An MoU was signed between Star Cement Limited and the Government of Assam for an investment worth Rs 1 400 crore US$ million for setting up a Cement Grinding unit in Guwahati and another Cement Grinding unit in Cachar and AEC Block and other construction manufacturing units in Guwahati
·Therefore efficient grinding techniques and technologies are employed to minimize energy use and reduce production costs contributing to the sustainability of the cement industry Types of Clinker Grinding Techniques used in cement manufacturing process Clinker grinders are an important part of the cement manufacturing process
Grinding Operation Objectives and KPIs Highly energy intensive unit operation of size reduction in cement industry is intended to provide a homogeneous dry <% moisture and super fine 10 20% residue on 90 micron sieve raw meal powder for clinkerization process in kiln Dry Process Grinding operation is monitored for following
2 ·UltraTech has a consolidated capacity of Million Tonnes Per Annum MTPA of grey cement UltraTech has 24 integrated manufacturing units 33 grinding units one Clinkerisation unit and 8 Bulk Packaging Terminals UltraTech has a network of over one lakh channel partners across the country and has a market reach of more than 80%
·All grinding processes in the cement industry are operated dry A two compartment ball mill with a highly efficient separator is still procured for new cement grinding units installation although the vertical roller mill has now become a true competitor and alternative for ball mill and has increased its market share in the cement mills in
·The grinding unit s proximity to the market means a shorter time spent transporting the cement to the market Further closer to the market are RMC plants RMC or ready mix concrete is a mixture of cement sand gravel water and other ingredients that make a paste used to bond the bricks in a wall
·Condition in one of the grinding chambers of the mill Results of Optimization The graphical analysis presented in Figure 2 represents progress of grinding along the length of the mill after optimizing the grinding process rogress of grinding is clearly visible in Desired p the graphs Figure 2 Analysis of longitudinal samples
The benefits of digitalisation driven plant optimisation in the cement industry span not only improvement in process asset plant and enterprise wide performance but can have an important positive impact on sustainability values High levels of digitalisation result in higher efficiency gains reducing energy consumption while allowing
