CEMENT PROCESS CHART
BEST CEMENT PRODUCED
Mining
Limestone, the primary ingredient for cement, is quarried from large open-pit mines. Other crucial materials like clay or shale may also be extracted.
JCB Machine
JCB machines (excavators and loaders) are used to handle the mined raw materials and load them onto trucks for transport to the cement plant
Crushing Machine
JCB machines (excavators and loaders) are used to handle the mined raw materials and load them onto trucks for transport to the cement plant
CLINKER
The crushed raw materials are blended in precise proportions and fed into a rotating kiln. Inside the kiln, intense heat (around 1450°C) causes chemical reactions that form clinker, the hard, pebble-like intermediate product in cement making.
Ball Mill
Clinker, along with gypsum (a setting regulator), is finely ground in a large rotating ball mill. This process creates the powdery substance we recognize as cement.
Straight Mill
Clinker, along with gypsum (a setting regulator), is finely ground in a large rotating ball mill. This process creates the powdery substance we recognize as cement.
