The cement industry is one of the largest and the most fundamental industries throughout the world, because of the material, mixtures, and binders it creates. Some of the industries like engineering, transportation, road construction, public highways and works, and even private institutions are highly dependent on the cement industry.
Industrial fans play a vital role in cement manufacturing, as they are utilized at almost every stage of cement production. Based on the purpose, industrial fans of various types are used in different steps of cement manufacturing.
Let us see how important industrial fans and blowers are for the cement industry.
- Maintaining the health & safety of the cement plant and its workers: It is important to note for the cement industry that through its multi-step cement manufacturing processes lots of byproducts are emitted. It includes solid, liquid, fumes, and even toxic gas wastes, because of the materials it handles daily. Most of it is dust and material particles that are found in the air, which the workers breathe and that pollute the air.
- Providing a comfortable working environment through proper ventilation: Industrial fans and blowers are also useful for providing a comfortable, temperature-standard working environment that makes the cement production work more bearable. Proper installation and maintenance of these fans will enhance comfort, productivity, and efficiency within the cement manufacturing facility.
- For Material handling in cement manufacturing: Cement is one of the most important products in the modern world. It is manufactured by making use of raw materials like limestone, clay, and marl. These raw materials are processed in several steps to produce cement. Industrial process fans find their application in the cement manufacturing process at various steps like — material handling, grinding, preheating, cooling, etc.
- Raw Materials such as limestone, clay and sand are collected from the quarry. Large-sized rocks of these raw materials are crushed at the quarry. Once the raw materials are crushed into gravel, they are proportioned in the manufacturing plant. During this crushing and proportioning of raw materials, industrial fans are used for material handling and dust exhaust.
- Coal mill fans provide air for burning coal and eliminate the exhaust gases after the coal is burnt in the rotatory kiln.
- Exhaust fans/Dedusting fans are used to dedust the plant and also exhaust the unnecessary gases.
- Maintaining Energy efficiency: Being a high energy-intensive industry, ‘energy efficiency’ plays a key role in the cement industry. Industrial fans, as high energy consumers, can result in high energy costs. They are an important cost factor in the cement production process. So if these fans are designed energy-efficiently, they can present a huge opportunity in terms of lowering the overall energy consumption of the whole plant (especially when variable-speed drives are used). A customized fan design adapted to cater to specific process requirements can lower energy consumption while reducing energy costs.
- To produce first-class cement, the industrial fans at the cement plant must be designed to avoid imbalance caused by different reasons. A well-thought-out design of industrial fans and blowers helps the cement plant operators to lessen shutdown periods, reduce energy costs and ensure a safe and reliable production; which is vital for the cement production process.
