INTRODUCTION
8
Associated Cement Companies (ACC) is one of the leading Cement
producers in India. They excavate lime stones from the Madukkarai Limestone mines.
The initial stage in cement production is crushing the larger limestones into smaller
ones.
When too many stones from the Quarry approach the crusher through the laminated
conveyor, there may be accumulation in the hopper section of the Jaw Crusher due to
continuous flow of stones. This accumulation of stones may at times damage the Jaw
plates and the laminated conveyors. due to which, the crusher control room has to
monitor the jaw crusher and manually adjust the laminated conveyor speed.
To eliminate such problems,we have placed sensors at three levels in the hopper area
of the Jaw Crusher which will sense the level of accumulation in the Jaw Crusher and
gives the feedback to the Crusher Controller. Thus the speed of the laminated

ABOUT THE COMPANY
11
Associated Cement Companies (ACC), one of the leading Cement producers in
India came into existence consequent to the amalgamation of ten cement companies in
1936. Manufacturing and marketing of cement, redymix concrete, refractories and
refractory products are the main business of ACC. Further the company is also into
consultancy and engineering services.ACC's manufacturing base consists 14 cement
plants spread well all over India, two refractory plants one each at Maharashtra and
MP and 6 RMC plants near to four metros of India and Bangalore. The total cement
capacity of ACC stands at 161.47 lakh tonnes at March 31, 2003.
In Jan. 1999, the company came out with a rights issue to fund its capex
projects involving modernisation/ expansion of existing plants and creation of new
capacity at Wadi. The company meets around 83% of its power requirements from its
captive power plants. The captive power plant at Jamul and Kymore with a capacity
of 25 MW each was commissioned in Nov 1999. The 15 MW capitive powerplants at
Chanda, Tikaria and Madukkarai were commissioned during the year 2002-03.In
2000, Tata group has exited from the company by divesting their 14% equity stake in
favour of Gujarat Ambuja group.
Notably, Gujarat Ambuja group is the most efficient and aggressive cement
group in India. The disinvestment was done in phases at Rs 370 per share.
ACC has completed the modernization and expansion of the Chanda and
Madukkarai cement plants for increasing their capacities to around 1 MTPA each.
These plants started production from 1 September 2000 and 1 October 2000
respectively. The de-bottlenecking at Chanda, Gagal and Madukarrai plants have
added 1 MT to ACC's installed capacity. The 2.6 MTPA Cement plant at Wadi with
largest Kiln in the country has started its commercial production from Oct 2001.The
Company has decided to exit from the non-core businesses in an optimal manner. The
company has completed divestment of its stake in Float glass India Ltd (13% stake in
2001-02), International Ferrites Ltd. (35% stake in 2002-03) and Bridgestone ACC
India Ltd. (19% stake in 2002-03). Further it has also sold its stake (5,00,000
12
E.Shares) in Tata Industries in 2001-02. The company is making all efforts to hive off
the ACC Nihon Casting, a 100% subsidiary of ACC manufacturing alloy steel casting
but has not met success yet. At the same time of existing from non-core businesses the
company has not failed to invest in core activities it has acquired 76.01% stake in
Eternit Everest from Etex Group in Feb 2002. Consequent to the acquisition the
Eternit Everest became the subsidiary of ACC w.e.f from Feb 12, 2002.
Today, the company's operations are spread throughout the country - with 14
cement factories, 11 regional marketing offices, 21 area offices, and a dedicated
employee band of about 9000 people from all corners of India.
As part of its expertise, ACC has acquired rich experience in mining, being the largest
user of limestone, and it is also one of the principal users of coal. As the largest
cement producer in India, it is one of the biggest customers of the Indian Railways,
and the foremost user of the road transport network services for inward and outward
movement of materials and products.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS
14
LIMESTONE QUARRY AND CRUSHING PLANT
The major raw material for cement production is limestone. The limestone most
suitable for cement production must have some ingredients in specified quantities i.e.,
calcium carbonates, silica, alumina, iron, etc. Typically, cement plants locations are
based upon the availability of good quality limestone in the vicinity. The cement
producer using the open cast mining process does the quarrying operations.
Quarrying is done through drilling and subsequently, using heavy earth moving
equipment such as bulldozers, pay loaders and dumpers.
The quarried raw material is then transported to the cement plant, using mechanical
conveying equipment such as ropeways or belt conveyors, or by vehicles like wagons
and trucks.
The quarried limestone is normally in the form of big boulders, ranging from a
few inches to meters in size. These varying sizes of limestone need to be crushed to a
size of about 10 mm in order to be prepared for finish grinding.
There are mainly two types of crushers available for this purpose- compression type
or impact type crushers. There are many types of compression type crushers such as
jaw crusher, gyratory crusher, cone crusher, and roll crusher. The impact technology
is used in hammer crusher/impact crusher.
Crushing is done either in two stages or in a single stage. In the two stage
crushing system, a compression type crusher is used in the first stage for raw crushing,
followed by impact/hammer crusher in the second stage. In single stage crushing, an
impact type crusher is used.
The selection of the crusher depends mainly on the characteristics of the raw
materials. This selection is further guided by the particle-size distribution
requirements of the down-stream equipment such as raw mills and lastly by financial
considerations.
