10-Cement Mill Department

grabcad

The cement mill department houses a separate building for drive and compressors. In this area, clinker, gypsum, and pozzolona are measured and fed into the cement mill from the hopper building. The material is ground, with fine particles sent to the pump tank via air slide and bucket elevator, while coarse materials are re-fed. Filters and a separator manage fines, with coarse material returned to the mill inlet. A fan maintains negative pressure and supplies air to the separator and chimney. Trucks remove rejects, and there's an adjacent substation and compressor house. Finally, cement is collected in the pump and transported to silos via a transport pipe.
