Limestone is a kind of rock that Lime Plant Solution machines use to make concrete. This is an enormous looking furnace, and usually looks like a large tube of bricks or metal. Limestone is heated inside this tube at extremely high temperatures — so high that it becomes liquid (a material called quicklime). When quicklime is mixed with water it forms a substance call calcium hydroxide and it is essential in the manufacture of cement. This is a critical substance as it is what helps to hold materials together to create strong structures. 

How does a lime kiln furnace work?

The Cement International Engineering lime kiln furnace directly heats the limestone to extremely high temperatures. The process starts as the limestone is charged to the top section of the furnace. In order to achieve these temperatures, the limestone is cooked for about two hours at 1000-1100 ° C with coal or oil. The limestone is heated to, well, high temperatures and as it gets heated it undergoes several chemical changes which turn the same into quicklime. After this transformation, the product quicklime is discharged from the furnace through a valve at the bottom and then cooled, for use in various other applications.
