Cement Manufacturing

Cement manufacturing begins with extracting raw materials like limestone, clay, and minerals from quarries. These materials are crushed and heated in a kiln at high temperatures, transforming them into clinker—a hard, nodular substance. The clinker is then ground into a fine powder and mixed with small amounts of gypsum to control setting times. This powdered mixture, called cement, is packaged for use in construction. The process involves precise control of raw material proportions, heating, and grinding to produce a durable binding material vital for building infrastructure.
