2. GAMBARAN KESELURUHAN PRODUK
This product line encompasses industrialgrade Cement Plant Laboratory Equipment, specifically engineered for the preparation and analysis of raw meal, klinker, and cement. The operational workflow is designed for precision and repeatability: (1) Representative sample collection via automatic samplers. (2) Sample preparation using crushers, kilang, and dividers to achieve a homogenous analytical fraction. (3) Physical testing via presses for strength testing or Vicat apparatus for setting time. (4) Chemical composition analysis using XRF fusion equipment or automated titration systems. (5) Particle size analysis with laser granulometers or air permeability testers.
Application scope includes full quality control from quarry to final product for Portland cement, blended cements, and alternative fuel/raw material assessment. Primary limitations involve the requirement for trained laboratory personnel and adherence to international standards (mis., ASTM, DALAM) for calibration and operation.
