Cement

Cement
Cement is manufactured through a closely-controlled chemical combination of calcium, silicon, aluminium, iron and other ingredients. Temperature monitoring at key stages is essential to providing this close control.

Monitoring is also important to control emissions, ensure consistent quality, oversee the condition of the kiln, and prevent fire risk from hot spots in the process.

AMETEK Land has more than 70 years’ experience in supplying the cement industry and OEMs across the world with temperature measurement equipment. Our products deliver reliable, high-quality results that help improve efficiency, process control and extend asset life.

BROCHURE
Cement & Lime Industry BrochureCEMENT & LIME INDUSTRY BROCHURE

Cement and lime manufacturing processes both involve mixing inorganic minerals calcined at high temperatures, typically using rotary kilns. The raw materials may be taken through a number of preheating and precalcining stages before being charged in the rotary kiln.

APPLICATION NOTE
Application Note - Critical Measurement in Cement ManufactureTEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS IN CEMENT MANUFACTURE

Temperature monitoring across the manufacturing process is essential to support process efficiency and cement product quality. It can also help to prolong the life of the kiln through early detection of refractory issues or insufficiently quenched clinker, which could lead to production stoppages if left unchecked. Monitoring solutions also support safety and emissions control.

    • Cement - Kiln Shell
      Kiln Shell

      Continuous monitoring along the length of the kiln provides an indication of any potential refractory lining problems. Our recommendation for this application is the high-resolution LSP-HD 62 linescanner.

      Keep Reading

    • Cement - Stack Emissions
      Stack Emissions

      Emissions control supports product efficiency and pollution control. Our recommended solution is the Model 4500 MkIII depending on process needs.

    • Non-Contact Temperature Measurement Advances in Cement Manufacturing
      On-demand Webinar

      We introduce how advances in accurate non-contact temperature measurements in cement manufacturing ensure consistent quality, oversee the condition and efficiency of the kiln and detect emerging hot spots in materials.

    • Improving Process Efficiency, Monitoring, and Control with Continuous High-resolution Thermal Imaging in Furnaces and Boilers
      Improving Process Efficiency, Monitoring, and Control with Continuous High-resolution Thermal Imaging in Furnaces and Boilers

      We introduces how ground-breaking advances in high-resolution thermal imaging in large furnaces and boilers dramatically improve process efficiency, monitoring and control. It will consider a wide range of continuous process monitoring and controlling applications, used in metal reheat, glass melt and reformer tube furnaces, cement kilns, and coal-fired power and biomass boilers, requiring highly accurate temperature measurement.
