Cement

ASMENT TEMARA has an annual production capacity of 1.2 million tons of cement. We produce four types of cements which are distinguished by their composition, resistance and use. We meet the specific needs of our customers in terms of quality, consistency, resistance and environmental performance.

ASMENT TEMARA cement is subject to regular and in-depth controls at each stage of the manufacturing process, thus ensuring the compliance of the finished product with Moroccan standard NM 1001004.

All of our products have been used in many construction projects in Morocco, and we continue to invest in research and development in order to provide our customers with innovative solutions tailored to their needs.

ASMENT TEMARA now markets several products: CPJ 35, 45, 55 and 65 which is mainly intended for prefabrication and ready-mixed concrete.

We also use advanced technologies (an online ordering portal, the automation of the flow management of trucks on delivery, a customer relationship management tool-CRM) to improve the customer experience and offer them more proximity, improve responsiveness with better after-sales service.

Our cement supplies several cities in Morocco and to serve customers in the Gharb region, a distribution center was opened in 2019 in Sidi Slimane with a delivery capacity of 1,000 tons per day.

Our Company builds customer loyalty through its Loyalty Program, Asmenty, which aims to support our customers in their progress by creating a lasting and win-win relationship.
Our company is ISO 9001 certified for quality and ISO 14001 for the environment.


Production Process

? Pre homogenization

Pre homogenization

Everything begins with the mining of the limestone, the main raw material in cement. The material is extracted from the quarries, crushed and stored in the pre-homogenization piles. At this stage, the first samples are collected for analysis and the chemical composition of the limestone is determined, including the calcium, silicon, iron and aluminum contents.

The limestone is mixed with clay and specific additives, such as iron ores, aluminum or co-processed substitute materials, ground, and then its reduced to a very fine powder known as raw meal. A filter installed in the mill prevents dust emissions to the atmosphere at this stage. The raw meal is then stocked in special homogenization silos until it is fed to the rotary kiln.

Before entering the rotary kiln, the meal goes through a pre-calciner tower with cyclones where it is heated by hot gases from a kiln that can reach up to 1,450°C. This ensures the raw meal enters the kiln at an approximate temperature of 900°C. The material created at this stage is called clinker, an intermediate product which constitutes the basis for cement.

To finalize the clinker production process, the material coming out of the kiln is sent to a cooler where its temperature is reduced to under 100°C. A filter installed at the outlet of the equipment liberates the air from the cooling process to the atmosphere free of pollutants. At this stage, further samples are collected and the clinker is transported to silos and hoppers where it is stored with the other additive materials that go into the cement: gypsum, limestone, pozzolan or slag. The percentage of each one of these additives will determine the type of cement.

In this stage the mixture of clinker and additives goes to the cement mill where all the components are ground until they achieve the ideal fineness, resulting in top quality cement.

After cement grinding, the cement is stored in silos, where it remains until it is bagged or commercialized in bulk, dispatched by truck, rail or barges.
