FCB B-mill, a robust grinding solution particularly suited to high-fineness products, abrasive materials and a wide range of SCMs. The FCB B-mill provides reliable operation, high availability and the flexibility required to adapt grinding circuits to diverse raw material characteristics and production objectives.
Complementing these technologies, the FCB TSV™ Classifier plays a key role in controlling particle size distribution. Its highly efficient classification capabilities enable the production of finely tuned products, thereby helping to optimize the reactivity of cementitious materials and cement performance.
At the same time, the FCB Rhodax® contributes to the recovery and valorization of alternative resources, including concrete waste, slags and industrial by-products, supporting a more circular approach to cement production.
A process approach to SCM valorization
What distinguishes Fives is its ability to connect these technologies within a coherent process strategy. From raw material characterization and process definition to commissioning and long-term optimization, Fives works alongside cement producers to determine the most relevant pathway for SCM integration based on local resources, plant configuration and market requirements.
Our Services teams help maintain equipment performance over the long term through spare parts management, technical audits, digital monitoring solutions and on-site process expertise.
Explore the practical aspects of implementing SCM with us, including clay activation, grinding circuit optimization, classification performance, and circular material recovery. As cement producers across the United States continue to explore new approaches to reducing clinker consumption, Fives remains committed to providing proven industrial solutions that transform the opportunities offered by SCM into sustainable operational performance.
