calcareous. In argillaceous materials, clay predominates and in calcareous, calcium
carbonate predominates. A typical chemical analysis of a good Ordinary Portland Cement

What is mining???
Any excavation for the purpose of extracting minerals is termed
as mining process.
ULTRATECH Unit Rajashree Cement Works, has a
total mining area of 1800 acres. Out of which, only
354 acres has been utilized since 1981.
Flow chart of
Geological Activity
Drilli
ng
•Purpose:- The drilling is done for the survey of the reserve
limestone at the location and for the charging of explosive for
blasting.
Blasti
ng
Why ?
•Because the hardness of limestone is higher in the reserve
found in our mines so surface mining method is not preferred.
•PROCESS OF BLASTING
The process of blasting comprises of certain steps.
1. MARKING
2. DRILLING
3. EXPLOSIVES

•HEMM stands for Heavy Earth Moving Machines.
•HEMM are the heavy duty equipments used for performing
drilling, excavation, dozing, loading, transportation etc. in
mines.

Components
Stacker &
Reclaimer
STACKING AND
RECLAIMING
• After Crushing it is passed to the Stackers for stacking through the conveying belts.
The Rajashree Cement has six limestone stockpiles, namely 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 3A &
3B. The material from 1A and 1B is fed to Unit-2, 2A & 2B to Unit-1 and 3A & 3B to
Unit-3. The crushed material is stored in these stock piles with the help of automatic
stackers where the limestone of High and Low grade is stored.
Raw Mill
Raw
Mill
Principle:- Its major working is based on crushing of material between
grinding rollers and the table or grinding bowl.
The crusher product is further reduced by grinding in ball mills/vertical roller
mills/ ball mill – roller press to a fineness below 0.2mm size (raw meal) and
is ready for feeding to the kiln after homogenization.
Types of Raw Mill:-
▪ Roller mill
▪ Ball mill

ROLLER
PRESS
• High pressure roller grinding of cement & clinker and hard brittle
material. It is a modern & very energy-efficient process.
• Significant development from a pre-grinding process to a range of
applications
• Including semi-finish grinding and finish grinding.
The roller press is a flexible solution, highly suitable both for upgrades
and for new installations. Upgrading may increase capacity by up to 100
percent, while the total specific energy consumption of new installations
may be reduced by 20-30 percent compared with conventional grinding
systems.
Ball
Mill
• Ball mill is a key grinding mill for regrinding, usually when materials after 2 or 3
stage
• of crushing and grinding. Ball mill is efficiency to grinding many stones and rocks
into
• powder, like quartz, feldspar, coke coal, gold, copper, and so on
• Ball milling application
Our ball mill’s output size is range from 0.075mm to 0.4mm; it is widely used for Gold
mining, coal grinding, cement, powder making, glass industry and export to
Philippines, Pakistan, India, Iran, South Africa, Indonesia, Malaysia, Australia etc.
Our ball mill can grind ore, stone, and rock, mineral or other materials that can be
Grinded either by wet process or by dry dress.
Ball mill features
and benefits
1. Highly reliable
2. Easy operation, easy maintenance
3. Wear-resistant parts – durable shell lining
4. Open or closed circuit operation
5. Grinds to any level of fineness
6. Energy efficient; large through-flow area ensures low
pressure drop
Adapts to capacity, plant layout and end product

CHARACTERSTICK OF CEMENT
COMPONENTS
C3S:
High early strength
Its range is 50-55% in cement
If % is higher , it’s difficult to burn
C2S:
If C2S is higher, then C3S will be under burning.
At higher temperature and quenching, C2S get transferred in
C3S
It contains 20-22% of the total clinker.
C3A:
It is responsible for giving plasticity
Its range is 6-8%, more plastic cement.
High C3A, means low resistant against sulphate attack
Low C3A means higher resistant against sulphate attack.
C4AF:
It imparts colour to the cement.
Greater the range, higher will be the darkness to the cement

CLINKER COOLERS
–Types Of Cooler
•Reciprocating Grate Cooler
•IKN Cooler
Perforated Grates moving one over other creating forward motion for clinker.
Air with high velocity flows vertically up 90 degree to Clinker flow.
Reciprocating
Grate Cooler
Grates doesn’t move. Forward motion for clinker is created by Horizontal Air Jet with
very high velocity.
Air with very high velocity flows parallel to Clinker flow & then moves vertically up.
IKN
Cooler
Cement Mill
• Clinker is ground with gypsum (calcium sulfate) to produce Portland
cement
• Fine grinding is necessary for high early strength
• 85-95% -325 mesh (45 microns)
• ~ 7 trillion particles per pound
• Gypsum absorbs water and prevents setting of C3A during shipment

GRINDING
TYPES OF GRINDING
MILLS
– Ball mills
– Vertical roller mills
– Combination of Roller press & Ball mill
BALL
MILL
Ball or tube mills are horizontally rotating steel cylinders where size reduction of a
given material is performed by motion of the grinding media. Rotation of the mill
cylinder raises the pile of mill feed and grinding media to an optimum height,
necessary for grinding operation. Grinding is performed by impact and friction
between the grinding balls which hit one against another, as well as between the
grinding media and the mill lining itself
VERTICAL ROLLER
MILL
Vertical roller mills are having rollers which travel in a horizontal circular path on a bed
of feed material with which they are pressed in contact by vertical forces applied
externally to them and the material being committed by the combination of
compressive and shear action
