About cement, lime and plaster manufacturing services
cpc code 88535 covers the manufacturing services for cement, lime, and plaster products. These materials are essential inputs for the construction industry, playing a crucial role in the development of infrastructure, buildings, and various other structures. The cement, lime, and plaster manufacturing sector is a significant contributor to the overall economy, providing employment opportunities and supporting the growth of related industries.
Production process
The production of cement, lime, and plaster involves a series of complex processes. Cement is typically manufactured by grinding and heating limestone, clay, and other raw materials in a kiln to produce clinker, which is then ground into a fine powder. Lime is produced by heating limestone or seashells to drive off carbon dioxide, leaving behind calcium oxide. Plaster is created by heating and grinding gypsum, which is then mixed with water to form a paste that can be molded and dried.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the cement, lime, and plaster manufacturing industry include limestone, clay, gypsum, and other raw materials. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment, such as kilns, grinders, and mixing tanks, as well as energy sources like electricity and fuel to power the production processes.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of the cement, lime, and plaster manufacturing industry are cement, lime, and plaster products. These materials are widely used in the construction industry, where they are essential for the production of concrete, mortar, and various building materials. Other industries that may consume the outputs of this sector include 88531 Concrete manufacturing services, 88532 Concrete product manufacturing services, and 88533 Plaster product manufacturing services.
