Cement production requires significant energy, and entails high costs and CO2 emissions. This is because the clinker requires very fine grinding. Grinding aids can improve production and fineness and decrease energy consumption by reducing the agglomeration of particles and protecting the balls and liners in the mill. In this study we …
Grindability of a 95/5 OPC at various Blaine fineness: o 27-32 kWh/t at 3,000 cm²/g. o 39-47 kWh/t at 4,000 cm²/g. o 58-69 kWh/t at 5,000 cm²/g. Every 100 cm²/g increase in cement fineness increases the mill power consumption by 1-2 kWh/t for a closed circuit mill & 2-3 kWh/t for an open circuit mill, a sheer waste if this is not required ...
This is the solution for grinding aids sika can offer. Grinding aids, strength enhancers and quality improvers are based on chemical products. Grinding aids work mainly by dispersing ground cement particles to avoid agglomerates, enabling an increase in production of up to 25 per cent. 1 In vertical roller mills, they can additionally be used to reduce vibrations …
Grinding aids (GAs) are a kind of additive commonly used in cement, which can effectively reduce the energy consumption of cement research and production processes [1], [2]. It has been confirmed that the addition of GAs of 0.01 %–0.05 % by cement weight to ball mills can significantly increase the machine-hour output of cement mills [3] .
