Holcim Mexico has announced a strategic investment of $55 million to construct a new grinding facility at its cement plant in Macuspana, Tabasco. ... Notably, the Macuspana plant will be the first in Mexico to produce cement with calcined clay, which can reduce CO2 emissions by up to 50% compared to conventional cement.
The consumption of energy by the cement grinding operation amounts to one third of the total electrical energy used for the production of cement. The optimization of this process would ... The second chamber is the fine grinding chamber. It is lined with classifying-type millshell liners and provided with finer ball charge.
Grinding aids to increase grinding efficiency in cement production are materials that can produce large amounts of high-quality cement in a short time by reducing surface energy by preventing ...

Non-ball mill systems such as vertical mills also benefit from dry dispersion of cement additives. Grinding additives assist with de-aeration in front of the grinding roll, which allows for smoother operation (less vibration) as well as better dispersion at the nozzle ring and in the separator, resulting in less fines in the grinding bed on the ...
