Introduction

The stations finish grinding consists of the following partial stations

Proportioning plant and transport to the mill

Finish grinding plant with water injection device

Cement transport to the cement silo

Proportioning plant and transport to the mill (2nd line

cement mill)

Proportioning plant is the intermediate between clinker silo and

cement mill for proportioning of the cement raw material to
achieved quality of the cement is more nearly constant.
Gypsum and pumice are transported from quarry and from east showa
area respectively, and then stored in the storage prepared for this.

The pumice and gypsum is then conveyed to the proportioning station

as required by using loader to pour to the yard and then from that the
material is conveyed by belt conveyors (176001) and (176002) to the
1st and 2nd lines proportioning. The material is then diverted to the 1 st
or 2nd line proportioning bins by diverting flap(176201) then the
material is discharged to the gypsum or pumice bin as required by
reversible belt(176003). For the 2nd line proportioning the material
diverted via the flap (176201) and conveyed by belt conveyer
(176202) to the material bins via chute and diverted by reversible belt
conveyer (176203) as required.

The clinker will be withdrawn from either the clinker silo with a
diameter of 15m through 4 openings (2openings in each silo) provided
in the bottom by oscillating (vibrating) chutes (471201/02/03/04)
provided by electromagnetic exciter which sets the chute in to
oscillation or/and from the open storage by oscillating (vibrating)
chutes (471217) proportioned and passed to the belt conveyor
471205/471218 respectively. There is weight-meter that counts the
amount of clinker conveyed to the mill before it is mixed with
additives. Gypsum from its bin (471205) and pumice from its bin
(471206) will charged on this belt conveyor (471205) by controlled
weigh-belt feeder (471208 and 471209) respectively. The mixture of
the clinker, gypsum and pumice is conveyed by the belt conveyor
(471205) to the mill feed hopper and ground in the mill (473201).

The three material conveyor belt (471205) to the mill will also be
equipped with water injection piping.

Dust collecting plants

The proportioning chutes are provided with a linining which is used as
transfer chute to the belt. The dusty air from the clinker feeder is
sucked away through a dust collecting piping. Dust will also be
collected from the two conveyor weight meters and from. Radial
blower sucks the air through the vibratory bag type dust separators.
Clean air is discharged through a waste air stack in to the open. The
dust separated from the dusty air in the vibratory bag type dust
separator is passed by screw conveyor and through the chute to the
belt convertor.

Finish grinding plant

The purpose of grinding is to get a higher surface for any brittle
product to increase the surface area with it the reactivity of this
material also to make it easier to homogenize or to transport by air.

The finish grinding plant consists of closed circuit grinding mill

(473201) with bucket elevator (473226). The material is reduced in a
two compartment tube mill of diameter 3.6m and length of 14m long
with end discharge. The ground material is fed through the end
discharge via chute to the pneumatic conveyor. The compressed air
necessary for the conveyance of the cement is generated by radial
blower (473227) which is equipped with a filter. The pneumatic
convertor conveys the cement via chute to the vertical bucket elevator
(473226) which passes the material via a chute to the pneumatic
conveyor and the radial blower (473228) generates the compressed air
required. From there via chute to the circulating air separator
(473229). The circulating air separator separates the material in to
finished cements and oversized material, the cement conveyed to the
6 cyclones and the flap valves and chutes to the pneumatic conveyors
(47232 and 47233) to (47501/02) which conveys it to the bucket
elevator (473226)to a high of 44m then to the required silo via
diverting flap (4865207),to silo 1:1 by air slide(4865211) and to a
double driven motor(475218/19) screw convey, to silo 1:2 by air
slide(4865208)via throttle valve(475210),to silo 2:2 by air
slide(4865208/09))and to silo 3:2 by air (4865211) via throttle
valve(475212).

The circulating air separator is equipped with a double flap gate

(473230) and reversing valve for oversize material. Oversize material
is passed from the separator via the chute to drag chain (473231)
which conveys the material via the chute to the mill (473201).
Whereas the material that gets the required fines is conveyed to the 6
cyclones. When the above mentioned reversing valve is changed over
it is also possible to convey the material via chute to the bucket
elevator (473226). This conveying route must be used after
breakdowns when the mill is put in operation again.

The circulating air required for the operation of the circulating air
separator is generated by the circulating air blower (473242). This
blower takes in air from the air duct and forces it through the air duct
with motor driven throttle valve to the closed circuit cyclone separator.

An air current is passed through the mill, which is used for the cooling
of and fro the removal of dust from the mill. This air current is
generated by the waste gas blower (473240). The waste air from the
mill passed though the air duct to the standard separator which is pre
clean the air. Then the pre cleaned air is passed through the air duct to
the cloth type dust separator(473243), from which it is carried through
the waste air line to the waste air blower and from there through the
waste air socket and the waste air suck in to open. The air duct is
equipped with a motor driven throttle must be closed when starting up
the system and opened as soon as the system started.
Dust collecting plant
The dust which is collected from the dust collecting points of the finish
grinding plant and separated from the dusty air by the flow classifier
and vibrating bag type dust separator is passed by a collecting screw
conveyor(36,37 and 39) to the pneumatic conveyor(473243) chute of
the cement conveying route between grinding plant and bucket
elevator. Dusty air which is produced during conveyance of the cement
through the pneumatic conveyor is sucked immediately in front of the
transfer point to the bucket elevator (473226). The suction point of the
pneumatic chute is connected with the bucket elevator since the
bucket elevator stacks are also de-dusted by the vibratory bag type
separator of station silo of 44m. The compressed air required for the
conveying the cement through the pneumatic conveyor chute which is
installed on the silo roof, will be passed together with the cement silo.
This dusty air is taken in together with the air to be de-dusted from the
silo and cleaned by vibrating bag type dust collector of station silo 44m

The sampling device

A sampler for checking the quality of cement is built on the pneumatic
conveyor near the bucket elevator tower bottom. This sampler makes
it possible to take samples at any time. The sampler is controlled from
the place of installation, where the samples are taken from the
sampling device,
