Read MoreAs 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 ...
Read MoreGrinding aids ( Box 6.2) are compounds that are added to the clinker in the cement mill to diminish the energy required to grind the clinker into a specific fineness. Some positive effects in the cement, e.g., rheology of the paste, increased strength, can be obtained using additives, these products being generally named quality improvers ...
Read MoreSome coolers have water cooled steel jackets, or water cooled clinker spreaders, and others have a special row of quench grates with their own air supply, to spread the clinker rapidly over the width of thee cooler at the inlet. ... a certain amount of excess air has to be vented to the atmosphere or used for the drying and grinding of raw ...
Read MoreStep 2: clinker sintering. Clinker sintering is a crucial link in clinker calcination, which mainly occurs in the cement kiln. Inside the kiln, raw meals are heated by rising temperature and generate a series of physical and chemical reactions. When the temperature reaches its peak, the clinker will be produced by rapid cooling.
Read MoreThe hardness of the clinker samples correlated with the clinker SO 3.This related to the influence of SO 3 on the ratio of C 3 S/C 2 S in the clinker (Fig. 1) and on alite crystal size (Table 4).In order to obtain a similar fineness (Blaine 3600 ± 50 cm 2 /g), the time, for grinding the clinker with relatively high SO 3, was extended.The residue of the …
Read MoreEnergy efficiency in clinker production. The cover story captures the journey of an age-old system of grinding to the present one. 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.

Read MoreClinker Cooling – After leaving the kiln, the clinker is extremely hot. Manufacturers must cool the clinker rapidly to ensure its physical properties. They use air or water in specialized cooling units …
Read MoreClinker grinding technology is the most energy-intensive process in cement manufacturing. Traditionally, it was treated as "low on technology" and "high on energy" as grinding circuits use more than 60 per cent of total energy consumed and account for most of the manufacturing cost. Since the increasing energy cost started burning the benefits …

Read MorePortland cement clinker - overview. Portland cement clinker is a dark grey nodular material made by heating ground limestone and clay at a temperature of about 1400 °C - 1500 °C. The nodules are ground up to a fine powder to produce cement, with a small amount of gypsum added to control the setting properties. This page gives a thumbnail …
Read MoreLimestone is much easier to grind than clinker. The common intergrinding of limestone and clinker in classical ball mills is there-fore producing a cement of very high surface. The higher the limestone content, the higher the negative impact of its surface on water demand and powder flowability.
Read MoreIn all cases, the best clinker is the one that has a vintage's fineness close to 13-15% for the refusal of 100 µm. This latter gives a well-formed clinker nodules, well homogenized phases and indicating cement's good …
