How Process Works
The main raw materials of
cement are Clinker and Gypsum.
Clinker is gathered by burning
limestone. One is EUROPEAN
STANDARD and the other is
AMERICAN
STANDARD
(ASTM).

How Process Works
•The cement manufacturing process begins
when limestone, the basic raw material used to
make cement, is either quarried from an open
pit quarry from an underground mine.
•Limestone should be crushed and grinded
before further usage. Crusher reduces the size of
the limestone from1m to 15mm.
•The limestone is combined with clay, ground in
a crusher and fed into the additive silo, sand,
iron and bottom ash are then combined with the
limestone and clay in a carefully controlled
mixture which is ground into a fine powder in a
2000hp roller mill.

•Next, the fine powder is heated as it
passes through the pre-heater tower
into a large kiln, which is over half the
length of a football field and 4.2
meters in diameter. In kiln, the
powder is heated from 1350 to 1450
degree Celsius. This creates a new
product,
called
clinker
which
resembles pelletes about the size of
marbles.

•The clinker is combined
with small amounts of
gypsum and limestone and
finely ground in a finishing
mill. The mill is a large
revolving
cylinder
containing 250 tons of
steel balls that is driven by
a 4000hp motor.

Packaging Strategy
Holcim starts producing75Kg
bag along with the present 50Kg
bag. There are customers with a
high demand. For a buyer buying
100 bags of Holcim, it is more
convenient and reasonable to buy
75Kg bags instead of 50Kg bags.
It will reduce the consumer’s cost
along with Holcim’s too. Holcim
will have to deal with less
wastage of bag materials while
packaging. It is also beneficial
for the corporate organizations as
their need and demand for
cements is very high.
