What is Cement Plant? |
| An integrated
facility 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. The cement is shipped
by truck, rail or barge to customers, or to
regional terminals for customer pick-up. Most
cement plants have quarries
located nearby to supply the limestone and
other raw materials. |

Cement
manufacturing as a procedure and
as a big production has undergone many phases
of makeover in current times. Ashokaengineering.com
is one of the big name comes in cement
plant manufacturers which holds in-depth
province understanding of the cement industry
and therefore, is operational to present personalized
service which is directed to meet the cement
plant manufacturing requirements
of customers from cement plants.
Ashoka cement plant manufacturers
offer complete solutions to its customers.
We are producers, providers and exporters
of cement plants like mini
cement plant, rotary kiln plants, clinker
plants, Portland cement plants and VSK cement
plants. The technology that we set up has
its own intrinsic worth. The plant functions
with lesser power and fuel consumption, which
has made the cement manufacturing
procedure very economical. As cement
plant manufacturers, our designing
and construction are planned and made to outfits
the circumstances where the plant is to be
installed. |

Manufacturing Process |
|
The cement manufacturing process begins when limestone, the basic raw material used to make cement.
The limestone is combined with clay, ground in a crusher and fed into the additive silos. Sand, iron and bottom ash are then combined with the limestone and clay in a carefully controlled mixture which is ground into a fine powder in a 2000 hp roller mill.
Next, the fine powder is heated as it passes through the Pre-Heater Tower into a large kiln, which is over half the length of a football field and 4.2 meters in diameter. In the kiln, the powder is heated to 1500 degrees Celsius. This creates a new product, called clinker, which resembles pellets about the size of marbles.
The clinker is combined with small amounts of gypsum and limestone and finely ground in a finishing mill. The mill is a large revolving cylinder containing 250 tonnes of steel balls that is driven by a 4000 hp motor. The finished cement is ground so fine that it can pass through a sieve that will hold water.
The cement manufacturing process consists of many simultaneous and continuous operations using some of the largest moving machinery in manufacturing. |

Trend of cement Industry |
|
With
an installed capacity of around 157 million
tonnes per annum (mtpa) at end-March 2006,
large cement plants accounted
for 93% of the total installed capacity in
India. The installed capacity is distributed
over across approximately 129 large cement
plants owned by around 54 companies.
The structure of the industry is fragmented, although, the concentration at the top is increasing. The fragmented structure is a result of the low entry barriers in the post decontrol period and the ready availability of technology.
However, cement plants are
capital intensive and require a capital investment
of over Rs. 3,500 per tonne of cement, which
translates into an investment of Rs. 3,500
million for a 1 mtpa plant.
The cement industry has witnessed substantial reorganisation of capacities during the last couple of years. Some examples of the consolidation witnessed during the recent past include:
Multinational cement companies have also initiated the acquisition process in the Indian cement market. |
