A NOVEL TECHNOLOGY FOR CEMENT GRINDING IN

VERTICAL MILLS

Abstract:

In the cement industry, the necessity of continuous improvements in the

grinding process and the related cost reduction has promoted the diffusion of
vertical cement mills worldwide. These particular mills present a vast series
of advantages with respect to traditional, horizontal ball mills: in the first
place, given their lower specific energy consumption (measured in kWh/t of
produced material) and higher production (t/h) values, vertical cement mills
are slowly, but steadily, outnumbering “traditional”, horizontal ball mills.
Nevertheless, for reasons which derive principally from a different
ventilation, “traditional” grinding aids don’t seem to be able to provide the
same performance enhancements which are achieved in horizontal ball
mills. The present article describes a novel class of grinding aids developed
especially for vertical mills. Furthermore, an innovative dosage technology
which substantially increases the performances of these products is also
described. The combined effect of these two distinct aspects constitutes an
efficient, new technical approach for cement grinding in vertical mills“
