Raw Material for Cement:
The raw materials needed to produce cement (calciumcarbonate, silica, alumina and iron
ore) are generally extracted from limestone rock, chalk, clayey schist or clay. Suitable
reserves can be found in most countries. These raw materials are extracted from the quarry
by blasting.
Major raw material for cement manufacturing is limestone which is almost required 85%.
LIMESTONE:
It is a sedimentary rock composed primarily of calcium carbonate with the occasional
presence of magnesium. Most limestone is biochemical in origin meaning the calcium
carbonate in the stone originated from shelled oceanic creatures. Limestone can also be
chemical in origin as is the case with travertine. Chemical limestone forms when calcium
and carbonate ions suspended in water chemically bond and precipitate from their aquatic
sources.
MININGOF LIMESTONE FROM QUARRY:
Extraction (more commonly referred to as quarrying) consists of removing blocks or pieces
of stone from an identified and unearthed geologic deposit. Differences in the particular
quarrying techniques used often stems from variations in the physical properties of the
deposit itself—such as density, fracturing/bedding planes, and depth—financial
considerations, and the site owner’s preference. Nevertheless, the process is relatively
simple: locate or create (minimal) breaks in the stone, remove the stone using heavy
machinery, secure the stone on a vehicle for transport, and move the material to storage.
LATERITE:
It is a soil and rock type rich in iron and aluminum, and is commonly considered to have formed
in hot and wet tropical areas. Nearly all literates are of rusty-red coloration, because of high iron
oxide content.
Page | 8
HIGH SILICA:
Felsic igneous rocks containing a high silica content, greater than 63% SiO2 (examples granite
and rhyolite) intermediate igneous rocks containing between 52 – 63% SiO2 (example landsite
and deceit) mafic igneous rocks have low silica 45 – 52% and typically high iron – magnesium
content (example gabbro’s and basalt)
Clay is a fine-grained natural rock or soil material that combines one or more clay minerals with
traces of metal oxidesand organic matter. Clays are plastic due to their water content and
become hard, brittle and non–plastic upon drying or firing.

WORKINGPRINCIPLE:
The motor drives the rotor rotates of the Hammer Crusher at a high speed through the belt,
and on the rotor there are series hammers. When the materials get into the working area of
hammers, they are crushed by the rotating hammers of the Hammer Crusher with high
rotation speed The material is crushed or shattered by a combination of repeated hammer
impacts, the products which are crushed to meet the required size can be discharged by the
outlet and become the final products, the large size products are brought back to the
crushed area by the hammers of the Hammer Crusher for being re-crushed until they
reached the required size.

In Attock Cement Pakistan Limited (ACPL), Ball Mill is used for grinding the material for Line I
and Vertical Roller Mill for Line II.
BALL MILL:
A Ball Mill grinds material by rotating a cylinder with steel grinding balls causing the balls to
fall back into the cylinder and onto the material to be ground. The rotation is usually
between 4 to 20 revolutions per minute, depending upon the diameter of the mill. The
larger the diameter, the slower the rotation. If the peripheral speed of the mill is too great,
it begins to act like a centrifuge and the balls do not fall back, but stay on the perimeter of
the mill. The point where the mill becomes a centrifuge is called the "Critical Speed", and
ball mills usually operate at 65% of 75% of the critical speed.
NC = 1/2π √ [g/(R-r)]
Ball Mills are generally used to grind material 1/4 inch and finer, down to the particle size of
20 to 75 microns. To achieve a reasonable efficiency with ball mills, they must be operated
in a closed system, with oversize material continuously being re-circulated back into the mill
to be reduced. Various classifiers, such as screens, spiral classifiers, cyclones and air
classifiers are used for classifying the discharge from ball mills.
Page | 15
WORKINGPRINCIPLE OFBALL MILL:
When the ball mill works, motor and speed reducer transmit torque force to big and small
gears of ball mill, so the barrel rotates. When the barrel rotates, Steel balls or other grinding
media in the barrel are lifted to a certain height and fall down freely, so materials in the
barrel are impacted. Grinding media mixing with materials impact and grind materials
continuously. The grinding media and materials impact and grind each other when the ball
mill rotates continuously. The final product will be discharged from outlet when it meets the
request, so the grinding process is finished application range, simple structure and
convenient maintenance.
