Vertical Roller Mill-1 Losche VRM-1, Germany Capacity = 3000 MTPD TOTAL PRODUCTION CAPACITY 8640 MTS PER DAY Vertical Roller Mill-2 FL Smitdh VRM-2, Denmark Capacity =5640 MTPD Vertical Roller Mill (VRM), is a type of grinding machine used to grind materials into extremely fine powder, commonly used in the cement industry. Akij Cement Company Limited has introduced Vertical Roller Mill (VRM) in Bangladesh. VRM is the most modern grinding technology of the world which ensures 2-50 micron ultra-fine cement. Akij Cement had started its journey with Losche, Germany’s VRM and later on it installed one more VRM, FL Smitdh of Denmark. Uniqueness as a Cement Company Modern Raw Material’s Grinding Technology
Akij Cement is produced from quality assured imported raw materials. Raw materials are being tested in two stages, pre-shipment stage and receiving stage at factory premises. If the pre-shipment test results are as per our preset standard, only then the raw materials are being purchased. Clinker, one of the main raw materials of cement production, is imported from trusted sources of Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam. Slag, another important raw material of Akij Slag Cement (CEM-II/B-M), is imported from Japan, Vietnam and India. Limestone and Gypsum are imported from UAE, Vietnam and Oman.

Why should You Choose Akij Slag Cement ? Carbon dioxide from the air reacts with the calcium hydroxide in concrete to form calcium carbonate. Ca (OH)2+CO2CaC–›O3+H2O This reaction, called Carbonatation or Concrete Cancer, is a slow and continuous progression from the outer surface inward. Carbonatation increases the mechanical strength of concrete, but it also decreases the pH. Below pH 10, the passivated surface of the steel rebar dissolves, and the rebar starts to corrode. Cement + Water = CSH + Ca(OH)2 + Heat Proportion of CSH to Ca(OH)2 is a measure of Permeability Slag + Ca(OH)2 = Additional CSH Gel (Reduction of permeability) Blast Furnace Slag resists steel corrosion in Concrete: The hydration process of cement produces calcium hydroxide and generate heat in the concrete which creates an internal and external thermal difference. This thermal difference forms cracks in the concrete known as thermal crack. Hydration characteristics of slag cement are such that the early rate of heat generation and peak temperature of the concrete are reduced and thus reduces thermal cracks in concrete. Blast Furnace Slag Cement controls the Thermal crack in concrete: Blast Furnace Slag Cement reduces permeability:

Slag Cement reacts to free calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2 during Hydration and thus resist Sulfate attack. Slag doesn’t contain C3A thus reduce the percentage in cement. Blast Furnace Slag is a sulfate resisting ingredient Chemical Composition of slag is quite similar to that of Clinker. Due to having a strength gaining capability of slag, it’s use in cement production as a raw material ensures extra strength compared to other cement with time. Fair-faced concrete, or decorative concrete, is mixed with aesthetic beauty in mind. It’s often smoother and lighter than traditional concrete mixes.This ensures that the natural beauty of concrete can shine through. It doesn’t need veneers or paint. Because of its smooth, uniform appearance, it stands on its own. Concrete, made with Akij Slag Cement brings out its aesthetic beauty in fare-face concrete structures. Slag Cement achieves extra strength compared to other cement with time Slag Based Grayish-White Akij Cement is known as the best fit for fare-faced structures
