The cement mill

Cement manufacturing - brief description of a cement mill. Cement clinker is usually ground using a ball mill. This is essentially a large rotating drum containing grinding media - normally steel balls. As the drum rotates, the motion of the balls crushes the clinker. The drum rotates approximately once every couple of seconds.

A more accurate characteristic is a cut size (dpc), which is defined as a particle size for which the efficiency is 50%. This particle size can be calculated approximately by equating the centrifugal force on a particle (due to its angular velocity) to the drag on the particle due to the radial gas velocity (Dietz, 1981).
