At its 3,000 TPD clinkerization facility in Ramasamy Raja Nagar (R R Nagar), Ramco Cements Ltd. has put Line III into operation. In the South of Tamil Nadu, this is the first integrated cement line to be inaugurated in the previous 15 years.
This new line’s entire electrical energy needs are being met by renewable energy generated on-site by wind turbines.
With the commissioning of Line III clinker manufacturing facility at its R R Nagar Plant, the requirement of limestone has gone up.
To meet the additional requirement of limestone, the company have envisaged a wet beneficiation system at its mines, by which it can beneficiate marginal grade limestone / lime Kankar into cement grade raw material for manufacture of cement clinker.
The company has engaged one of the premier material science research institutes, in arriving at a proper process design and system design for this application and subsequently procured equipment from a leading European machinery supplier.
The project execution had commenced during January 2023. Against the estimated commissioning time of July 2023, the project got commissioned one month ahead (i.e) in June 2023. The plant has been operating successfully.
