Raw meal production & clinker composition

Once the massive quantities of raw materials have been crushed and ground as required, the cement producer must blend them in the required proportions to produce the type of clinker desired. While in theory the cement producer has almost complete control over clinker composition, in practice clinker composition is largely determined by the composition of the raw materials available locally. Some of the most common types of cement include, for example, portland cement, calcium aluminate cements, lime concrete/mortar and expansive cements.

The blended raw materials are usually stored in a silo before being fed into the kiln – the next step on their One Source journey. Every step of the way, FLSmidth strives to minimise energy consumption and maximise equipment availability.
