About LOESCHE
Since 1906, LOESCHE GmbH has been constructing vertical roller grinding
mills. Patented in 1928, our roller grinding mill technology has been continually advanced and in the meantime is synonymous with LOESCHE GmbH.
The key competence of the company is the design and development of individual concepts for grinding and drying plants for the cement, steel and iron,
power, ores and minerals industry. The service portfolio ranges from first concept to commissioning augmented by maintenance, repair, training as well as
modernization of grinding plants and spare parts activities.
In April 2012, LOESCHE GmbH, Germany, has entered into a close cooperation agreement with pyroprocess specialist A TEC Holding GmbH, Austria.
LOESCHE and A TEC will be partners for the realisation of plant improvement
projects, environmental projects and will be in the position to offer complete
process solutions.
Having taken over the specialised department Combustion Technology of
UCON AG Containersysteme KG, Gelsenkirchen, in April 2012, LOESCHE offers
thermal process technological solutions, thus covering another field of activities with related products e.g. industrial burners and hot gas generators.

Lime Saturation Factor (LSF)


The Lime Saturation Factor is a ratio of CaO to the other three main oxides. Applied to
clinker, it is calculated as:

alite

belite

belite

LSF=CaO/(2.8SiO2 + 1.2Al2O3 + 0.65Fe2O3)

200 um

100 um

Often, this is referred to as a percentage and therefore multiplied by 100.

Clinker exhibits a wide range of compositions, microstructures


and physical properties

The LSF controls the ratio of alite to belite in the clinker. A clinker with a higher LSF will
have a higher proportion of alite to belite than will a clinker with a low LSF.

Silica Ratio (SR)


The Silica Ratio (also known as the Silica Modulus) is defined as:
SR = SiO2/(Al2O3 + Fe2O3)
A high silica ratio means that more calcium silicates are present in the clinker and
less aluminate and ferrite. SR is typically between 2.0 and 3.0.

Quantification of clinker grindability

Introduction

Basically clinker grindability can be assessed by analysing the mineralogical


composition and the clinker microstructure, however quantification bears many
difficulties

State-of-the-art cement grinding plant


Water and energy precious resources

Water and energy are the basis for life and the world as we know it today

State-of-the-art
cement grinding plant

water as well as energy are not available unlimited


both resources will become scarce and more expensive

Consequently saving energy and water is essential for


ecologically and economically viable production - also or in
particular in the cement industry

Wear on grit cone

Wear on grit cone supports

Every time you have the chance of looking


into the mill internals, you should check all
parts in regards to wear (especially for the
classifier, louvre and amour ring, tires, and
table liners).

Example to the right:


The grit cone supporting tubes
show wear in the top part.
There are 8 supporting tubes.
Only the four ones above the
rollers show wear.

Example to the right:


Grit cone shows wear on two levels in front of
each roller. Wear positions and shapes are
similar.
The top level wear is in the axis of each roller.
The bottom level wear is about 50 cm ahead.
End user didn't allow SINOMA to patch the
holes, as LOESCHE recommended.

Vertical plates in front of the rollers
are worn on the upper part.
Vertical plates behind the rollers are
worn in the lower part.
The horizontal plates above roller
shaft show wear on the side in front
of the roller.

Example to the right:


The mill body armour
plates show wear on the
welding openings,
especially above 2m
between the rollers.

Wear on louvre ring

Wear on roller

Example to the right:


Abnormal wear is observed at one
position on roller 1.
During commissioning, the roller n1
faced some problems to turn freely,
then rotation was better after the first
maintenance.
Leading the roller to slip on the
grinding bed always in the same
angular position: the most likely cause
of local wear.
Other rollers and other parts of roller 1
show normal shaped wear.

Examples to the right:


Louvres in the area just behind the
rollers show significant wear.
The wear is more distinct on the
external side.
The wear in the remaining part of
the louvre ring is low.

Vertical Roller Mills (VRMs) for cement production

VRM for cement production - advantages

Thanks to the necessity of continuous improvements in the cement grinding


process and related cost reduction, Vertical Mills have been introduced to the
cement industry. Although at first this technology was mainly used for grinding
solid combustibles and kiln-feeding raw materials, recent technical improvements
allowed vertical mills to become a competitive solution for finished cement
grinding as well.

The key advantages of vertical mills with respect to ball mills can be summed up in
the following points:

Most probably, the market share of vertical mills will grow even further,
probably becoming the main cement grinding system in new plants.
The above statement was Mapeis Cement Additives Divisions vision in 2010.

Significantly lower specific energy consumption (kWh/t) (*).


One single machine for drying, grinding and separating.
Compact and on-site assembling, thus avoiding logistical problems and
related costs.
Great versatility, quick shift from one cement type to the other.
Lower sensitivity for moisture in the raw materials (if sufficient drying energy is
available).
Low noise levels, no housing is theoretically required.

by LOESCHE

(*) for cement grinding, reductions by 30-40% can well be expected.

Page 91

VRM for cement production disadvantages over BM


Known disadvantages of vertical mills over ball mills are:
Particularly high SSA values are usually more challenging to achieve (*).
Higher sensitivity for fine materials (the threshold is normally set around a
maximum of 50% of material < 4 mm).
Large amounts of water may have to be added to the grinding process in order
to maintain low levels of vibration (**). An external heat source may be needed to
order to ensure a proper gypsum de-hydration (particularly with cold clinker).
Higher initial investment costs.
(*) The achievable SSA ultimately depend upon a series of factors, among which the clinker mineralogy
and microscopic structure is probably the most important one.
(**) This is particularly true in case of particularly dusty/fine or over-burnt clinker.

