Portland cement, aluminous cement, slag cement and similar hydraulic cements, except in the form of clinkers

CPC v2.1 Code: 3744

About portland cement, aluminous cement, slag cement and similar hydraulic cements, except in the form of clinkers

cpc code 3744 encompasses the production of various types of hydraulic cements, which are essential materials in the construction industry. These cements, including Portland cement, aluminous cement, and slag cement, are used to bind and strengthen concrete, mortar, and other building materials. As a crucial component of infrastructure development, the cement industry plays a vital role in the broader economy, supporting activities across 4100 Construction of buildings, 4200 Civil engineering, and other related sectors.

Production process

The production of hydraulic cements under cpc code 3744 typically involves the grinding and blending of raw materials, such as limestone, clay, and other mineral additives. The raw materials are first crushed, dried, and then heated in a kiln to produce clinker, the primary ingredient of cement. The clinker is then ground with gypsum and other admixtures to create the final cement product, which can be tailored to meet specific performance requirements.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of hydraulic cements under cpc code 3744 include limestone, clay, and other mineral resources, as well as energy sources like coal or natural gas to power the kilns. Specialized machinery, such as crushers, mills, and packaging equipment, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce to operate the production facilities and ensure quality control.

Production outputs

The primary output of cpc code 3744 is various types of hydraulic cements, which are then used as a key ingredient in the production of concrete, mortar, and other construction materials. These cements are consumed by industries classified under 4100 Construction of buildings and 4200 Civil engineering, as well as by manufacturers of precast concrete products and other construction-related goods.
