Clinker production can be divided into preheating and pre-calcining, clinker sintering, and clinker cooling three stages. Cyclone preheater, cement kiln, and clinker cooler are three main cement manufacturing machines in this process.
There are four stages in the manufacture of portland cement: (1) crushing and grinding the raw materials, (2) blending the materials in the correct proportions, (3) burning the prepared mix in a kiln, and (4) grinding the burned product, known as " clinker," together with some 5 percent of gypsum (to control the time of set of the cement). The three processes of …

Clinker grinding technology is the most energy-intensive process in cement manufacturing. Traditionally, it was treated as "low on technology" and "high on energy" as grinding circuits use more than 60 per cent of total energy consumed and account for most of the manufacturing cost. Since the increasing energy cost started burning the benefits …

Producing traditional cement clinker is an extremely energy and CO2 intensive process. In the EU, 90% of clinker is now made via the more energy efficient dry clinker-making process (2). Older, less efficient wet kilns have almost been phased out. In the more advanced dry process, raw ingredients are calcinated at around 900-1250oC …
The burning phase takes place in a rotary kiln. The clinker temperature in the kiln burning zone has to reach 1,500°C and then it is cooled in a cooler by air which decreases the temperature. The entire manufacturing process is continuously monitored and controlled from the central control room.
However, the cement as yet has not been produced. If just clinker alone is ground, the final product would be an inferior, unworkable cement. To control setting time, gypsum has to be added to the clinker during the finish-grinding process. Typical portland cement contains approximately 5% of gypsum.

Clinker is a nodular material produced in the kilning stage during the production of cement and is used as the binder in many cement products. The lumps or nodules of clinker are usually of diameter 3-25 mm and dark grey in color. It is produced by heating limestone and clay to the point of liquefaction at about 1400°C-1500°C in the rotary kiln. ...
This process called micronization, when combined with the use of proprietary admixtures, allows cement to significantly reduce its clinker factor per ton of cement, thereby minimizing its carbon footprint.
