It covers from mill internals to the use of grinding aids. A cement clinker is usually ground using a ball mill. This hardware is generally divided into two or three chambers, with different size of grinding media. As the clinker particles are ground further, smaller media are more efficient at reducing the particle size even further.
The effect of clinker grinding aids (GAs) on mill performance and cement properties is currently quantified in real-scale grinding plants. In fact, laboratory-grinding mills operated for given time interval do not consider the effect of circulating load, thereby leading to increased specific energy consumption (Ec) with excessively wide cement …

The use of high-pressure grinding rolls (HPGR) prior to ball mills has become a common practice in cement clinker grinding due to significant energy savings in comparison to ball milling alone. The energy savings has been attributed to higher energy efficiency of HPGR at low reduction ratios, smaller particle top sizes in the ball mill feed, and the weakening …
Vertical roller mills and ball mills represent two clearly distinct technologies. However, with proper adjustments to the operational parameters of the vertical roller mill almost identical cement properties can be achieved by the two mills that satisfy the cement user's demands.Nevertheless, the two types of mills have their distinctive merits.
Large clinker nodules (Figure 2) are difficult to cool, transport and grind into cement. Clinker should ideally have a smaller average nodule size and a narrow nodule size range. More uniformly sized clinker is more evenly distributed into the cooler and has more consistent bed porosity, which enables more stable cooler and kiln operation.
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 …