VERTICAL ROLLER MILL:
The differences between raw and cement grinding have been well documented in numerous
publications and presentations over the recent past. Specifically, as compared to limestone,
clinker and cement raw materials are finer and harder to grind. This, coupled with the finer
and more stringent product particle size distribution requirements, entails design
considerations to allow for continuous and stable operation of the grinding system.
The patented geometry of the mill’s grinding parts has demonstrated its suitability for this
application at the Arizona cement plant. As shown, the rollers are spherical in shape with a
groove in the middle. The table is also curved forming a wedge-shaped compression and
grinding zone between the rollers and the table.
Page | 16
The dual-lobed design is optimal for clinker grinding because it supplies two distinct grinding
zones, a low pressure zone and a high pressure zone, at each roller.
The low pressure area under the inner lobe de-aerates and consolidates the material to be
ground. This ensures a compact well established grinding bed for maximum stability. The
proper grinding then takes place in the high pressure zone under the outer lobe. The groove
in the middle of the roller facilitates de-aeration of the material without fluidizing it.
Due to its design of grinding parts and integral high efficiency separator, the vertical cement
mill, as shown, addresses all the difficult grinding conditions associated with the fine
grinding of cement clinker and related products. The result is a high grinding efficiency and
extremely stable mill operation.
WORKINGPRINCIPLE OF(VRM):
Material through the feed tube fell on the center of vertical roller mill grinding plate,
centrifugal force generated from the rotation of grinding plate uniformly scatters and
flattens the materials outwards the surrounding area of vertical roller mill grinding plate, to
forms a certain thick layer of materials bed, the material was crushed by number of rollers
at the same time. Driven by the continuous centrifugal force to keep the materials moving
to the outer edge of the grinding plate, the materials off the grinding plate rising with the
hot air which enter from wind ring into the vertical roller mill, through the vertical roller mill
shell into the middle of the separator, in this course materials and hot gas do a fully heat
exchange, and the water quickly evaporates. Separator controls the output size of finished
product, greater than the specified size are separated and fall back to the plate, while meet
the fineness requirements are brought through the separator into the finished product
warehouse.

BIN Storage:
Fine material cannot be stored outside because of environmental pollution so they are
stored in :
 Hopper
 Bin
 Silo
They are either cylindrical or rectangular vassal. A silo is relatively tall and bin are not so tall
and usually fairly wide. A hopper is the small vassal with sloppy bottom, for temporary
storage before feeding in the process all these containers are loaded from top by a kind of
elevator and discharge material from bottom.
In order to blend and homogenize the raw materials properly, continuous blending silos are
used.
The blending silo can store 6000 tons of the powder mixture.
It is highly insulated so that it can maintain the appropriate temperature of the powder
mixture.
Page | 19
PYRO-PROCESSING:
Pyro-processing is a very energy intensive operation and has a major impact on the
economics of the entire plant. Many technological developments have been adopted so as
to make the pyro-processing systemmore fuel and energy efficient.
Pyro processing involve following equipment:
 PRE-HEATER
 PRE-CALCINER
 KILN
 CLINKER COOLING
Pre-heater Tower:
The suspension pre heater is the basis of all modern systems. Raw mix in dry powder form is
injected into hot kiln exhaust gas in a vertical duct. The upward gas velocity is sufficient for
the powder to be picked up and lifted up the duct "in suspension" in the gas. Because heat
exchange occurs over the vast surface area of the individual mineral particles, the gas and
raw mix reach a common equilibrium temperature in a fraction of a second. The solids and
gas are then separated in a cyclone. This process is repeated a number of times - typically
three to six - by stacking "riser" ducts and cyclones on top of one another in a tower. By
repeated heat exchange, most of the heat in the kiln exhaust gas can be captured, while
heating the raw mix to calcinations temperature. Such heat as escapes the pre heater is
used to heat the raw mill.
The concept of the suspension pre heater gradually emerged when, from the 1920s onward,
some kilns started to be fitted with cyclones to remove most of the dust from kiln exhausts.
BENEFITS:
The top stage can reach 97% settling efficiency:
 Pressure drop of the line, including a 5 stage pre heater, is less than 50 mbar
 Heat and energy consumption is reduced 19
 Reduction of dust load to filter
 Technical advantages
 Overall design to achieve a very low pressure drop
 High heat exchange efficiency
 Large cone to avoid build-up
 Fan power reduction
Page | 20
Pre-calcinationSystem:
When cement clinker is burnt in a suspension pre-heater kiln a main proportion of the heat
consumed is required for the dissociation of𝐶𝑎𝐶𝑂3.
