Contrast Ball Mill to Vertical Mill in Cement Grinding

Traditionally, the closed circuit ball mill with high efficiency separator has been the most common system for cement grinding. However, as happened with raw grinding over the last 25 years, thevertical mill is now successfully being used for many clinker grinding applications and is rapidly becoming the standard for new grinding installations. The first such vertical mill installation in the United States was part of a total plant expansion and began operation in August of 2002.

Parameter Ball Mill Vertical Mill
Energy Consumption 100% 60%
Comminution mechanisms impact, frictioncom, pression frictioncom, pression
product fineness(cm²/g) > 6 000 4 500

specific energy demand(%) 100 60 to 70
product fineness(cm²/g) > 6 000 > 6 000
wearing parts lining,grinding balls hardfaced rollers,grinding table
service life of grinding media(a) 3 to 6 partial or complete hardfacing of the working surfaces at intervals of 2 to 3 months
specific wear(g/t) 120 to 150 3 to 6
Summary • High energy consumption
• Reliable - long service life of the wearing parts
• Limitation in feed moisture – at high feed moisture external drying necessary
• High energy savings
• Very high material moisture contents (up to 25 %) can be processed
• Lowwearcosts
• Maximum achievable fineness 4 500 Blaine for OPC
