1. Industry Overview
The cement industry is fundamental for construction, producing the binding material essential for buildings and infrastructure. It involves extracting and processing raw materials like limestone and clay, followed by high-temperature clinker production. As a major contributor to global carbon emissions, the industry is increasingly focusing on sustainability and eco-friendly practices.
Pneumatic conveying uses air pressure to move materials like limestone, clay, and cement through pipelines, reducing dust emissions and enhancing worker safety. Its flexibility allows for efficient routing over various distances and elevations, optimising space in production facilities. Additionally, pneumatic conveying for the cement industry can be easily automated, improving control over material flow and inventory management. From streamlining the transport of raw materials to conveying finished products, the benefits of pneumatic conveying systems in the cement industry are countless.
2. Solutions Offered by Macawber
Power Plant Ash
Macawber has successfully implemented pneumatic conveying systems in various cement plants, ensuring efficient and dust-free handling of fly ash sources from thermal power plants.
Fly Ash Classification and Conveying
Knowing the use of fly ash in cement and their proper classification is essential for optimising its applications in cement production. Macawber’s advanced dense phase pneumatic conveying system effectively transfers classified fly ash for subsequent mixing and blending into Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC).
Lime Powder
Macawber aids cement manufacturers by providing reliable pneumatic conveyors for the cement industry to convey lime powder, a critical component in cement kilns. Our high-capacity dense phase conveying system meets cement kilns’ lime consumption requirements, typically around 60 TPH capacity.
Weighing Feeder and Dosing
To address the cement mills’ pre-weighed fly ash needs, Macawber has supplied a comprehensive pneumatic conveying system complemented by our custom-designed weight feeder solution. This includes loss-in-weight feeders, air slides, and lean-phase injection components.
Slag Grinding and Pneumatic Conveying
Granulated blast furnace slag can replace 30-70% of Portland cement in various formulations. Macawber’s pneumatic conveying solutions ensure the efficient transportation of granulated slag.
Process Dust Conveying
Macawber’s Dense Phase Pneumatic Conveyor, particularly Ashveyor, effectively transfers particulate matter generated during different stages of cement production for reuse to improve efficiency. This robust dust control mechanism not only enhances air quality but also improves the operational efficiency and safety of cement plants.
Finished Cement Powder Conveying
With core pneumatic conveying systems and diverter valves, Macawber is equipped with an array of facilities to transport finished cement for both domestic and global customers.
Bulker Pumping System
Macawber has successfully implemented a positive pressure bulker unloading system, enabling efficient unloading of incoming fly ash from bulkers into storage silos at several cement manufacturing plants.

4. Unique Selling Points (USPs) of Our Design
ASME Compliance
Macawber emphasises ASME standards when designing pressure vessels for pneumatic dense-phase conveying, ensuring safety, efficiency, and compliance. Adhering to specific codes and guidelines guarantees reliable operation.
Dome Valves with Hard Coating
The dome valve, crucial for regulating bulk powder flow, is the most wear-prone component. Macawber’s dome valves feature special hard coatings tailored to material properties and customer requirements, including ceramic, tungsten carbide, and frit coatings.
Heavy-Duty Design for Long Life
Macawber’s pneumatic conveying systems have been successfully supplied across the Indian cement industry over the past 30 years, thanks to a focus on heavy-duty design that results in extended equipment lifespan.
Lined Pipes and Bends
Knowing the abrasive nature of bulk powders like lime, cement, additives & different dust, Macawber offers lined pipes and bends tailored to application specifics, reducing wear and tear on these components.
Optimal Sizing Design
Based on the required conveying capacity and corresponding air requirements, Macawber optimises vessel and pipeline sizes to meet critical performance parameters and energy efficiency.
Healthy Filtration Area
Proper venting of air is essential before material is dropped at reception points. An inadequate filtration area can lead to back pressure and system malfunctions. Macawber prioritises a healthy filtration area for efficient venting.
Accurate Weigh Feeders
Macawber’s weight feeders ensure precise material dosing at the right times during the steelmaking process, optimising the chemical composition of the final steel product.