Instead of supplying the total heat required through the kiln main firing, it is advantages to
introduce part of the fuel (up to the 65%) before the meal enters the rotary kiln. From all
reaction involved during clinker burning, the calcination, also called de carbonation requires
the highest amount of energy.
𝐶𝑎𝐶𝑂3-----------------------------> 𝐶𝑎𝑂+ 𝐶𝑂2
Rotary Kiln:
Most Portland cement is made in a rotary kiln. Basically, this is a long cylinder rotating about
its axis once every minute or two. The axis is inclined at a slight angle, the end with the
burner being lower. The rotation causes the raw meal to gradually pass along from where it
enters at the cool end, to the hot end where it eventually drops out and cools. They were
introduced in the 1890s and became widespread in the early part of the 20th century and
were a great improvement on the earlier shaft kilns, giving continuous production and a
more uniform product in larger quantities.
Construction Of Rotary Kiln:
This is made from rolled mild steel plate, usually between 15 and 30 mm thick, welded to
form a cylinder which may be up to 230 m in length in wet process but in dry process, the
length is up to 45m and up to 6 m in diameter. This will be usually situated on an east/west
axis to prevent eddy currents.
Fuels that have been used for primary firing include coal, petroleum coke, heavy fuel oil,
natural gas, and landfill off-gas and oil refinery flare gas. High carbon fuels such as coal are
preferred for kiln firing.
Working Principle:
Rotary kiln is made of steel plate, and inside the kiln body inserts refractory lining, which
keeps specified inclination with horizontal line. Three tires are supported by each
supporting device, around the tire at feed end uses tangential spring plate to fix big gear,
under which a pinion is meshing with. During normal operation, the rotary kiln is driven by
main motor through main reducer to transmit power to open gear.
Page | 21
Material is fed into kiln from kiln tail. Due to the slope and rotation of the cylinder, the
material make a composite motion—it rolls in circumferential direction and at the same
time moves in axial direction. After sintering process, the material is calcined in cement
clinker and discharged into cooler machine through kiln head hood.
Sprayed into the kiln from the kiln head, the fuel burns in the kiln, after exchanging with the
material, the generated waste is discharged from kiln tail. The burner in this design is
excluding fuel.
Clinker Cooling:
The essential characteristic of a grea cooler is a layer of clinker spread on a more-or-less
horizontal perforated grate, through which cold air is blown. The grate is made of steel, and
the cold air keeps it sufficiently cool to avoid melting or burning. The clinker progresses
through the cooler by moving more-or-less horizontally along the grate, and so the direction
of the cooling air is roughly at right angles to the direction of movement of the clinker, and
the cooler functions as a cross-current heat exchanger.
The hot clinker at the inlet is treated with cold air rather than partially heated air, so that a
rapid quenching effect is possible, improving clinker quality by preserving reactive high-
temperature silicate polymorphs.
By using air in excess of that needed for combustion, the clinker can readily be cooled below
200°C.It is easy to tap off exhaust hot air streams in desired temperature ranges for use in
other processes.
Cement Mill:
Clinker formed as a result of pyro-processing has to be mixed with specific amount of
gypsum to form the final product. Gypsum is used to increase the setting time of cement.
In cement mill the clinker size is reduced through ball mills long with gypsum mixing i.e. the
two main purposes of cement mill are size reduction and mixing.
Working:
A ball mill is a horizontal cylinder partly filled with steel balls (or occasionally other shapes)
that rotates on its axis, imparting a tumbling and cascading action to the balls. Material fed
through the mill is crushed by impact and ground by attrition between the balls. The
grinding media are usually made of high chrome steel. The smaller grades are occasionally
cylindrical (“pebs”) rather than spherical. There exists a speed of rotation (“critical speed”)
at which the contents of the mill would simply ride over the roof of the mill due to
centrifugal action. The critical speed (rpm) is given by 𝑛𝑐=42.29/√𝑑, where d is the internal
diameter in meters. Ball mills are normally operated at around 75% of critical speed, so a
mill with diameter 5 meters will turn at around 14 rpm.

Mixing of Additives in Clinker:
 Gypsum is added to clinker primarily as an additive preventing the flash setting of
cement, but it is also very effective to facilitate the grinding of clinker by preventing
agglomeration and coating of the powder at the surface of grinding media and mill wall.
 Ethylene glycol is also commonly added at 0.1 wt. % as grinding aid to avoid powder
agglomeration and is proved to be very effective.

