Interactions Apr 01, 2018 Technology trends in cement manufacturing The cement industry in the world has grown phenomenally in the last decade and the production level of all varieties of Portland cements taken together has crossed four billion tonnes, which is the largest volume amongst all manmade materials.
Interactions Feb 01, 2018 Why Indian cement plants excel? The Indian cement industry excels because of innovation. There is strong urge to think out of the box. The skill level is very high and training and retraining keep them abreast with the latest in technology.
Interactions Jan 01, 2018 Indian refractory manufacturers can become global players Over the period of last one year, manufacturers have either been changing over to alternative fuels or, in some areas, to pet coke. Since the need for better and high-performance refractory is increasing, manufacturers are now focusing on performance-based products.
Interactions Jan 01, 2018 Plants must have flexibility to utilise all alternative fuels As far as ATS is concerned, in India, we are in regular contact with cement manufacturers mainly in Gujarat, Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. Cement plants located in in these regions mainly use agriculture waste and Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) such as shredded tyres.
Interactions Jan 01, 2018 India can start competing with China in cement manufacturing The biggest global cement trend is overcapacity and the rise of China as a cement making superpower. I have spent a lot of time in China and the country is completely revamping its entire cement business to provide greater capacity and quality.
Interactions Jan 01, 2018 A paradigm shift could happen in kilns We are focusing on the clinker cooler, which is an important equipment when determining the overall fuel consumption of the pyro line because it recuperates heat of the clinker coming from kiln to the cooler.
Interactions Jan 01, 2018 Driving expansion with new technologies Vesuvius is a well-known refractory solutions provider in blast furnace, ladle and tundish areas in iron and steel industry. For the cement industry, we offer specialised solutions like fast repair techniques and special castable.
Interactions Jan 01, 2018 We remain problem solvers for the industry We believe that we have enhanced the performance of equipment in cement plants with our lubricants by giving them a longer life.
Interactions Jan 01, 2018 Local equipment makers could do with govt boost As far as the Indian cement industry is concerned, it proactively factored in the advancements in technology a decade ago. That's why plants with 10,000 tonne per day capacity continue to operate with the same number of personnel as earlier.
