Solutions for Mining, Aggregate and Cement

Lehigh Cement needed to update outdated unreliable silo level measurement system

SITRANS LR560 radar level transmitter operates reliably even in harsh conditions and long ranges typical in the cement industry

Siemens Engineered Instrument Solutions team developed a custom level measurement package combining SITRANS LR560 and wireless communication

Cement kiln dust, an unavoidable byproduct in the cement production, has turned from a waste product to an important ingredient in wastewater treatment, a stabilizing base for pavement and as a soil enhancer

Filtering out as much dust as possible in cement processes is key to fulfill strict regulations of Government bodies

To ensure compliance, SITRANS P DS III differential pressure transmitters measure the differential pressure across the filter media inside the baghouse

Radar, capacitance and remote displays monitor processes at asphalt plant

SIMATIC S7 PLC and SCADA control systems keeps operations running smoothly

Controls the management of material deliveries and improves plant safety

A lime quarry processes 8 million tons of limestone from four rotary kilns and six shaft kilns. Product is stored in surge bins and transported by conveyor belt scales

Entire refining and transport process is monitored by SIMATIC PCS 7 route control software. Software tracks and controls different belts and transfers.  

Compact MSI belt scale design makes it easy to install and with no moving or rotating parts maintenance is minimal
