Abstract :
The experiences of applying roller mills to the production of finely ground products such as cement and slag are presented and reviewed. The unique process and operating conditions which need to be controlled and their impact on the success of the system are also discussed. The range of mill design features which are being used today are shown and compared. The increase in the number and size of the finish grinding roller mills installed relates to their successful field experiences, reduced power requirements, increased confidence in reliability and simplicity of the installations
