Power Transmission Components in the Cement Industry
Quarry and Crusher
Raw material (e.g. limestone, marl) is mined and coarsely crushed into a gravel mixture.
Blending Bed and Raw Mill
Gravel mixture is ground into raw meal and then dried.
Cyclone Preheater and Ventilation System
Raw meal is heated by cyclone preheaters. The CO2 expelled during this process is removed by fans.
Rotary Kiln
Raw meal is burned at high temperatures to cement clinker.
Cement Mill
Burnt cement clinker is ground into cement and mixed with other materials depending on the type of cement.
Bucket Elevator
Conveyor for the vertical transport of cement to the filling plant.
