Dry Cement Plants
Rospen is capable of dust-tight and precise handling of abrasive cement powder in cement, concrete, and construction product plants.
Dry cement is abrasive, dusty, and is normally conveyed at high throughputs, which impose significant loads on conveying, storage, and dosing equipment. Rospen designs and supplies pneumatic conveying, weighing, and metering systems capable of moving dry cement safely and efficiently between tanker unloading and silos, mixers, and process lines.
Consistent Moving of the Intake to Silo
Cement plants need to unload and convey large amounts of dry cement in bulk, using road or rail tankers, into storage and process silos. Rospen conveying solutions are designed to ensure that cement flows with the least wear and downtime.
- High-capacity dry cement pneumatic conveying systems between tanker unloading points and storage silos and between stages of the process.
- Overcoming the aggressive characteristics of cement powder to mitigate the likelihood of erosion and blockage of pipework.
- Low-velocity or dense-phase conveying options, where suitable, to minimise material degradation and increase equipment life.
Proper Feed to Mixers and Production Lines
Cement and concrete based products rely on controlled cement dosing to achieve uniform strength and performance. Rospen offers heavy-duty weighing and metering equipment to deliver stable, repeatable cement flows to downstream processes.
- Dry cement weighing and dosing systems feed into concrete mixers, blending plants and bagging or dispatch lines.
- Loss-in-weight and screw feeders with wear-resistant components for continuous operation with abrasive cement.
- Automation of the plant to regulate cement feed rates and document dosing information to optimise quality and processes.
Controlling Dust in Cleaner, Safer Plants
Dry cement produces fine dust, which can affect health, cleanliness and equipment stability unless well controlled. Rospen system layouts and equipment selections are geared towards dust control and safe operation.
- Enclosed transfer points, hopper filling systems and silo filling to minimise fugitive dusts.
- Dust extraction and filtration interfaces at major loading, unloading, and discharging points.
- Designs that take into account the pressure, venting and explosion protection needs of pneumatic conveying and storage of dry cement.
Full Plants of Cement
Rospen’s background in construction materials handling means it can provide the full range of dry cement handling systems, from concept through to commissioning. Solutions are customised to the requirements of cement, concrete and building product manufacturers.
- New or upgraded dry cement intake, conveying, storage and dosing equipment design and selection.
- Mechanical, electrical and control integration: to make sure weighing, conveying and process equipment integrate to form one system.
- Continuous maintenance and care to ensure accuracy, reliability and availability in stringent plant environments.
