Mini Cement Plant

Mini cement plants are also called small cement plants. The mini cement plant has a production capacity of 100-700 tpd. Because of their small output capacities, the cement production line in a mini cement plant is simpler and cheaper. Mini cement plants are easy to set up, operate, and adjust. It has characteristics of high reliability and high efficiency. Mini cement plants are more and more popular.

Mini Cement Plant Benefits

Compared with large equipment, small production line equipment occupies a smaller area. So smaller equipment makes more flexible choices for location.

The cost is associated with the output of the cement plant. The mini cement plant cost is less than Large and medium-sized cement plants, including equipment procurement, and installation. In addition, the mini cement needs less labor cost.

These plants are simply engineered, making them easier to maintain and reducing the need for repairs. You can get a lower maintenance fee with a small cement plant.

Mini Cement Plant Process

STEP1: Raw Material Preparation

The main raw materials include limestone, ‌clay, iron ore, and so on. First of all, ‌raw materials are sent to the crusher for crushing ‌and then sent to the mill for fine grinding. Cement crushing mainly breaks the cement raw material into the appropriate particle size.
The raw materials are mixed after crushing and grinding. This makes an even composition of the cement. There is a 3:1 ratio of ‌limestone to clay and a 1-2% ratio of ‌iron ore.

STEP2:Calcination

After the raw materials mix, the shaft kiln is responsible for calcining. In the shaft kiln, raw materials are calcinated under high temperatures and react in chemical reactions. Finally, raw materials turn into a clinker. Clinker is the main component of cement. It is limestone, clay, and other raw materials after calcination at high temperatures.

STEP3: Clinker Grinding

Clinker grinding is grinding the calcined cement clinker. It uses a grinder to make the clinker reach the required size and surface area of the cement. The grated clinker can be used in cement production.

STEP4: Packing

The packaging machine is used to package the produced cement into bagged cement or bulk cement.‌

Cement Making Machine

Cement Crusher

Small cement plant crushers are the important equipment of the cement production line. It is used to turn raw materials into particles of the desired size. Common crushers include jaw crushers and impact crushers.

Shaft Kiln

The shaft kiln makes the effective calcination of materials in the kiln. Material decomposes, ‌fires in the kiln, and finally fires into cement clinker. ‌Fuel is injected from the kiln head, and ‌burned in the kiln, the heat emitted heats the raw material, ‌calcined the raw material into clinker. The heat emitted is responsible for heating ‌and calcining the raw material into clinker. ‌This design is conducive to the full calcination of the material.

Cooling Machine

The cement production process will generate a lot of heat, and this will lead to equipment overheating, affecting its service life and efficiency of production. The main function of the cooling machine is to discharge the hot cement from the rotary kiln and cooling in the cooling machine, reducing the temperature from 1400℃-1500℃ to below 200℃. This can effectively prevent the overheating of industrial equipment, making cement production continuously proceed.

Cement Mill

A cement mill is a key equipment used in production for grinding cement, mainly including a cement ball mill and cement vertical mill. ‌The cement grinding is the last step. In this process, the cement clinker uses a cement mill to ground a specific particle size. This can speed up the hydration reaction of cement.

Packing Machine

The packaging machine is used to package the produced cement into bagged cement or bulk cement. Packaging machines commonly used are vertical packaging machines, rotary packaging machines and hydraulic automatic packaging machines.

cement plant cost

The budget of the cement plant involves many aspects to ensure the smooth construction and operation of the cement plant including capital expenditure budget, production cost budget, investment construction budget, etc.
