| There can be many kind of cement plant but first let | | | | dumpers and rails which transport the material and |
| us know the definition of cement plant - A general | | | | unload into hoppers of the limestone crushers. |
| definition for a cement plant is A integrated facility that | | | | • Crushers crush the limestone to minus 80 mm |
| prepares the raw mix, feeds it to the pyro-processing | | | | size and discharge the material onto a belt conveyor |
| system (kiln), and then grinds the clinker from the kiln | | | | which takes it to the stacker via the Bulk material |
| system into various cement products. Cement is | | | | analyzer. Limestone is extracted transversely from the |
| transport or shipped by road, rail or barge to | | | | stockpiles by the reclaimers and conveyed to the |
| customers, or to regional terminals for customer | | | | Raw Mill hoppers for grinding of raw meal. |
| pick-up. Finished cement is stored on site in large silos | | | | • Cement clinker requires heat and coal is used as |
| or bagged. Most cement plants have quarries located | | | | the fuel for providing heat. Raw Coal is dropped on a |
| nearby to supply the limestone and other raw | | | | belt conveyor from a hopper and it is taken to crushed |
| materials. | | | | in a crusher. Crushed coal discharged from the Coal |
| Type of cement Plant – | | | | Crusher is stored in a longitudinal stockpile from where |

| • Portland cement Plant | | | | hoppers for grinding of fine coal. |
| • Clinker Cement Plant | | | | • Clinker is combined with gypsum and limestone |
| • Rotary Kiln Plant | | | | and ground in a finishing mill. Where large revolving |
