    The document describes the key components of a cement manufacturing process, specifically the kiln and raw mill system. It presents the system as a block diagram showing the flow of materials from raw materials through raw mill, preheater, precalciner, rotary kiln, and cooler to produce clinker. Exhaust gases from the preheater dry raw materials in the raw mill and coal in the coal mill before being cleaned. Variations exist in modern factory configurations and equipment within each component. Understanding the combinations and interactions between components is as important as the individual pieces.

    14. Kiln & Raw Mill System

    We have now reached the heart of the cement


    manufacturing process, the combined kiln and raw mill
    system. We have discussed raw mills and kiln feed
    homogenisation silos, but these equipment items cannot be
    considered in isolation.

    We can visualize the entire system as a block diagram with a block for each
    equipment item. Firstly we can follow the feed through the system as it is
    converted from raw materials to kiln feed raw meal to clinker.

    The exhaust gases from the preheater are ducted to the raw mill to dry the raw
    materials, and then to the exhaust gas cleaning in the precipitator or bag filter.
    When the raw mill is stopped the exhaust gases are routed through the
    conditioning tower with precipitators, or air-to-air heat exchangers. Some of the
    preheater exhaust gas is separately ducted to the coal mill for drying the coal in
    inert coal grinding systems, and then to its own exhaust gas filter.

    The raw coal is delivered into the coal grinding system and the fine coal to the
    kiln main burner and the precalciner. Cooling air is blown into the cooler from
    atmosphere. Combustion air is drawn from the cooler to the main burner of the
    rotary kiln and separately via the tertiary air duct to the precalciner. More air is
    required for cooling the clinker than is needed for combustion in the kiln main
    burner and precalciner and the excess air is separately exhausted to its own gas
    cleaning.

    On modern cement factories there are many variants of the system block
    diagram. There are also variants on the individual equipment items within each
    block. During the next sessions of the course it will be our intention to explain the
    different combinations and equipment that is found on cement factories around
    the world.

    An understanding of the combinations and the overlap of the different equipment


    items is as important as the individual items themselves.
