The Vertical Roller Mill (VRM) reduces the power consumption for cement grinding approximately 30-40% associated with other grinding mills. The process variables in …
In conclusion, the application of vertical roller mill technology in the cement industry has revolutionized the way cement is produced. VRMs are more energy-efficient, eco-friendly, and produce a more consistent product compared to traditional grinding mills. They are also more suitable for use in urban areas due to their lower noise level.
Vertical roller mills (VRM) have found applications mostly in cement grinding operations where they were used in raw meal and finish grinding stages and in power plants for coal grinding. The mill combines crushing, grinding, classification and if necessary drying operations in one unit and enables to decrease number of equipment in grinding circuits.
This paper deals in first place with roller mills for raw material processing. For grinding coal, slag, cement, etc., adaptations to mills and systems have to be made. 2. FUNCTIONS OF THE ROLLER MILL. The vertical roller mill fulfills 4 main functions in one compact piece of equipment: ¢ Grinding.
Vertical roller mills (VRM) have become the standard for grinding raw materials in the cement manufacturing process. However, despite the fact that more than 10 years has passed since the installation of the first VRM for clinker grinding was almost completed, many cement producers are still favouring ball mills for cement production …

For a ball mill grinding OPC to a fineness of 3200 to 3600 cm2/g (Blaine) the cost of wear parts (ball, liners and mill internals) is typically 0.15-0.20 EUR per ton of cement. For an OK mill grinding a similar product, the cost of wear parts depends on the maintenance procedures, i.e. whether hardfacing is applied.
The cement vertical mill is grinding equipment developed on the basis of similar grinding mills, so it has many irreplaceable advantages, such as high grinding efficiency, low power consumption (20-30% less power than ball mill), large drying capacity (simultaneously dry and grind materials with moisture up to 10%), the large particle size of grinding …
It is widely used in clinker grinding production of cement plant and slag grinding plant. CHAENG can provide various types of vertical cement mills with productivity of 50-250t/h. The biggest advantage of CHAENG is to have a large casting base and large machining workshops, which greatly shortens the delivery cycle of cement vertical mill.
