Product: Technical support to the client. Introducing retainer ring for the improvement of mill performance.

Location: Southeast Asia

Client: Leading cement producer in the region.

Result: 5 to 16 % increase in output with two main products along with achieving required blaine generation.

Client had complaint of poor blaine generation after converting their mill into monochamber design. VEGA advised introducing a retainer ring with suitable
partition of the grinding length.

Problem

The mills were in operation with two chamber and converted into monochamber with expectation of the improvement in the mill performance. After conversion of mills into monochamber design, mill output dropped, and Blaine generation also decreased.
