the cooler there are reciprocating rails 'hich mo7e 'ith the help of hydraulic
motors. ;hese rails con7ey the cliner for'ard to the cliner crusher.
Dust co,,ection '
A suction fan is installed 'hich sucs the product dust from the cooler and send it
to the electrostatic precipitator. 4n (P dust is remo7ed and clean air is e=hausted to
the atmosphere through a chimney. ;he dust particles are to the deep pan con7eyor
+y a scre' con7eyor.
C,inker crusher '
Dhen the cliner cools and hardens then it is sent to the cliner crusher installed
after the cooler. 5ig stones of cliner are crushed to small pieces. ;he crushed
cliner is dropped on the deep pan con7eyor at the +ottom of the con7eyor 'hich
con7eys it to the cliner storage.
C,inker stora.e '
;he cliner from the deep pan con7eyor is stored in the
cliner storage. 4ts capacity is 11/!/// tons. 4ts length is
$/ m and its 'idth is 4$ m. ;here are % gates at the
+ottom of the cliner storage from 'here the cliner is
sent to cement mill through +elt con7eyor. 5esides the
main cliner storage +in! there is a temporary cliner
storage hopper 'ith a capacity of 14// tons. 4f the
temporay hopper is also full then the cliner is remo7ed
from the hopper and dumped into cliner storage yard.

A +ag filter collects dust from the main +elt and a magnetic separator remo7e
metallic impurities from entering into the cement mill.

;o protect the cement mills from damage! a metal detector is installed 'hich
analy:es the feed and if a metal o+Aect is found it opens the di7idend gate
automatically and sends the feed containing metal o+Aects to the reAected +in! 'hich
is again recycled to the main +elt and magnetic seperatoe remo7es it.
