The principal raw materials for cement manufacturing are: Limestone; Silica and alumina from basalt, shale or sand; Iron from iron ore or steel mill scale. Sand stone; Pumice (volcanic ash for Portland Pozzolana cement ) Gypsum . General Properties of Raw Material Sources. Limestone; The basic raw material of the cement production is limestone.

Mill Feeding Hoppers. Hoppers for limestone/ clay/ iron ore serve the purpose of providing a buffer storage for mill feed and a convenient arrangement for feeding to weigh feeders for proportioning purpose. Hoppers used to be designed to hold the requirements of one shift.

Cement mill feeding section facilitates a reliable feeding of clinker, gypsum and other additive like limestone, slag, fly ash etc. Mill feeding consists of material hoppers, weighing, conveying to mill.

 — The choice between a ball mill and VRM is governed by many factors such as the moisture content of the raw material, the size of the plant, the abrasiveness of the material, the energy consumption levels, reliability, and finally financial considerations.

Providing a comprehensive guide to the entire cement production process from raw material extraction to the finished product, the industry's favourite technical reference book is now fully updated with new material and an extended chapter on alternative fuels.

 — The raw mill is a crucial piece of equipment in cement plants for grinding raw materials into fine powder. Its operation principle involves crushing and grinding materials such as limestone, clay, and iron ore into fine powder, which is then mixed with water and fed into the kiln.

A raw mill with a superior fineness and well-controlled chemical composition using as advanced control system can improve the cement quality and define critical cement craft parameters. Amrit Cement uses the best of raw materials and has an enviable infrastructure supported by advanced technologies to ensure supreme cement quality.

Cement ball mill and cement vertical mill are two raw mills commonly used in cement plants. As the main cement equipment in the cement production line, the two cement raw mills have different characteristics.

Raw mill sweep with preheater exhaust is called compound operation. The raw grinding and clinker burning operations become interdependent and constant kiln operation is required to ensure control of mill temperature and pressure.
