Difference Between Cement Vertical Mill and Ball Mill

As we all know, in cement industry, cement production is a large energy-consuming household, and among the different processes, grinding power consumption accounts for a relatively large amount. In the current cement plants, it is a problem that grinding equipment manufacturers need to consider if they want to better realize energy saving and consumption reduction in cement production, improve grinding technology, and reduce the energy cost.

Traditional cement grinding technology The cement mill has low output, high energy consumption, low quality of finished cement, and high production costs. It is necessary to strengthen the upgrading and upgrading of the cement grinding process. In the development of new grinding equipment, AGICO, as a well-known comprehensive service provider of grinding systems in China, has a large machining workshop and complete parts supply, which not only shortens the supply cycle of cement vertical grinding, but also uses advanced grinding technology. Compared with the traditional ball mill, it can save electricity by 30% per ton, reduce energy consumption, and reduce dust concentration in the production process, improving environmental protection benefits.

Difference Between Cement Vertical Mill and Ball Mill

Design Structure

Ball mills are divided into various types due to different specifications, discharge and transmission methods, but their main structures are generally the same. It is mainly composed of a cylindrical barrel, a liner, a silo plate (only for a multi-bin mill), a main bearing, a feeding and discharging device and a transmission system. The structure is more complicated.

The vertical mill is simple in structure and reasonable in design. It is mainly composed of the main machine, feeder, classifier, blower, pipeline device, discharge hopper, electrical control system, and collection system.

Energy Consumption

Ball mill is a kind of equipment with high energy consumption. During operation, all parts of the ball mill are in motion, with large vibration and high energy consumption;

Compared with the ball mill, the vertical mill can save 30% -40% of energy consumption, and has low vibration, which is a low energy consumption.

Energy Saving and Noise Reduction

When the vertical mill is in operation, the grinding roller does not directly contact the grinding disc, and the vibration is small, the noise is low, and the sound is soft. Generally, it is about 80 dB, which is about 20-25 dB lower than that of the ball mill.

The vertical mill adopts full negative pressure operation, with small dust, clean consumption and no dust pollution, while the ball mill is open, large dust, and great environmental pollution.

Many examples show that in terms of energy saving and emission reduction, the advantages of the new cement vertical mill are far greater than ball mills, and further promote the energy conservation and environmental protection technology advancement of the cement industry, and achieve the goal of energy conservation and emission reduction as soon as possible!
