The cement manufacturing process begins when limestone, the basic raw material used to make cement, is either quarried from an open pit quarry from an underground mine. Limestone should be crushed and grinded before further usage. Crusher reduces the size of the limestone from1m to 15mm. The limestone is combined with clay, ground in a crusher and fed into the additive silo, sand, iron and bottom ash are then combined with the limestone and clay in a carefully controlled mixture which is ground into a fine powder in a 2000hp roller mill.

Next, the fine powder is heated as it passes through the pre-heater tower into a large kiln, which is over half the length of a football field and 4.2 meters in diameter. In kiln, the powder is heated from 1350 to 1450 degree Celsius. This creates a new product, called clinker which resembles pelletes about the size of marbles.

The clinker is combined with small amounts of gypsum and limestone and finely ground in a finishing mill. The mill is a large revolving cylinder containing 250 tons of steel balls that is driven by a 4000hp motor.