Vertical mills and traditional grinding aids


What happens when a traditional GA is used in a cement vertical mill?
Practical field experience has highlighted the fact that traditional grinding
additives (GA) are much less efficient in vertical mills when compared with their
utilization in ball mills. This loss of performance is caused by the different
ventilation conditions inside the VM, which lead to the following problems:
Stripping (*) of the GA
Evaporation of the GA

GA PERFORMANCE LOSS!

The two above mentioned issues are caused by the huge airflow and the high
temperature.

by LOESCHE

(*) Stripping is a physical process where one (or more) components from a liquid stream are removed by a
vapour or vapour-like gaseous stream.

Page 92

VRM and grinding aids: an impossible marriage?

New formulations: Mapei VM grinding aids

Fortunately not!

As vertical mills are used more and more often in cement plants, Mapeis R&D
developed specific grinding aids designed for this particular application. These
products contain a blend of special high-boiling and low-volatility compounds that
ensure their effectiveness by protecting traditional components (glycols, amines)
from being influenced negatively by the harsh conditions inside vertical mills.

A synergic approach has been proven able to overcome the stripping and
evaporation of the GAs inside vertical mills:
New GA formulations, specifically designed for applications in vertical mills

This new product line consists of the following product types:

The grinding aid dosing point plays a crucial role in vertical mills. Therefore
Mapei has developed an innovative dosing system that maximises the effect of
the GA, avoiding both stripping and evaporation.
Usually, vertical mills are equipped with a water introduction system for the
stabilisation of the grinding bed: by using the existing pipelines, we can make
sure that the grinding aid is forced directly on the track and immediately comes
in contact with the surface of the material to be ground.

Cement Grinding Aids: Mechanism of action (process)

by LOESCHE

Once properly dosed on the grinding table, the GA is able to swiftly execute its primary
task: to neutralize and disperse the electrostatic charges which form on the surface of
ground material:

Page 96

Cement Grinding Aids: Mechanism of action (process)


Neutralization of the electrostatic charges results in a significant de-agglomeration of
the ground cement particles; the immediate result is a neat improvement of the
classification process by means of the separator.
As a consequence, a decrease of the mill p (differential pressure) takes places shortly
(within 5-15 min.) after the introduction of grinding aids to the VRM, and is a clear
indication that the product is working correctly.
Depending on the plant requirements, this decrease of the VRM circulating load can be
subsequently used to:

Pre-hydration of cement in VRM


In some particular cases (e.g. when the clinker is particularly dusty), the plant may be
forced to inject higher amounts of water to stabilize the grinding bed.

Pre-hydration of cement in VRM


A more sophisticated methodology to assess cement pre-hydration is TGA analysis.

While amounts of injected water < 1.5 2.0% (with respect to the VRM output) are
considered to be safe, higher amounts may trigger cement pre-hydration inside the
VRM.

A sample of cement is heated from room temperature up to 1000C and the


decreases of weight (due to release of water or CO2) are measured. It is then possible
to quantify the amount of gypsum, calcium hydroxide, limestone, hydrated phases,
etc.

A quick and convenient method for assessing pre-hydration is the corrected loss-onignition (Wk) determination:

Hydration of tricalcium silicate produces a family of different compounds usually


described as C-S-H (calcium silicate hydates).

Wk = [LOI at 450 C] [LOI at 120 C]

Water bound in such structures is usually lost over a wide range of temperatures, due
to the extreme variety of compositions of the C-S-H. Generally speaking, we can
associate the weight decrease between 200 and 400C to the water lost from C-S-H.

by LOESCHE

As a rule of thumb, Wk in excess of 0.3% indicates a pre-hydrated cement sample, for


which substantial strengths losses at all ages are very likely to occur.

Page 99

Pre-hydration of cement in VRM


The following is a typical TGA graph of a moderately pre-hydrated cement sample:

Pre-hydration of cement in VRM (solution)


Compared to water, cement grinding aids have proven themselves to be more
effective in stabilizing the grinding bed and reducing the VRM vibrations.
Introduction of GAs usually permits a significant reduction of the % of injected water,
thus minimizing the risks associated with cement pre-hydration.

Conclusions:
The reference product dosed at a traditional dosing point shows little or no effects
on the production process and cement quality.
When the same reference product is sprayed directly on the grinding track, certain
improvements can be seen, demonstrating the validity of the dosing methodology
proposed by Mapei.

Factors affect the viscosity

Variation of lubricant viscosity as a function


of temperature and pressure mineral oil

Temperature
A fluid's viscosity strongly depends on its temperature. Along with the
shear rate, temperature really is the dominating influence.
Pressure
In most cases, a fluid's viscosity increases with increasing pressure.
Compared to the temperature influence, liquids are influenced very little by
the applied pressure

Reference :Thomas G. Mezger, 'The Rheology Handbook', 3rd revised Edition, (C)
2011 Vincentz Network, Hanover, Germany

Pressure influence on viscosity: approx. +30 MPa


in pressure => +10 % in viscosity

Types of Maintenance

Types of Maintenance
Proactive Maintenance
Taken from preventive and predictive maintenance by analyzing the root
cause, not only find the source of the problem but also look for the cause
of the problem and to prevent the same problems recur.

Predictive Maintenance
Based on monitoring and measuring the condition of the assets to
determine whether they will fail during some future period and then taking
appropriate action to avoid the consequences of that failure

Preventive Maintenance
Actions performed on a time- or machine-run-based schedule

Reactive/Breakdown Maintenance
Run it till it breaks maintenance mode.
No actions or efforts are taken to maintain the equipment as the designer
originally intended to ensure design life is reached
