How is Cement Manufactured and Processed?

 

Cement manufacturing as a procedure and as a big production line has undergone many phases of makeover in current times.

 
An integrated cement manufacturing process is that prepares the raw mix, feeds it to the pyro-processing system (kiln), and then grinds the clinker from the kiln system into various cement products. Finished cement is stored in large silos on site or bagged for small quantity use.
 
Crushing process: The raw materials mainly limestone, clay, coke are crushed in the separate crushers and stored automatically into the respective silos.
 
Storage and Proportioning: The different raw materials are extracted from the silos in the desired proportion through table feeders and conveyed to raw mill.
 
Raw Milling: The raw mix is ground into a ball grinder at desired fineness to produce Raw Meal, and transported for Homogenizing.
Blending & Homogenization: The raw meal is homogenized in the blending silos, and is stored automatically into a storage silo for feeding to the kiln.
 
Palletizing & Burning: The nodules are made into a nodulisor and charged into the kiln for burning. The clinker after discharge is stored in the clinker yard through deep Bucket Elevator.
 
Clinker/gypsum crushing, storage & proportioning:
Clinker & Gypsum after crushing stored into the hoppers and extracted in the desired proportion with the help of table feeders and transported to the mill Hopper.
 
Cement Grinding: The clinker & Gypsum mix is ground to produce cement.
 
Storage & Packing: The cement is stored into the cement silos and aerated, tested and packed for dispatch.
Cement manufacturing plants:
 
Cement manufacturing plants should be include high efficient separator which has such characteristics as low energy consumption, cooling and drying, high availability, relatively low capital expenditure, high selectivity, and, proper product separation.
