SUMMARY
Cement production typically requires the grinding of three
separate types of material during the process: the raw ma-
terials and coal before the kiln, and the final cement product
once firing is complete and the clinker cooled. Looking back
on a century or more, ball mill systems were used for all
three grinding stages, but the development of more energy-
efficient vertical roller mills (VRMs) led to their replacement.
Initially, this focused on grinding coal and the cement raw
materials, with the adoption of vertical roller mills for cement
product grinding with its finer grinding requirements com-
ing more recently, in the late 1990s. The main reason for
the delay in uptake of VRM technology for cement grinding
was the concerns of producers that their product qualities
would not meet market requirements, specifically in three
key areas: water demand, strength development and set-
ting times. Over the past 15 years, however, it could be
demonstrated that these concerns are unfounded, and that
the quality of cement obtained from VRM grinding is as
good as, or in some cases better than, that produced in a
ball mill. In consequence, most of the worlds major cement
producers now use vertical roller mills for cement grinding
with no hesitation.3

Realisierung dieser drei Mahlprozesse fast ausschlielich nur
Kugelmhlen eingesetzt, meist im Kreislauf mit einem Sich-

und der Rohmehlerzeugung, bis in den spten 1990er Jahren
die Vertikal-Wlzmhle auch bei der Zementmahlung mit
ihren spezifisch hohen Anforderungen an die Mahlfeinheit
den Einzug hielt. Der Hauptgrund fr die spte Akzeptanz
der Vertikal-Wlzmhle bei der Zementmahlung war die ver-
breitete Skepsis bei den Zementherstellern, dass die Qualitt
des in der Vertikal-Wlzmhle hergestellten Finalprodukts
Zement den Marktanforderungen nicht entsprechen knnte,
speziell was die Anforderungen an den Wasserbedarf, die
Festigkeitsentwicklung und die Verarbeitungszeiten betrifft.
ber die letzten 15 Jahre konnte jedoch der Nachweis
erbracht werden, dass die bisherigen Bedenken unbegrndet
waren und der in einer Vertikal-Wlzmhle erzeugte Zement
hinsichtlich seiner Qualitt einem Kugelmhlenzement nicht
nachsteht, fallweise sogar besser sein kann. Im Ergebnis die-

1 Introduction matically some possible alternative flowsheets using VRMs

There is no question that vertical roller mills like the Loesche
Mill offer significant advantages over ball mills in terms of
their energy efficiency. As noted in a current publication (1)
the specific power consumption of a ball mill is higher than
that of a vertical roller mill (VRM) carrying out the same oper-
ations by a factor of between 1.5 and 2, depending on the
degree of optimisation of the ball mill. Fig. 1 illustrates this
connexion, as well as showing the increasing energy bene-
fit that can be obtained with a vertical roller mill as the spe-
cific Blaine surface area rises.

and ball mills.
With the focus here being on ball mills and VRMs, Table 1
shows some comparative performance parameters for the
two systems when used for grinding cement. It has to be
remembered that there are major differences in the mech-
anism of grinding between VRMs and ball mills, in terms of
how grinding occurs, the residence time, the level of repeat
grinding and recirculation factors, among others.
In a VRM, comminution occurs by pressure and shear forces
that are introduced via the grinding rollers. In ball mills, com-
minution is mainly done by impact, with the grinding balls
