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
2.1 Initial Consultation & Capacity Planning
Initially, the client was unsure about the ideal production capacity for his lime plant. To help him make an informed decision, we provided detailed material lists and cost breakdowns for plants with varying output levels. This enabled him to accurately estimate the total project costs—including raw materials, fuel, and land expenses—based on local market conditions. After careful evaluation, the client concluded that a small-scale 100 TPD (tons per day) lime production line would be the most suitable choice for his needs.
2.2 Technical Evaluation & Process Selection
The client had abundant limestone reserves, ensuring a stable and reliable raw material supply for the lime production plant. We presented two common production methods: the traditional rotary kiln, known for its simple operation and easy maintenance, and the shaft kiln, which offers higher production efficiency. After evaluating the options, we recommended the rotary kiln process based on the client’s preference for user-friendly and low-maintenance equipment. Additionally, we provided a detailed equipment list and investment budget to support their decision-making process.
2.3 Technical Clarifications & Client Satisfaction
Our technical team thoroughly addressed the client's key concerns, including climate considerations for plant construction and detailed equipment specifications such as ball mill sizing and operational parameters. The client expressed strong appreciation for our prompt responses and professional expertise. He also requested technical drawings and preliminary plant layout planning at this early stage to facilitate smooth project development. We assured him of our commitment to providing comprehensive, step-by-step technical support throughout the entire project implementation process.
