Madras Cements establishes limestone beneficiation plant

15 Jul 2013 Evaluate

Madras Cements is establishing a limestone beneficiation plant, in order to upgrade cement raw material resources and extend the life of limestone mines. It will install this beneficiation plant at a cost of Rs 30 crore at Alathiyur in Tamil Nadu, where it has a 3 million tonnes-a-year cement plant. The company also plans to establish similar facilities at other plants, once the 400 tonnes-per-hour beneficiation unit is stabilized. The company has a total annual capacity of about 13 million tonnes of cement production across five plants distributed across Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka.

Once the beneficiation plant is in place, the company will process low-grade limestone with just 12.5 per cent silicon dioxide, subsequently be able to prevent wastage of huge quantities of natural mineral resource and extend the life of the limestone quarry.
