Progress with Grinding Aids for Vertical Roller Mills
One of the new molecules (N° 5 - SikaGrind VRM-40) was tested in an industrial VRM in comparison to a common grinding aid (See Table 2). The OPC (CEM I) made, with a surface area of 4100cm 2 /g Blaine, was of higher quality and quantity. The reductions seen in the need for water injection and the reductions in vibration are remarkable.
