Cement

Durable process solutions for the cement industry

Our solutions for the production of cement have stood the test of time. A track record of more than 80 years all around the world has given us a thorough understanding of the harsh operating conditions that are a daily reality in the building materials industry — and what’s needed to keep plants running reliably and efficiently at scale.

Benefits

With its wear protection concepts and high performance components, Coperion can serve an extremely wide range of requirements in terms of capacity, differential pressure and temperature. Furthermore we incorporated current ATEX regulations in our product portfolio. The outstanding combination of eminently comprehensive pneumatic conveying know-how with core components, self-developed and manufactured in our own facilities, provides a unique reliability and operating efficiency for our customers.

The Coperion Difference

Technology built for longevity and upgradeability, combined with extensive process expertise and hands-on experience delivered by on-site engineering and field service teams, yield high-quality solutions that continue to perform as expected, year after year.

That expertise and experience are critical to the success of our solutions. We look beyond the individual pieces of equipment to how they integrate with the process flow; this enables us to design for serviceability and efficiency throughout the plant. 

Years of experience for long service life

In cement plants there are many challenging applications to handle abrasive bulk materials. Coperion customers can rely on proven competence and expertise in all process steps, e.g. dosing of additives like fly ash, slag sand, lime or gypsum, pneumatic conveying from clinker grinding to dispatch silos, or discharge of (hot) bypass dust. All these materials have one thing in common: Their highly abrasive behavior, which Coperion faces based on innovative and graduated wear protection concepts - by design and by special selection of wear resistant materials.

Long-term support

Much of the equipment we installed decades ago is still in service, and we continue to support it with parts, refurbishment and upgrades.

Comprehensive technology

From milling, conveying, weighing, feeding and dust collection, we stand ready to support cement producers.

Optimized solutions

Flexible technology and control systems readily accommodate changes to the process, such as the use of alternative fuels or raw material dosing alterations.

Process Technologies

Weighing Equipment for Minerals

Weighing and Feeding

Our measurement and feeding technology delivers a high degree of repeatable accuracy for a wide range of process requirements and material types. Systems are available for high precision small-volume applications as well as large-scale industrial processes, all fully integrated with your overall solution. Equipment includes gravimetric and volumetric feeders, mass flow meters, and static & dynamic scales.

Weighing
Conveying equipment for minerals

Conveying

From flow control solutions to mechanical and pneumatic conveying, our conveying technologies span every aspect of material handling throughout your total process: material intake to bagging, storage, dilute or dense phase pneumatic conveying, rotary valves, and vertical, horizontal, open or closed mechanical conveying.

Other conveying technologies include: airlocks, valves & chutes, bulk material handling/intake & transfer, and pneumatic injection conveying.

Conveying
Filtration Equipment for Minerals

Filtration

Our air flow and dust control systems are designed for effectiveness and ease of cleaning, to keep productivity and worker safety high and maintenance costs low. A broad range of solutions from air separators to pulse jet dust collectors, we provide the right fit, whether the need is for hygienic food production or the extreme environments encountered in performance material manufacturing.

Filtration
Pulverizing Mills for Minerals

Milling and Grinding

Our largest and strongest products include dry and wet milling machines that grind hard, abrasive materials for applications like mineral processing, cement plants, and power generation. They are are characterized by their excellent wear life, high availability and easy maintenance. At the other end of the scale we have ultra fine mills that will grind powders down to 2 microns (0.002 mm).

Pulverizing Mills
Thermal Processing Equipment for Minerals

Thermal Processing

We offer a full line of robust purpose-built rotary kilns, calciners, coolers and dryers to support performance material process applications, designed to deliver tightly controlled conditions when working under challenging environmental conditions.
