1. Project Background
In June 2021, Mr. AT, a client from Cameroon, discovered our lime production line project online and reached out to our company. Previously, he had relied on consulting firms in the Middle East for project execution but realized that the actual equipment and technology were sourced from China. To streamline the process for his new project, he decided to directly collaborate with a Chinese manufacturer for a one-stop solution.
2. Project Process
Initial Consultation & Capacity Planning
Initially, the client was uncertain about the optimal production capacity for his lime plant. To assist him, we provided:
Material lists
Cost breakdowns for plants with different outputs
This allowed him to estimate total project costs (including raw materials, fuel, and land expenses) based on local market conditions. After evaluation, the client determined that a small-scale 100 TPD (tons per day) lime production line would best suit his needs.
Technical Evaluation & Process Selection
The client had abundant limestone reserves, ensuring stable raw material supply. We presented two common lime production methods:
Traditional rotary kiln – Simple operation, easy maintenance
Shaft kiln – Higher production efficiency
Considering the client’s preference for user-friendly and low-maintenance equipment, we recommended the rotary kiln process and provided a detailed equipment list and investment budget.
Technical Clarifications & Client Satisfaction
Our technical team addressed the client’s concerns, including:
Climate considerations for plant construction
Equipment specifications (e.g., ball mill sizing and parameters)
The client highly appreciated our prompt response and expertise. Additionally, he requested technical drawings and plant layout planning in the early stages. We assured him that we would provide step-by-step technical support as the project progressed.
