Full of energy but efficient As the grindability of the feed materials increases, so does the effi-ciency of the high-pressure grinding and the polycom reveals its full potential. In these cases, compared to a roller mill, up to 20 percent of the energy required for grinding can be saved com-
Greater efficiency, lower energy consump-tion, and maximum simplicity these are the trends driving the development of grinding technology in the cement indus-try. Mills of various types are used in cement works, from grinding the raw material through to
The cement industrys total energy demand increased by 9.3 percent. Clinker production, however, rose by 26 percent. Therefore, energy use per tonne of clinker decreased by 14 percent over the nine-year period. These energy efficiency gains reflect continued technology improvements from wet process to dry process, including preheater ...
Cement grinding aid and performance enhancers are additives that are used to perk up the cement production efficiency and simultaneously reduce the energy consumption. Cement grinding aids are mainly used for recuperating cement clinker grinding effectiveness, power, flowing ability, and potency expansion of binders.
