Currently, the dual factors of severe overcapacity in cement production and a sharp decline in market demand have led to losses for some cement production enterprises. According to Chinese cement industry media reports, the capacity utilization rate was less than 60% in 2023, with demand expected to continue decreasing in 2024. The annual cement output saw a slight decline, market prices fell by 15%, production costs remained high, profit margins in the cement industry were compressed, and sales revenue dropped significantly by 17% year-on-year to approximately 740 billion RMB.
As an important fundamental material in the construction industry, the quality and performance of cement directly affect the structural safety and durability of buildings. In the cement production process, the grinding system is one of the key links, and the measurement of powdered materials is crucial. It is vital for the stability of cement quality, optimization of production efficiency, cost control, compliance with environmental standards, and enhancement of market competitiveness. Accurate measurement ensures a reasonable raw material ratio, optimizes energy consumption, guarantees cement performance, meets environmental standards, and supports the core aspects of intelligent production in cement enterprises. Therefore, strengthening the research and application of powder measurement technology is of great significance for promoting the sustainable development of the cement industry.
