Grinding Agent

Grinding Agent

Grinding agent is a Key component for cement plants. They are generally chemical compounds that are used in the production of cement, with the objective of minimizing manufacturing costs, and maximizing value for the user.

Cement plants are expected to deliver superior performance while reducing production costs and lessening their environmental footprint. Our grinding agents make it easy to achieve these goals, by:

• increasing manufacturing capacity;
• reducing energy consumption;

Grinders and grinding agents can be used in concrete, mortar, and grout. Cement and aggregates are combined with water to form concrete, but also with various chemical additives that can modify its properties. These additives are called “grinding aids” because they improve the mechanical properties of the mixture.

Grinding aid or grinding additives refer to substances which when mixed into the mill contents cause an increase in rate of size reduction [1]. These terms are very common in cement industries where it is used to increase the throughput to the mill. Grinding aid also affect the cement flowabilitiy throughout the circuits. The grinding aid facilitates size reduction so that the mill has to apply less grinding power without having adverse effect on any of the properties of the resulting cement. Another beneficial effect of grinding aids used today is to decrease compaction in storage. It is generally improves grinding efficiency, by bringing down the limit of grinding.
