Cement Production Process Overview

The document outlines the process for manufacturing cement, which involves blasting limestone at quarries, crushing and transporting the raw materials, grinding the materials into a raw mix, burning the mix in a kiln at 2000 degrees Celsius to form clinker, grinding the clinker with gypsum to form pure cement, storing the cement in silos, and dispatching it in bulk or bags.

STORAGE, PACKING, DISPATCH

RAW MATERIAL ARE PROCESSED BY:

1.) BLASTING: The raw materials that are used to manufacture cement are blasted to the quarry

2.) Transport: Raw materials are loaded into a dumper

3.) Crushing and Transportation: Raw materials, after crushing are transported to the plant by conveyor
into the storage of the plant.

4.) Raw Grinding: The raw materials are finely ground in order to produce the raw mix.

5.) Burning: The raw mix is preheated before it goes to kiln, which is heated by flame that can be as hot
as 2000 deg. C.

6.) Grinding: The clinker and gypsum are very finely ground giving a “pure cement”.

7.) Storage, Packing, Dispatch: The cement is stored in silos before being dispatched either in bulk or in
bags to its final destination.