  • 7. Page | 7 Raw Material for Cement: The raw materials needed to produce cement (calciumcarbonate, silica, alumina and iron ore) are generally extracted from limestone rock, chalk, clayey schist or clay. Suitable reserves can be found in most countries. These raw materials are extracted from the quarry by blasting. Major raw material for cement manufacturing is limestone which is almost required 85%. LIMESTONE: It is a sedimentary rock composed primarily of calcium carbonate with the occasional presence of magnesium. Most limestone is biochemical in origin meaning the calcium carbonate in the stone originated from shelled oceanic creatures. Limestone can also be chemical in origin as is the case with travertine. Chemical limestone forms when calcium and carbonate ions suspended in water chemically bond and precipitate from their aquatic sources. MININGOF LIMESTONE FROM QUARRY: Extraction (more commonly referred to as quarrying) consists of removing blocks or pieces of stone from an identified and unearthed geologic deposit. Differences in the particular quarrying techniques used often stems from variations in the physical properties of the deposit itself—such as density, fracturing/bedding planes, and depth—financial considerations, and the site owner’s preference. Nevertheless, the process is relatively simple: locate or create (minimal) breaks in the stone, remove the stone using heavy machinery, secure the stone on a vehicle for transport, and move the material to storage. LATERITE: It is a soil and rock type rich in iron and aluminum, and is commonly considered to have formed in hot and wet tropical areas. Nearly all literates are of rusty-red coloration, because of high iron oxide content.
  • 8. Page | 8 HIGH SILICA: Felsic igneous rocks containing a high silica content, greater than 63% SiO2 (examples granite and rhyolite) intermediate igneous rocks containing between 52 – 63% SiO2 (example landsite and deceit) mafic igneous rocks have low silica 45 – 52% and typically high iron – magnesium content (example gabbro’s and basalt) Clay is a fine-grained natural rock or soil material that combines one or more clay minerals with traces of metal oxidesand organic matter. Clays are plastic due to their water content and become hard, brittle and non–plastic upon drying or firing. CLAY: It is a fine-grained natural rock or soil material that combines one or more clay minerals with traces of metal oxidesand organic matter. Clays are plastic due to their water content and become hard, brittle and non–plastic upon drying or firing. The quarry is the starting point.

  • 14. Page | 14 In Attock Cement Pakistan Limited (ACPL), Ball Mill is used for grinding the material for Line I and Vertical Roller Mill for Line II. BALL MILL: A Ball Mill grinds material by rotating a cylinder with steel grinding balls causing the balls to fall back into the cylinder and onto the material to be ground. The rotation is usually between 4 to 20 revolutions per minute, depending upon the diameter of the mill. The larger the diameter, the slower the rotation. If the peripheral speed of the mill is too great, it begins to act like a centrifuge and the balls do not fall back, but stay on the perimeter of the mill. The point where the mill becomes a centrifuge is called the "Critical Speed", and ball mills usually operate at 65% of 75% of the critical speed. NC = 1/2π √ [g/(R-r)] Ball Mills are generally used to grind material 1/4 inch and finer, down to the particle size of 20 to 75 microns. To achieve a reasonable efficiency with ball mills, they must be operated in a closed system, with oversize material continuously being re-circulated back into the mill to be reduced. Various classifiers, such as screens, spiral classifiers, cyclones and air classifiers are used for classifying the discharge from ball mills.
  • 15. Page | 15 WORKINGPRINCIPLE OFBALL MILL: When the ball mill works, motor and speed reducer transmit torque force to big and small gears of ball mill, so the barrel rotates. When the barrel rotates, Steel balls or other grinding media in the barrel are lifted to a certain height and fall down freely, so materials in the barrel are impacted. Grinding media mixing with materials impact and grind materials continuously. The grinding media and materials impact and grind each other when the ball mill rotates continuously. The final product will be discharged from outlet when it meets the request, so the grinding process is finished application range, simple structure and convenient maintenance. VERTICAL ROLLER MILL: The differences between raw and cement grinding have been well documented in numerous publications and presentations over the recent past. Specifically, as compared to limestone, clinker and cement raw materials are finer and harder to grind. This, coupled with the finer and more stringent product particle size distribution requirements, entails design considerations to allow for continuous and stable operation of the grinding system. The patented geometry of the mill’s grinding parts has demonstrated its suitability for this application at the Arizona cement plant. As shown, the rollers are spherical in shape with a groove in the middle. The table is also curved forming a wedge-shaped compression and grinding zone between the rollers and the table.
