Step 1: Raw Material Crushing. After cement raw materials are mined, most of them should be crushed into small particle sizes. Coal, the main fuel for cement production, also needs to be broken in advance. In this step, all of them should be crushed by special crushing mills and then transported to the pre-homogenization yard by belt conveyor.

Material is directly conveyed to the silos (silos are the large storage tanks of cement) from the grinding mills. Further, it is packed to about 20-40 kg bags. Only a small percent of cement is packed in the bags only for those customers whom need is very small. The remaining cement is shipped in bulk quantities by mean of trucks, rails or ships.

An important tool to manage raw materials for cement production in any cement plant is the raw mill. Here, the raw materials are brought to the desired dimensions and then placed in the oven. During the size reduction process, dust emissions are managed by air pollution control equipment, bag filters, or electrostatic filters.

As stated by Su et al. [7], the cement manufacturing process can be divided into three major stages: raw material processing, clinker production, and finish grinding processing (finished cement production). A schematic representation of the cement production pro-cess is illustrated in Figure 1.

Cement conveyor refers to a belt conveyor in cement plant, which is necessary accessory equipment in the cement production line.. Belt conveyor is a kind of material handling equipment with strong adaptability, apply for conveying bulk density less than 1.67t / m³, it is mostly used for powder, granular, small lump materials and bagged materials, such as …
