Toughness meets sustainability
TNPL is the “first” mill in the Paper Industry in the Country, producing cement by reusing inorganic solid wastes like lime sludge from the paper mill’s soda recovery plant and fly ash from power plant to produce superior-grade cement. We aspire to create a circular economy model that minimizes pollution-led damage and maximizes positive environmental impact. With the construction of TNPL’s Unit-II packaging board plant in Mondipatti using the cement manufactured by TNPL Cement Plant, we realized the circular economy.
By optimizing resources and employing pollutant by- products from TNPL’s other plants into manufacturing cement, we create a strong clean and unpolluted environment.
Infrastructure
Value Addition Manufacturing
Founded in 2013, TNPL’s cement plant is located at the heart of Tamil Nadu in Kagithapuram. Started with a capacity to manufacture 600 TPD of high-quality cement, in the year 2016 , TNPL has enhanced its production capacity to 900 TPD by introducing Pre-Calciner and other balancing equipment in the Cement Plant. Right from raw material procurement to cement production, TNPL’s Cement Plant is equipped with the most innovative and ultra-modern machinery to perform all its operations in-house.
Insmart Systems
Prepares materials for testing by grinding them into very fine powder and converted into pellets
Auto Blaine Apparatus
Determines the fineness of cement produced on the Blaine Scale to retain only the highest quality
Ametek Spectro iQ II XRF Analyzer
A sophisticated X-ray fluorescence spectrometer that determines the chemical composition of raw materials, in-process materials and final product accurately
Compression Strength Testing
Mortar cubes of cement and fly ash–lime are cured laboratory curing tanks and tested for compression strength
Products
TNPL boasts two cement ranges catering to different use-cases. Equipped with superior strength, durability and high-resistance, both the products are manufactured from carefully segregated and hand-picked high-reactive fly-ash.
Created from the solid waste discharged from both the paper mill and Packaging Board’s power plant, TNPL Cement is renowned for its improved workability and higher compression strength.
Product Quality and Product Development
Cementing
Uncompromised Quality
From sourcing the highest quality raw materials to optimize raw material mixing and process controls with Distributed Controlled System, all the operations at TNPL Cement comply with stringent quality controls to produce the finest output.
Our Quality Control Department conducts hourly tests to optimize particle size control and leverages XRF analyzer to optimize the chemical composition of the raw mix.
Besides recording our innovation in cement manufacturing as pioneers, our certifications testify our ardent commitment towards the environment preservation and employee safety.
Sustainability
Adding Value to Concrete Wealth
Waste to wealth is the founding ideology for TNPL’s Cement Plant. Our staunch commitment to environmental management led to repurposing the high-reactivity fly-ash and lime sludge from our paper mill and board plant power plant into the high-grade cement we produce today.
