A single-compartment mill entails a pre-milled feed for proper operation, whereas a two-compartment mill yields a finer cement product than a three-compartment mill. Uniform mass distribution of balls led to slightly finer product than uniform surface area or number distributions, while the impact of a classifying liner was negligibly small.

Quicklime preparation | Gebr. Pfeiffer

The fineness of the white fine limes can be set within wide limits (0.06 to 0.1 mm). In downstream Pfeiffer lime hydrators, water is added to quicklime, thus transforming it into lime hydrate. White fine lime is used for the production of limestone bricks and aerated concrete. Lime hydrate is used for the production of plaster and mortar.
