Need for the Project
The cement market is currently showing a tremendous growth due to the
government policies as well as the boost to infrastructure projects like housing, road
projects, etc Cement demand is anticipated to grow about 7-8% mainly through
road projects, housing projects, etc. Continuous demand for exports to other
countries along with the increased requirement of the domestic sector has lead to a
number of cement manufacturers in the country to plan for increased capacities.
Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the project
All labour force will be permanent employees of the business. The requirement of
the employees will be approximately 44 persons.

3. Project Description
M/s. Jothe Cements Company proposes to set up a standalone cement grinding unit
of 600 TPD (Phase I :300 TPD, Phase II : 300 TPD) capacity at survey number:
206/2A, 206/2B, Thambuganipalli Village, Bangarupapalem Mandal, Chittoor
District, Andhra Pradesh
Production Capacity
The Production capacity is 600 TPD (Phase I: 300 TPD, Phase II : 300 TPD) is
presented in the following table. The grinding process is presented as follows;
Production Capacity
Name of Product Units Production
Capacity Phase I Phase II Total
Cement (OPC/PPC) TPD 300 300 600
Production Process
The raw materials – clinker, Gypsum and fly ash are stored in silos are charged into
a dump hopper fitted with table feeders and Screw feeders to control feed rate. The
material is extracted by means of table feeders in the desired proportion and fed to
the Ball Mill hopper. The mix is fed to the Ball mill hopper for intermediate storage

where a mill feeder is installed, which controls the feed rate to mill, and desired
fineness can be adjusted. The Cement produced is stored in the Cement Silo and
blended through aeration assemblies to ensure consistent and high quality Blended
Cement. Cement is extracted from the Cement silo by means of a screw feeder and
transported to packer plant where it is first screened to remove any foreign particle
and then stored into a hopper for packing with the help of Auto Packers. Spillage if
any during the packing is collected into a spillage hopper and recycled to the
system. The packed bags are handled by a Belt conveyor and transported to
Cement Godown for sale.

List of Utilities
S. No Utility Description 1 Ball mill 2 x 20 TPH 2 DG Set* 1 x 125 KVA
* DG set will be used during load shut down.
6.2 Waste management
Liquid Effluents
The domestic wastewater generated is sent to soak pit followed by septic tank.
Air Pollution
The proposed cement grinding process generates air pollution and noise pollution
unless abatement measures are adopted. It is proposed to provide closed sheds for
storage all raw materials of (i.e Clinker, Gypsum and Flyash). The conveyor
connected to the hoppers shall be covered to ensure less emission. The emissions
from the ball mill shall be collected in a bag filter. The dust collected in the bag filter
is reused in the process. The dust collected in the bag filter is reused in the process.
Detailed emissions are shown in Table below.
The main sources for air pollution in the grinding unit are
1. Material transfer points
2. Cement Mill (Ball mill)
