Cement Production
Perfectly mixed, fed accurately and without pulsation,
precisely weighed ”Quality meets Quality“

Perfect cement is the result of four overlapping

processes where Schenck Process measuring
and feeding devices with optimally integrated
weighing technology play a major role.

Process Step 1:
Limestone is mined at a quarry, crushed into
small pieces, and stored in blending beds.
Schenck Process MULTIBELT ® belt scales record
material quantities accurately and reliably under
harsh conditions.

Process Step 2:
The crushed limestone is ground into raw meal.
Additives, such as clay, sand, or iron ore, result
in the desired chemical composition.
The Schenck Process MULTIDOS® weighfeeder
will feed the various materials to the raw mill
accurately and reliably. For poorly flowing
materials, the MULTIDOS® VPD apron feeders
can also be used.
After the material is ground, it is homogenized
in blending silos.

Cement Production
Perfectly mixed, fed accurately and without pulsation,
precisely weighed “Quality meets Quality”

Process Step 3:
The raw mix is placed in rotary kilns and burnt at over 1,000 °C
to produce clinker.
Different types of pulverized coal or secondary fuels are used to
heat the kiln. Schenck Process MULTICOR® mass flow feeding
systems can meter pulverized coal efficiently and without
pulsation directly into the pneumatic lines that lead to the main
burner (at the discharge end of the kiln) and the calcinator (at
the feed end of the kiln). Schenck Process's semi-mobile
compact system can meter secondary fuels such as shredded
plastic, sawdust, and carpet scraps.
Also, the highly precise feeding of the raw meal into the heat
exchanger is done by the Schenck Process MULTICOR® S mass
flow feeding system or the MULTISTREAM® solid feeding
system.

Process Step 4:
The clinker is ground into various types of cement. Apart from
clinker and gypsum, various additives are also ground into the
material (e.g. slag sand, trass, fly ash).
The MULTIDOS® weighfeeder feeds material into the mill
similar to the earlier feeding of material into the raw mill.
For dusty bulk materials, also the MULTICOR® mass flow
feeding system can be used. (Mixing and loading plants also
utilize MULTICOR® system technology and the LAS loading
logistics solution.)

Pulverized Coal Feeding
Guaranteed feeding constancy – for high product quality,
efficient kiln operation and optimal emission values

Primary materials – perfectly

fed and flexibly composed
Pulverized coal types, such as
lignite, anthracite, charcoal,
bituminous coal, oil coke, or
mixtures of these fuels are used,
as are oil shale, coke, and
pulverized anodes, further
broadening the spectrum of
materials.

Applications:
Rotary kiln charging in cement
plants (main burner and
calcinator)
Rotary kiln charging in lime
plants (main burner)
Shaft kiln charging in cement
or lime plants
Feeding of pre-heaters
or reactors

Truly efficient use of the many varieties of pulverized coal

requires a feeding technology whose reliability is equaled
only by its accuracy. Stable temperatures, minimal excess
air, and low oxygen content at the feed end of the kiln are all
required to achieve consistently high product quality. The
MULTICOR® Coriolis pulverized coal feeding system easily
handles these requirements when paired with the pneumatic
transfer system. It has a guaranteed feeding accuracy of
±0.5% and short-term feeding constancy of ±1%, while still
complying with limit values for SO2, NOX and CO in the kiln
and its emissions.

Using alternative fuels in your kiln or boiler provide great savings potential on
energy costs. Possibilities range from conventional solid secondary fuels, such
as shredded plastic and production waste, old tires, swarf, animal meals, and
processed domestic waste – a broad spectrum of fuels that pose extremely
difficult challenges to the feeding and conveying systems.

The semi-mobile compact system is an extremely effective and proven overall

concept for the economical use of alternative secondary fuels in cement pro-
duction plants.

Schenck Process offers flexible solutions, which include permanent, fixed-

location systems as well as semi-mobile systems.
Getting the job done – with a minimum of investment

Neither reserve silos nor structural changes are required at

the site for the semi-mobile system, and it only requires
9 x 6 m of space.
The secondary fuels are discharged directly from tractor-
trailers (1) with “walking floors.” The vehicles are docked at
the two unloading stations for this purpose. Via the extraction
screws (2) and the troughed chain conveyor (3), the material
is fed to the MULTIDOS® weighfeeder (4). The weighfeeder
feeds the appropriate amount of fuel into the blow-through
star feeder (5), where it is conveyed directly to the burner (6).
The entire system is run from the control station; no extra
personnel are required. The tractor-trailer operator handles
fuel deliveries and trailer changes.

MULTIDOS® VDP
An apron weighfeeder for poor-flowing materials –
because there’s no such word as ”impossible“

Schenck Process apron weighfeeders are used for continuous gravimetric feeding of
poorly flowing bulk materials from silos. The MULTIDOS® system makes the
impossible possible: it reliably feeds even ”sticky“ materials such as clay, marl, trass
or sludge with the high accuracy a weighfeeder can provide. Extraction apron
feeders used as prefeeders for conventional weighfeeders or volumetric prefeeders
are no longer needed. Weighing technology integrated in the track allows VDP
apron weighfeeders to perform both silo discharge and gravimetric feeding
functions. This results in signifcantly better feeding accuracy compared with
volumetric extraction apron feeders, which ultimately means a stable, repeatable
improvement in quality in the mixing plants and an excellent return on investment.

Possible Applications
Charging of raw and cement mills in cement plants
Feeding of bauxite in aluminum plants
Feeding of poor-flowing materials in mines and quarries
Feeding of returns/sludges in metallurgical plants
 Advantages
Combination of silo discharge and gravimetrically controlled
feeding in one aggregate
Low investment costs compared to separate aggregates

MULTICOR® S
Mass flow meter based upon the Coriolis principle for
many dry materials and applications

Active principle of the Coriolis

force

The bulk solids hit a rotation mea-

suring wheel. Due to the centrifugal
force the bulk solids particles on the
vane are moved outward. On the mea-
suring wheel – by the acceleration in
direction of the circumference – the
bulk solids are subject to the Coriolis
force. This force as measurable size is
seized proportional to the gravimetric
feed rate even with changing bulk den-
sity or different grain size.

MULTICOR® S with Prefeeder

Highly accurate feeding according to the Coriolis principle. MULTICOR® S by Schenck

Process measures the material flow with an accuracy of ±0.5%; precisely and econo-
mically. Whether it be measuring of throughput and consumption for in-plant inven-
tory, measuring of returns in mills, continuous feeding and charging of materials in a
process, or optimization of loading processes. With MULTICOR® S and the Coriolis
technology mass flows are exactly measured and fed in conjunction with an adjustable
prefeeder.

MULTISTREAM® G
Continuous solids flow feeding – without impact – for stable results

The MULTISTREAM® G series establisher continuous bulk solids streams using non-
impact force measurement on an in-line measuring chute that “gently” deflects the
material stream. The system ensures that impact factors, which vary depending up-
on the bulk solids, are not incorporated into the results. This means that
MULTISTREAM® G generates better reproducible data improving your product quality.
With its dust-tight, robust construction, MULTISTREAM® G in conjunction with
a flow-controlled prefeeder becomes a feeding system and can even be specially
equipped for hot materials. Naturally, we supply everything from a single source:
planned, delivered, and supported by Schenck Process.
