Better and cheaper cement: Optimising the right clinker …
— Large clinker nodules (Figure 2) are difficult to cool, transport and grind into cement. Clinker should ideally have a smaller average nodule size and a narrow nodule size range. More uniformly sized clinker is more evenly distributed into the cooler and has more consistent bed porosity, which enables more stable cooler and kiln operation.
Hydraulic Roller Press

The most used cements, Portland and Portland-composite cements, have clinker contents over 95% and 65% respectively. Clinker can be partially substituted by …
What is Cement Clinker? Composition, Types & Uses
Clinker is a nodular material produced in the kilning stage during the production of cement and is used as the binder in many cement products. The lumps or nodules of clinker are usually of diameter 3-25 mm and dark grey in color. It is produced by heating limestone and clay to the point of liquefaction at about 1400°C-1500°C in the rotary kiln. ...