  • 16. Page | 16 The dual-lobed design is optimal for clinker grinding because it supplies two distinct grinding zones, a low pressure zone and a high pressure zone, at each roller. The low pressure area under the inner lobe de-aerates and consolidates the material to be ground. This ensures a compact well established grinding bed for maximum stability. The proper grinding then takes place in the high pressure zone under the outer lobe. The groove in the middle of the roller facilitates de-aeration of the material without fluidizing it. Due to its design of grinding parts and integral high efficiency separator, the vertical cement mill, as shown, addresses all the difficult grinding conditions associated with the fine grinding of cement clinker and related products. The result is a high grinding efficiency and extremely stable mill operation. WORKINGPRINCIPLE OF(VRM): Material through the feed tube fell on the center of vertical roller mill grinding plate, centrifugal force generated from the rotation of grinding plate uniformly scatters and flattens the materials outwards the surrounding area of vertical roller mill grinding plate, to forms a certain thick layer of materials bed, the material was crushed by number of rollers at the same time. Driven by the continuous centrifugal force to keep the materials moving to the outer edge of the grinding plate, the materials off the grinding plate rising with the hot air which enter from wind ring into the vertical roller mill, through the vertical roller mill shell into the middle of the separator, in this course materials and hot gas do a fully heat exchange, and the water quickly evaporates. Separator controls the output size of finished product, greater than the specified size are separated and fall back to the plate, while meet the fineness requirements are brought through the separator into the finished product warehouse.

  • 18. Page | 18 BIN Storage: Fine material cannot be stored outside because of environmental pollution so they are stored in :  Hopper  Bin  Silo They are either cylindrical or rectangular vassal. A silo is relatively tall and bin are not so tall and usually fairly wide. A hopper is the small vassal with sloppy bottom, for temporary storage before feeding in the process all these containers are loaded from top by a kind of elevator and discharge material from bottom. In order to blend and homogenize the raw materials properly, continuous blending silos are used. The blending silo can store 6000 tons of the powder mixture. It is highly insulated so that it can maintain the appropriate temperature of the powder mixture.
  • 19. Page | 19 PYRO-PROCESSING: Pyro-processing is a very energy intensive operation and has a major impact on the economics of the entire plant. Many technological developments have been adopted so as to make the pyro-processing systemmore fuel and energy efficient. Pyro processing involve following equipment:  PRE-HEATER  PRE-CALCINER  KILN  CLINKER COOLING Pre-heater Tower: The suspension pre heater is the basis of all modern systems. Raw mix in dry powder form is injected into hot kiln exhaust gas in a vertical duct. The upward gas velocity is sufficient for the powder to be picked up and lifted up the duct "in suspension" in the gas. Because heat exchange occurs over the vast surface area of the individual mineral particles, the gas and raw mix reach a common equilibrium temperature in a fraction of a second. The solids and gas are then separated in a cyclone. This process is repeated a number of times - typically three to six - by stacking "riser" ducts and cyclones on top of one another in a tower. By repeated heat exchange, most of the heat in the kiln exhaust gas can be captured, while heating the raw mix to calcinations temperature. Such heat as escapes the pre heater is used to heat the raw mill. The concept of the suspension pre heater gradually emerged when, from the 1920s onward, some kilns started to be fitted with cyclones to remove most of the dust from kiln exhausts. BENEFITS: The top stage can reach 97% settling efficiency:  Pressure drop of the line, including a 5 stage pre heater, is less than 50 mbar  Heat and energy consumption is reduced 19  Reduction of dust load to filter  Technical advantages  Overall design to achieve a very low pressure drop  High heat exchange efficiency  Large cone to avoid build-up  Fan power reduction
  • 20. Page | 20 Pre-calcinationSystem: When cement clinker is burnt in a suspension pre-heater kiln a main proportion of the heat consumed is required for the dissociation of𝐶𝑎𝐶𝑂3. Instead of supplying the total heat required through the kiln main firing, it is advantages to introduce part of the fuel (up to the 65%) before the meal enters the rotary kiln. From all reaction involved during clinker burning, the calcination, also called de carbonation requires the highest amount of energy. 𝐶𝑎𝐶𝑂3-----------------------------> 𝐶𝑎𝑂+ 𝐶𝑂2 Rotary Kiln: Most Portland cement is made in a rotary kiln. Basically, this is a long cylinder rotating about its axis once every minute or two. The axis is inclined at a slight angle, the end with the burner being lower. The rotation causes the raw meal to gradually pass along from where it enters at the cool end, to the hot end where it eventually drops out and cools. They were introduced in the 1890s and became widespread in the early part of the 20th century and were a great improvement on the earlier shaft kilns, giving continuous production and a more uniform product in larger quantities. Construction Of Rotary Kiln: This is made from rolled mild steel plate, usually between 15 and 30 mm thick, welded to form a cylinder which may be up to 230 m in length in wet process but in dry process, the length is up to 45m and up to 6 m in diameter. This will be usually situated on an east/west axis to prevent eddy currents. Fuels that have been used for primary firing include coal, petroleum coke, heavy fuel oil, natural gas, and landfill off-gas and oil refinery flare gas. High carbon fuels such as coal are preferred for kiln firing. Working Principle: Rotary kiln is made of steel plate, and inside the kiln body inserts refractory lining, which keeps specified inclination with horizontal line. Three tires are supported by each supporting device, around the tire at feed end uses tangential spring plate to fix big gear, under which a pinion is meshing with. During normal operation, the rotary kiln is driven by main motor through main reducer to transmit power to open gear.
