c To study about material handling system in cement industry.

c To analyze the material handling equipment in cement industry.


 


In the most general sense of the word, j
 is a binder, a substance that sets and hardens
independently, and can bind other materials together. Cement used in construction is characterized as

j or  
j. Hydraulic cements (e.g. Portland cement) harden because of hydration
chemical reactions that occur independently of the admixture's water content; Non-hydraulic cements
(e.g. lime and gypsum plaster) must be kept dry in order to retain its strength.

There are K cement industries in Bangladesh1. Material handling is one of the most important
tasks in cement industry.  
 
 is the movement, storage, control and protection of
materials, goods and products throughout the process of manufacturing, distribution, consumption and
disposal2 .

   

 


Material handling equipment (MHE) is used for the movement and storage of material within
a facility or at a site. MHE can be classified into the following five major categories3:

1.c Transport Equipment. Equipment used to move material from one location to another (e.g.,
between workplaces, between a loading dock and a storage area, etc.). The major
subcategories of transport equipment are conveyors, cranes, and industrial trucks. Material
can also be transported manually using no equipment.
2.c ositioning Equipment. Equipment used to handle material at a single location so that it is in
the correct position for subsequent handling, machining, transport, or storage. Unlike
transport equipment, positioning equipment is usually used for handling at a single
workplace. Material can also be positioned manually using no equipment
3.c rnit Load Formation Equipment. Equipment used to restrict materials so that they maintain
their integrity when handled a single load during transport and for storage. If materials are
self-restraining (e.g., a single part or interlocking parts), then they can be formed into a unit
load with no equipment.
4.c torage Equipment. Equipment used for holding or buffering materials over a period of time.
Some storage equipment may include the transport of materials (e.g., the S/R machines of an
AS/RS, or storage carousels). If materials are block stacked directly on the floor, then no
storage equipment is required.
5.c dentification and Control Equipment. Equipment used to collect and communicate the
information that is used to coordinate the flow of materials within a facility and between a
facility and its suppliers and customers. The identification of materials and associated control
can be performed manually with no specialized equipment.

Elevator conveyor is a precise solution to the vertical movement of dry and free flowing bulk
materials for the Cement Industry. The Bucket Elevator is constructed using stainless steel or mild
steel buckets attached to a belt or chain. Encased in a steel enclosure the elevated material is protected
from the atmosphere, giving the Bucket Elevator the ability to be used internally or externally of
buildings. In cement industry processing materials are uplifted vertically to feed in preheater. For a
uplifting operation elevator conveyor are used in cement industry. As shown in fig:

Screw Conveyors have a variety of uses.

Variations in the flight design allow Screw
Conveyors to:

c Convey
c Mix
c Feed
c Elevate\

With the bespoke construction of the screw

conveyor it is possible to have multiple in
feeds and a single out feed.

In cement industry tons of material are

processed the upper listed operation.
When a semi liquid material is dried in a
dryer obtained clinker is stored in a
storage through screw conveyor.



A 
 is a structure for storing bulk materials. Silos are
used in agriculture to store grain or fermented feed known
as silage. Silos are more commonly used for bulk storage
of grain, coal, cement, carbon black, woodchips, food
products and sawdust. Three types of silos are in
widespread use today - tower silos, bunker silos and bag
silos.

The cement storage silo is used for storing the finished

product cement

Conclusion:

Material handling system is a basic component in cement Industry. Tons of bulk material are
conveyed , uplifted, and stored in cement Industry so material handling equipment like Conveyor,
Elevator, ilos are the essential part of cement Industry.

In this seminar we have defined a theoretical portion of material handling system in cement industry.
We searched in internet for required information of our topics. Finally we decided to take a chhatak
cement Industry as a case study in a second portion of this seminar.
