Fixing Costly Limestone Flow Problems at Titan Cement
Fixing Costly Limestone Flow Problems at Titan Cement Titan America - Medley, Florida The Need Titan America manufactures Portland cement at their Medley, Florida USA plant, and in June 2004 commissioned a new 5,000 ton per day kiln that greatly increased clinker production capability and efficiency. However, due to poor flowing raw materials handled in the new silos, large variations in raw meal properties resulted, principally from erratic flow of limestone. Jenike & Johanson engineers visited the new plant to review the solids handling difficulties and to develop a scope of work necessary to alleviate the costly flow problems. The efforts, in part, allowed Titan to eventually exceed design clinker production capacity by 10%. Jenike & Johanson’s scope of work consisted of: 1. an on-sit
