With the development of the cement industry, higher demand for cement delivers unlimited business opportunities. In recent years, cement plant becomes hot, and more and more customers want to build their own cement manufacturing plant or mini cement plant. What is the cement manufacturing plant?
The cement manufacturing plant is also called a cement plant, cement making plant. As the name applied, the cement manufacturing plant is used to cement manufacturing. By the cement manufacturing process, the cement production line can be divided into three parts including raw material preparation, clinker production and finished cement production. The cement plant design is generally according to the cement manufacturing process. Every cement plant part is independent and connected with each other.
How to make money with a cement manufacturing plant? This is the first question that every client should ask. The ancients said:” It is necessary to have effective tools to do good work.” So, before building a cement plant, you should get a full knowledge of cement manufacturing and cement plant equipment.
AGICO Cement is a professional cement plant manufacturer, we can supply cement equipment such as cement kiln, cement crusher, cement mill, roller press, preheater, cement silo, etc. or one-stop solution to the cement manufacturing. Based on advanced equipment and full-service support, it is easy to make money with the cement manufacturing plant of AGICO Cement.
Raw material preparation and related cement equipment
The raw material preparation of cement production line includes parts: crushing, grinding and homogenizing.
- Crushing and pre-homogenization: the most of raw materials like limestone and clay should be crushed. The limestone is the main material for cement manufacturing, it has a large size and high hardness, so the limestone crush is important in the cement plant. The raw material pre-homogenization uses technology to realize the preliminary homogenization during the process of stacking and reclaiming so that raw materials stockyard has the function of storage and homogenization at the same time.
- Grinding: in the cement production line, each one ton of Portland cement need three ton of raw materials. According to the data, the energy consumption caused by the cement grinding plant takes more than 60% of the whole dry method cement production line, the raw material grinding takes more than 30%, clinker grinding takes 40%, and others take 30%. To ensure quality and reduce energy consumption, it is necessary to reasonably choose a grinding plant, optimize the grinding process, and control the cement plant operation.
- Homogenization: in the new dry new type dry cement production plant, the homogenization is the premise of high-quality cement clinker.
There are some cement equipment is applied to the raw material preparation in the cement plant, such as cement crusher, stacker and reclaimer, cement mill and etc.
Cement crusher
The cement crushers crush raw material into the required size before cement grinding. AGICO Cement can manufacture various types of cement crusher, such as jaw crusher, impact crusher, cone crusher, and hammer crusher, etc. The cement crusher produced by AGICO can fully crush the raw materials, reduce the feed size into cement mill, increase the reaction of materials in the next step, and reduce the energy consumption of cement production line.
Cement mill
Cement mill for raw materials includes ball mill, vertical cement mill, Raymond mill, and cement roller press. The fineness of raw materials affects the cement clinker production speed. How to choose a cement mill? At present, the ball mill has widest applications.
Clinker production and related cement equipment
The clinker production has two important parts: preheat and cement clinker plant.
- Preheat: the raw materials preheat and part of calcination are completed by the preheater, replace the part of the function of rotary kiln, shorten the length of cement kiln, while heat change is under the packing state, after moving to preheater, it is under the suspension state. Make a full mixture of raw material and hot air discharged from the kiln, increase the contact area between material and air, high speed of heat transfer rate and high heat exchange efficiency, improve production efficiency, reduce the energy consumption of clinker production.
- Clinker making: after the preheat and precalcination, the next process is clinker making in the rotary kiln. The raw materials will have a series of reactions, and the cement clinker is produced. The high-temperature clinker should be cooled to the required temperature and transferred to the finished cement production. At the moment, recovery the heat and promote heat efficiency and clinker quality.
Preheater
The suspension preheater is required to match with the cement kiln. AGICO Cement has developed the suspension preheater with a capacity of 500-2000ton. The suspension preheater can be widely applied to the new cement plant or cement plant transformation.
Rotary kiln
There are two types of cement kiln on the market, including a cement rotary kiln and vertical shaft kiln, the rotary kiln is more common in the dry process cement production line. AGICO provides a rotary kiln with the advantages of easy operation, stable thermal regulation. Compared to other branded cement kiln, our running rate increased by 10%, the production capacity increased by 5-10%, energy consumption reduced by15%.
Cooler and dryer
The dryer is one of the common cement equipment in the cement manufacturing plant. The cement dryer from AGICO can be customized, and the customer can choose suitable models according to the material and other needs. Our cement dryer also has a stable operation, keep the drying quality.
The grate cooler provides cold air to cool the cement clinker lay on the grate plate, make the clinker temperature drops from 1200℃ to below 100℃, and a large amount of cooling waste gas is used as the secondary air and removed into the kiln.
Finished cement production and related cement equipment
The finished cement production includes finished cement grinding, cement packing and cement storage, and so on. The cement grinding consumes most of the power in the cement production line. The cement grinding machines grind the clinker and other materials into proper fineness to meet the requirement of hardness, condensation, etc. In general, there are two packing methods to choose for cement packing, in a bag or in bulk.
Finished cement grinding plant
The finished cement grinding plant is related to the finished cement quality. Generally, cement ball mill, cement vertical mill, and cement roller press can be applied to the finished cement grinding. Ball mill of AGICO can greatly improve the grinding efficiency and reduce energy consumption.
If you want to build a cement plant or buy any cement equipment of cement manufacturing plant, welcome to contact, AGICO Cement will always provide high-quality products and perfect service for every client.
