Factory-made composite cements have been available for over 30 years, but until a legislative change intended to promote sustainable cement production, they have only been supplied to localised markets. Now, wide ranges of composite cements are available across Europe which incorporate limestone, fly ash or blast furnace slag as secondary constituents (additives). These factory-made composite cements are produced and supplied widely by the whole cement industry for use in either bulk delivery or packed in bags. The significant benefits of our process solution lie in our unique capability of being able to harness the blending action of the MULTICOR ® mass flow meter to homogeneously and accurately blend the cement master material, e.g. Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), with secondary constituents on a sustainable basis. By application of our process know-how, the MULTICOR ® blending system differs from the typically employed method of batch blending and storage. It allows the cement producer to secure the advantages of sustainable continuous blending.

Future-oriented Solution for Manufacturing

Saving potential for new blending plants (retrofit solutions also available)

Normal cement production processes are based on producing and storing goods in the expectation of them being consumed, and in manufacturing terms, this is usually called the push principle. This principle can be an inefficient use of both resource and capital, resulting in increased stock levels and the tying up of cash. Therefore, the Schenck Process MULTICOR ® blending system facilitates the manufacturing pull principle by only producing goods when they are ordered. There is no need for the cement manufacturer to store blended products in the expectation of consumption. Thus stock levels can be reduced and cash freed to be used more efficiently elsewhere in the business.

Future-oriented Demands for Ecological Building Materials

Cement produced with 30% additives uses 230kg or 27% less CO 2 than conventional cement without additives.

The integration of sustainability into all operations now sets the international cement industry’s agenda. The implications for cements are already clear. Their energy and carbon footprint must be reduced over time without jeopardising product performance.  The increasing availability of blended cements for use in concrete, mortar and grout plus the continued production of niche masonry cements for use only in mortar will help the industry to meet its social and environmental obligations and achieve necessary economic objectives. A commitment to the environment runs throughout many of the process solutions offered by the Schenck Process Group, e.g. systems designed to optimise the use of alternative fuels (energy from waste), coal-washing plants (to reduce airborne pollution) or environmental controls in power plants (to reduce NO x and SO x emissions). And we are proud of the contribution that we make. Furthermore, enabling cement producers to reduce their investment levels in capital equipment and operating costs utilising the MULTICOR ® blending system to homogeneously and accurately blend cement with a secondary constituent contributes to users being able to reduce their environmental pollutants, e.g. CO 2 emissions.

Continuous production of composite cements on a sustainable basis

What’s behind this revolutionary process innovation? Our unique solution is the innovative application of our expertise in bulk material handling and process technology combined with market leading process equipment, i.e. the MULTICOR ® mass flow meter. With over 2,000 MULTICOR ® systems in the market, developing its use for the production of composite cement on a continuous basis is an application extension of this very successful long-standing product.

MULTICOR ® operating principle:

A key benefit of the Schenck Process solution is its ability to instantly change the percentage of additives (secondary constituents). This allows the production of the complete range of products on a sustainable basis, negating the need for storage of each of the different grades produced.

Continuous fixed-speed rotating measuring wheel contained within a dust-tight body.

Bulk material enters the centre of the measuring wheel and is centrifugally accelerated outwards.

This action creates a torque, which corresponds directly to the feed rate.

The torque is measured with a measuring module (Schenck Process load cell).

Data is communicated from the measuring module to the Schenck Process  DISOCONT ® control system.

The MULTICOR ® blending system’s operating principle and advantages

Two MULTICOR ® mass flow meters are controlled synchronously using a Schenck Process DISOCONT ® control system  (one MULTICOR ® handling OPC and the other an additive). Bulk material is conveyed to the MULTICOR ® systems using pre-feed devices. The MULTICOR ® for the additive meters the flow of material into the downstream MULTICOR ® for blending with the OPC. When optimally configured, the MULTICOR ® blending system accurately and homogenously mixes the OPC and additives. High accuracy and constancy are well-known benefits of the MULTICOR ® system. The centrifugal action of the MULTICOR ® system measuring rotor facilitates the homogeneous mixing of materials as they are fed through the machine (in a dust-tight enclosure). The resultant quantity and quality of the finished product is significantly enhanced without the need to blend and store the material prior to consumption. Thus, a truly continuous weighing and mixing plant has been developed.
