Clinker Grinding
A cement clinker is usually ground using a ball mill. This hardware is generally divided into two or three chambers, with different size of grinding media. As the clinker particles are ground further, smaller media are more efficient at reducing the particle size even further. Grinding can be either 'open circuit' or 'closed circuit'.
