Cement industry

Jun 17, 2020

Our modern world is inconceivable without cement. It is the basic building material for the most varied construction tasks and is the most important component for manufacturing concrete.

The cement industry forms an important part of our economy. The continued anticipated growth of the cement market this year will place more demands on cement facilities to meet higher industry standards. New technologies and industry innovations are being introduced every day.

Cement plants take pride in an exceptional record of efficiency, safety and productivity while always seeking the newest techniques, systems and equipment. ASGCO® strives to help your plant meet those goals through the development of high-quality products and services.

PRODUCTION OF CEMENT BY THE DRY PROCESS.

The most common way to manufacture cement is through the dry method. Although the dry process is the most modern and popular way to manufacture cement, some kilns in the United States use a wet process. The two processes are essentially alike except in the wet process, the raw materials are ground with water before being fed into the kiln.

Concrete is produced in four basic forms:

Ready-mixed concrete – the most common form, accounts for nearly three-fourths of all concrete. It’s batched at local plants for delivery in the familiar trucks with revolving drums.

Precast concrete products – are cast in a factory setting. These products are best known for their conventional 8-by-8-by-16-inch block but can be molded into a wealth of shapes, configurations, colors, and textures.

Cement-based materials – in this category include mortar, grout, and terrazzo, soil-cement and roller-compacted concrete for use in pavements and dams. Also included in this category are flowable fill and cement-treated bases.

A new generation of advanced products – incorporates fibers and special aggregate to create roofing tiles, shake shingles, lap siding, and countertops
