For this purpose, influences of 250, 350 and 450 g/t of dosages of an amin-based commercial GA on the cement grinding circuit was compared with the condition in which GA was not used. The effects of GA dosage on the ball mill and air classifier were examined in detail considering the change in the residence time of the material.

As a general rule, there should be less than 25% of clinker that is below 1mm in size. Coarse clinker is more of an issue for ball mills. Some cement groups use a formula, such as Bond's, to calculate the maximum ball size required in a ball mill, based on the average size of the clinker feed. However, one drawback with this approach is that ...

High working efficiency: ... The cement ball mill adopts grinding aid, which can improve grinding efficiency and reduce grinding power consumption without …

Grinding energy was approximately 50 per cent of the ball mill and the drying capabilities allowed direct processing of materials of up to 20 per cent moisture content. The main energy issue was the high …

Ball size distribution was found to get finer towards the mill discharge end, except for the sample collected at the second meter of the compartment which indicated true ball size classification. The concept of true ball size classification was discussed for cement grinding multi-compartment ball mills by Genç et al. (2008). This condition ...

Cement raw mills typically include a hopper, which feeds material into the mill, grinding elements such as rollers or balls, a separator, and a drive system for rotating the rollers or balls. The ...

Where W is the grinding work in kJ/kg, c is the grinding coefficient, da is the grain size (typically 80% passing) of the source material, and de is the grain size (typically 80% passing) of the ...

When grinding cement, the abrasion of the ball mill is 300-1000 g/t, while that of the roller press is 0.5g/t, so it can meet the requirements of grinding white cement. Low Noise The noise of the ball mill is more than 110d, while the cement roller press is about 80dB. Environmental Friendly

The cement mill is either a Ball mill with two chambers or Vertical roller mill with inbuilt classifier.
