Optimization of grinding plants.
The main trends concerning grinding processes in the cement industry are still higher efficiency, reduction of the power consumption and system simplicity. Therefore new grinding systems are applied in the cement industry. In fact these grinding systems are not really new as they are since more than 30 year on the market but relatively new in cement plants concerning clinker grinding. These grinding systems are the high pressure grinding rolls, the vertical roller mill and the horizontal roller mill. The energy saving potential by applying these grinding systems amounts up to 50 %. Furthermore the optimization of existing ball mills and their energy saving potential plays still an important role in cement grinding.Author: K. Eichas |
