Lime Production Line | AGICO
Lime plays a critical role in industries such as steel, construction, chemicals, and environmental protection. As demand for high-quality lime continues to rise, more enterprises are seeking modern and efficient lime production lines that ensure stable output, low operating costs, and environmental compliance. AGICO, as a professional EPC contractor and equipment manufacturer, provides complete lime production solutions tailored to different customer needs.
- What Is a Lime Production Line?
A ✅Lime Production Line✅ is an integrated system that processes limestone into quicklime (CaO) or hydrated lime (Ca(OH)₂) through stages such as crushing, calcination, and cooling. The design and equipment selection determine not only the lime quality but also the plant’s long-term economic efficiency.
A standard lime production line typically includes:
Raw material preparation – crushing and screening limestone to proper size.
Calcination – heating limestone in a rotary kiln or vertical shaft kiln at 1000–1200℃.
Cooling & conveying – quicklime cooled for storage and transport.
Hydration (optional) – producing hydrated lime when required.
- Why Customers Choose a Modern Lime Production Line
From the perspective of lime producers, the key concerns are investment return, production stability, and product quality. A well-designed line delivers:
High efficiency: Rotary kilns with preheaters and coolers improve thermal efficiency by 20–30%.
Energy saving: Advanced designs reduce fuel consumption, cutting costs significantly.
Environmental compliance: Dust collectors and waste heat recovery systems ensure emissions meet local regulations.
Flexibility: Capable of producing quicklime or hydrated lime depending on market needs.
