Dosing system for production process in Großenlüder

Dosing machine for cement and lime production

At the Otterbein cement and lime plant, fly ash is used as an additive in the production of various products. Its specific chemical and physical properties make fly ash a valuable material for cement and lime production. In particular, it can improve the strength and durability of the final products.

To ensure precise and consistent material dosing, Otterbein invested in a fly ash dosing machine from Carbotechnik. The system provides high dosing accuracy, simple control, and reliable operation. These features are especially important when handling fine materials such as fly ash.

Precise fly ash dosing

The fly ash dosing machine enables Otterbein to add a constant and precisely defined quantity of fly ash to the production process. Accurate dosing helps maintain consistent material properties and, consequently, supports consistently high product quality.

The reliable dosing performance also allows the plant operators to control the amount of fly ash according to the specific requirements of each product. This provides greater flexibility while maintaining stable production conditions.

Dosing system not only for fly ash

Carbotechnik designed the dosing machine specifically for operation with both fly ash and lignite dust. This dual-material capability required a flexible system design because the two materials have different handling and conveying properties.

One particular challenge is the generation and handling of fine dust. Fly ash and lignite dust can behave differently during storage, dosing, and conveying. The dosing system therefore needs to provide reliable material flow while maintaining accurate dosing performance.

Explosion protection for fine dust materials

Explosion protection is another important consideration when handling combustible fine dust. Depending on the material and operating conditions, dust can create potentially explosive atmospheres during industrial processing.

Carbotechnik incorporated the necessary safety considerations into the design of the dosing machine. This allows the system to handle both fly ash and lignite dust reliably while meeting the requirements of industrial dust handling.

With its high dosing accuracy, flexible material handling, and reliable operation, the Carbotechnik dosing machine provides an efficient solution for precise fly ash dosing in cement and lime production.
