Introduction:
In the most general sense of the word, cement is a binder, a substance that sets and hardens independently, and can bind other materials together. Cement used in construction is characterized as hydraulic or non-hydraulic. Hydraulic cements (e.g. Portland cement) harden because of hydration chemical reactions that occur independently of the admixture's water content; Non-hydraulic cements (e.g. lime and gypsum plaster) must be kept dry in order to retain its strength. There are 31 cement industries in Bangladesh1. Material handling is one of the most important tasks in cement industry. Material Handling is the movement, storage, control and protection of materials, goods and products throughout the process of manufacturing, distribution, consumption and disposal2 .

Belt
A conveyor belt (or belt conveyor) consists of t o or more pulleys, wit a continuous loop of material - t e conveyor belt - t at rotates about t em. One or bot of t e pulleys are powered, moving t e belt and t e material on t e belt forward. The powered pulley is called the drive pulley while the unpowered pulley is called the idler.
Figure: belt conveyor Belt conveyor is very simple in design and widely used in many industries. Belt conveyor is mostly used in cement industry to convey raw material to grinding machine. After grinding raw material it is conveyed by belt conveyor for mi ing process. Finally when cement clinker is grinded again finished cement is transferred for packaging through belt conveyor. Also lot of cement is transferred in belt conveyor in silos after packaging. Belt conveyer is very basic material handling equipment and used frequently in cement plant.

Elevator conveyor:
Elevator conveyor is a precise solution to the vertical movement of dry and free flowing bulk materials for the Cement Industry. The Bucket Elevator is constructed using stainless steel or mild steel buckets attached to a belt or chain. Encased in a steel enclosure the elevated material is protected from the atmosphere, giving the Bucket Elevator the ability to be used internally or externally of buildings. In cement industry processing materials are uplifted vertically to feed in preheater. For a uplifting operation elevator conveyor are used in cement industry. As shown in fig:

Screw Conveyor:
Screw Conveyors have a variety of uses. Variations in the flight design allow Screw Conveyors to:

With the bespoke construction of the screw conveyor it is possible to have multiple in feeds and a single out feed. In cement industry tons of material are processed the upper listed operation. When a semi liquid material is dried in a dryer obtained clinker is stored in a storage through screw conveyor.
Silos:
A silo is a structure for storing bulk materials. Silos are used in agriculture to store grain or fermented feed known as silage. Silos are more commonly used for bulk storage of grain, coal, cement, carbon black, woodchips, food products and sawdust. Three types of silos are in widespread use today - tower silos, bunker silos and bag silos. The cement storage silo is used for storing the finished product cement

Conclusion:
Material handling system is a basic component in cement Industry. Tons of bulk material are conveyed , uplifted, and stored in cement Industry so material handling equipment like Conveyor, Elevator, Silos are the essential part of cement Industry. In this seminar we have defined a theoretical portion of material handling system in cement industry. We searched in internet for required information of our topics. Finally we decided to take a chhatak cement Industry as a case study in a second portion of this seminar.
