Cement Clinker Ratio with clinker in the cement blend of 180 tons: a worked example

Push clinker in the cement blend up to 180 tons and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. a cement mill team needs to confirm clinker factor for a cement type or production run

The inputs for this scenario

  • Clinker in the cement blend: 180 tons (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 70)
  • Total finished cement blend: 100 tons (unchanged)
  • Percent conversion multiplier: 100 x (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Raw cement clinker ratio = clinker in the cement blend รท total finished cement blend) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 180 % clinker for cement clinker ratio, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 1.8 value for raw cement clinker ratio.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 100 x for percent conversion multiplier.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 100 value for total finished cement blend.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where clinker in the cement blend sits at 70 tons and the headline result is 70 % clinker, this scenario comes in 157% above the baseline at 180 % clinker.
  • It computes the clinker tonnage divided by total finished cement tonnage, scaled by a multiplier to express the result as a clinker percentage. The value of this scenario is the size of the gap it exposes: that gap, priced out over a year, is the budget you can justify spending to close it.