  • 21. Page | 21 Material is fed into kiln from kiln tail. Due to the slope and rotation of the cylinder, the material make a composite motion—it rolls in circumferential direction and at the same time moves in axial direction. After sintering process, the material is calcined in cement clinker and discharged into cooler machine through kiln head hood. Sprayed into the kiln from the kiln head, the fuel burns in the kiln, after exchanging with the material, the generated waste is discharged from kiln tail. The burner in this design is excluding fuel. Clinker Cooling: The essential characteristic of a grea cooler is a layer of clinker spread on a more-or-less horizontal perforated grate, through which cold air is blown. The grate is made of steel, and the cold air keeps it sufficiently cool to avoid melting or burning. The clinker progresses through the cooler by moving more-or-less horizontally along the grate, and so the direction of the cooling air is roughly at right angles to the direction of movement of the clinker, and the cooler functions as a cross-current heat exchanger. The hot clinker at the inlet is treated with cold air rather than partially heated air, so that a rapid quenching effect is possible, improving clinker quality by preserving reactive high- temperature silicate polymorphs. By using air in excess of that needed for combustion, the clinker can readily be cooled below 200°C.It is easy to tap off exhaust hot air streams in desired temperature ranges for use in other processes. Cement Mill: Clinker formed as a result of pyro-processing has to be mixed with specific amount of gypsum to form the final product. Gypsum is used to increase the setting time of cement. In cement mill the clinker size is reduced through ball mills long with gypsum mixing i.e. the two main purposes of cement mill are size reduction and mixing. Working: A ball mill is a horizontal cylinder partly filled with steel balls (or occasionally other shapes) that rotates on its axis, imparting a tumbling and cascading action to the balls. Material fed through the mill is crushed by impact and ground by attrition between the balls. The grinding media are usually made of high chrome steel. The smaller grades are occasionally cylindrical (“pebs”) rather than spherical. There exists a speed of rotation (“critical speed”) at which the contents of the mill would simply ride over the roof of the mill due to centrifugal action. The critical speed (rpm) is given by 𝑛𝑐=42.29/√𝑑, where d is the internal diameter in meters. Ball mills are normally operated at around 75% of critical speed, so a mill with diameter 5 meters will turn at around 14 rpm.

The equipment and their specification used in packing plant are as follows: EQUIPMENT CAPACITY POWER Compressor air pump 44 cubic meter per hour 185 KW Silo 9000 tons ------- Elevator 165 tons/hr 37 KW F K Pump 40-60 cubic meter per hour 55 KW Air lift 130 tons/hr 160 KW Packer 120 tons/hr ------- Silo Bag Filter 115000 cubic meter per hour 37KW Root Blower 29.9 cubic meter per hour 55KW Working: Final product from the silo reaches to the packing plant through bucket elevator and air lift. From there it is shifted to vibrating screen where any leftover metal piece is separated out. Now material is ready for packing and transported to a packer where the packing of material is carried out in cement bags. The bags then fitted by eight nozzle packing machine, then bags are sealed automatically. These bags then discharged from the packer after exact weight of bag is achieved. The trucks then moves on to the dispatch office where they are weighed and then they leave for specific cement outlets.
