Valley Cement Plant

Bigness!

Modern cement is made in special plants consisting of several buildings, each handling a step in the manufacturing process.

Various raw materials arrive by rail and are kept under cover in the material storage building.

Next, a conveyor moves these materials to the kiln building, where they are mixed in measured amounts.

They are then fed into a rotary kiln, where heat starts a series of chemical reactions, and the rotation causes the heated material to form into small chunks.

These pieces are fed into a crusher and ground into powder, which is stored for bulk shipment by road or rail. Valley Cement includes a beefy bulk material storage building, corrugated-metal processing structures, concrete silos with an attached hopper car loading facility, a tall smokestack and covered conveyors.
