Clinker grinding technology is the most energy-intensive process in cement manufacturing. Traditionally, it was treated as "low on technology" and "high on energy" as grinding circuits use more than 60 per cent of total energy consumed and account for most of the manufacturing cost. Since the increasing energy cost started burning the benefits …

Fine grinding in general is extremely inefficient. The better mills on the market have an efficiency of about 8-9 % which means that only 8-9 % of the energy results in grinding and the majority is converted mainly into heat. The ball mill has the worst efficiency of all types of mills on the market. Just 4 % of the energy is used for comminution.
