Purbanchal Cement Ltd. is engaged in the production of Clinkers and Cement in Assam.

The lime stone is crushed in primary and secondary crusher and conveyed to the storage hopper. Each raw material/consumables such as crushed lime stone, additive and iron dust are weighed as per designed quantity and fed to raw mill for grinding. The grinded raw mix through the pre -heating system is feed to the Kiln. All the process parameters are being controlled through PLC system and closely monitored by the senior Process Engineer in three shifts.

Typically shale provides the argillaceous components:

  • Silica SiO2, Aluminium (Al2O3)& Iron (Fe2O3)
  • Limestone provides the calcareous component:
  • Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3)
  • Raw materials may vary in both composition and morphology.
