The cement industry significantly contributes to local and regional economies through the wide geographic spread of its plants.
Producing a cement that meets specific chemical and physical properties requires careful control of the manufacturing process. The first step is obtaining raw materials.
Raw materials are generally exploited in a quarry near the plant. Then, raw materials are crushed and milled down to a meal with controlled chemical composition.
After blending, the meal undergoes physical and chemical reactions in a kiln to produce cement clinker.
Cooling, storing and fine grinding with the addition of small amount of gypsum and special constituents are the last steps to obtain the final product ready to be stored in silos and loaded into road tankers or packed into bags for shipment.
