Since cement is a low-value, high-volume commodity, freight costs constitute a significant proportion, around 20-25 per cent, of the total cost of sales. There are three major modes of transport used by the cement industry i.e. road, rail and sea. Rail is the preferred mode of transport for long-distance transportation owing to lower freight cost.
The level of the material in the feed bin is held constant by adjusting the material transport to and from the pelletizer to the grate. With increasing traveling grate speed the material feed rate increases and vice versa. 1.1.3 Pelletizer control
The material handling equipment used to transport clinker from the clinker coolers to storage and then to the finish mill is similar to that used to transport raw materials (e.g. belt conveyors, deep bucket conveyors, and bucket elevators).

From energy consumption point of view, cement industry is one of the most energy-intensive industries in the world. With a consumption level of 120 kWh/t of cement, the cement subsector accounts for approximately 10–15% of the total industrial energy used worldwide.
transportation process in the cement industry activities. To minimize the risk and improvement in material handling process by using risk assessment methods, proper record keeping will also maintained to overall production. ... Material handling equipment failure- during the Unsuitability- unsuitable loading of material.
R Murthy and Santhosh Kumar M elaborate on the use of stackers and reclaimers used in cement industry for feeding raw materials. Stacking raw materials/fuels and reclaiming them is an essential part of cement industry. Stacking of raw material is done in order to have sufficient raw material to feed the plant during any …

Cement is typically made from limestone and clay or shale. These raw materials are extracted from the quarry crushed to a very fine powder and then blended in the correct proportions. This blended raw material is called the 'raw feed' or 'kiln feed' and is heated in a rotary kiln where it reaches a temperature of about 1400 C to 1500 C.
storage piles. The material handling equipment used to transport clinker from the clinker coolers to storage and then to the finish mill is similar to that used to transport raw materials (e.g. belt conveyors, deep bucket conveyors, and bucket elevators).