15
LIMESTONE STOCK PILE
The raw material is stored at either the quarry or at the plant. Typically, circular
or longitudinal stockpiles are used to store the material.
A number of layers are stacked in circular or longitudinal piles and are reclaimed in
transverse, cross-sectional slices.
The stockpiles consist of separate layers/piles of different kinds of raw material.
This is used in segregating the raw material quality-wise. The required quantity of the
various raw materials is thus easily extracted for use.
The extraction of different qualities of raw material is monitored and controlled
in order to maintain the desired composition of raw meal, suitable for feeding into the
kiln.
PREHEATER
The most important activity in cement manufacturing is clinkering (or burning)
of raw material. Clinkering takes place in the kiln and the preheater system.
Preheater systems offer heat transfer from the hot kiln gases.
GAS CONDITIONING TOWER AND ESP
The conditioning tower is used to reduce the temperature and to increase the
moisture level of the dusty exhaust gas from the kiln, before it is passed through the
bag house and ESPs. It is called a conditioning tower because it conditions the hot
gas, thus making it more suitable for the ESP and bag house to extract dust from it.
The Electrostatic Precipitators are used in cement plants particularly for
removal of dust from the exit gases of cement kilns and from the exhaust air
17
discharged by dryers, combined grinding and drying plants, finishing mills and raw
mills through water injection.
Through ESPs, the dust-laden gas is made to flow through a chamber usually
horizontally, during which it passes through one or more high voltage electric fields
formed by alternate discharge electrodes and plate type collecting electrodes.
By the action of electric field, the dust particles, which have become electrically
charged by negative gas ions, which are formed at the discharge electrodes and attach
themselves to the particles, fly to the collecting electrodes and are deposited there.
The dust is dislodged from these electrodes by rapping and thus falls into the
receiving hopper at the base of the precipitator casing.
KILN
A kiln is the heart of any cement plant. It is basically a long cylindrical-shaped
pipe, and rotates in a horizontal position. Its internal surface is lined by refractory
bricks. Limestone and additives are calcined in this. The output of the kiln is called
clinker.
COOLER
The clinker coming out of the kiln is hot. It is cooled in a set-up called a cooler.
In the cooler, cold air is blown to effect heat exchange between hot clinker and cold
air.
CLINKER/GYPSUM STORAGE
The output of the kiln is stored before it is fed to the cement mill for conversion
to cement. This storage is called clinker storage, if it is used for clinker storage
purpose. If the storage space is used for gypsum storage, it is called gypsum storage.
The storage may be of silo type or covered stacker reclaimer type or simply a
gantry type. Silo type clinker storage has the advantage that there is no dust pollution
18
and spillage of clinker. Same advantage can be achieved through stacker reclaimer
type as well. However, there is a little bit of dust generated. Gantry type is not used in
modern cement plants because of its environmental unfriendly nature.
GYPSUM STORAGE
The output of the kiln is stored before it is fed to the cement mill for conversion
to into cement. This storage is called clinker storage, if it is used for clinker storage
purpose. If the storage space is used for gypsum storage, it is called gypsum storage.
The storage may be of silo type or covered stacker reclaimer type or simply a
gantry type. Silo type clinker storage has the advantage that there is no dust pollution
and spillage of clinker. Same advantage can be achieved through stacker reclaimer
type as well however, there is a little bit of dust generated. Gantry type is not used in
modern cement plants because of its environmental unfriendly nature.
Limestone coming out of quarry is crushed in multiple stages in a sizing plant before
it is put in limestone stockpile. Crushers are mainly of two types viz. Jaw crusher and
Hammer crusher. Jaw crusher is basically a simple mechanism having two plates one
fixed and another moving. This is also called primary crusher. Hammer crusher has
got metallic hammer mounted on the axes and the sizing achieved by the impact of the
hammer.
19
The term bag house is applied to large filters containing a number of tubular
bags mounted in a usually rectangular casing. The dust-laden air is drawn through
them by suction.
The bag house is used to remove dusty particles from discharge of different
equipment such as cement mill, coal mill and kiln. In a bag house system discharge
gas containing dusty particles is passed through a series of bags made of strong
fabrics.

CRUSHER PROCESS
DEFINITION:
Crusher is defined as the crushing of big stones in to small stones . It
can be achieved by two steps. The output size of limestone from the crusher is 20 mm.
FIRST STEP:
The stones from the quarry is poured in the primary crusher dumper.
From the dumper it is taken to jaw crusher hopper through laminated conveyor. The
disintegration of limestones is mainly due to the movement of movable jaw plate
attached eccentrically with the motor shaft of the primary crusher. One jaw plate is
fixed and the other is movable. The gap maintained at the end of the two plate is
200 mm. the gap can be varied. The output size of stone from primary crusher is
200 mm. Then it is transferred to secondary crusher through belt conveyor.
SECOND STEP:
The input to the secondary crusher is the output of primary crusher. Secondary
crusher has 48 hammers arranged in 12 rows, each row containing 3 hammers. It is
rotated at high velocity to break the stones into small pieces(<20 mm). Then it is
moved to vibratory screen, from the vibratory screen the rejection is again send to
secondary crusher and remaining is transferred to ball mill through belt conveyor. The
stones lessthan 20 mm is the product from the crusher and it can be transferred to
ballmill.
