In cement production, tube mills having multi-chambers are traditionally used either in open or closed circuit operations. After the introduction of high compression grinding mills (High pressure grinding rolls (HPGR), vertical roller mill (VRM) and Horomill), various circuit configurations have been developed for energy efficient grinding. In this study, in order to evaluate and compare the performances of these cement grinding technologies, industrial scale data were collected from HPGR-ball mill, VRM, Horomill and multi-chamber ball mill closed circuits.
