THE CEMENT

MANUFACTURING

PROCESS

1. RAW GRINDING : The raw materials are very finely ground in order to produce the raw mix.
   1. RAW GRINDING

Raw grinding and burning

2. BURNING
3. BURNING : The raw mix is preheated before it goes into the kiln, which is heated by a flame that can be as hot as 2000 °C. The raw mix burns at 1500 °C producing clinker which, when it leaves the kiln, is rapidly cooled with air fans. So, the raw mix is burnt to produce clinker : the basic material needed to make cement. conveyor Raw mix kiln cooling preheating clinker storage at the plant Raw mill

1.GRINDING : The clinker and the gypsum are very finely ground giving a “pure cement”. Other secondary additives and cementitious materials can also be added to make a blended cement.
