Process Optimization Solutions for the Cement Industry
 


John Murphy III, Production Manager, at Florida Rock Industries, USA:

"Together the technologies have revealed how to operate the plant in a very different, much more efficient way. We have reduced costs and have simultaneously improved product quality even though we are now targeting a very much lower Blaine, the standard industry measure used to quantify fineness."

Cement is a critical component and economic indicator of the construction industry and the cement production process is one of the most energy-intensive sectors within the world economy. Gain the maximum competitive advantage in a tough marketplace:

Measure fineness, estimate strength in real time
Make your final grade strength more consistent
Optimize your finish mill
Automate your grinding operation

Improve consistency, reduce overgrinding and operate efficiently to tighter specifications.

Malvern has a rugged, industrialized analyzer solutions that allow you to make more informed decisions about your plant optimization to improve product quality, and increase plant efficiency and return on investment
