As we all know that the vertical roller mill is one of very important powder making machines in the cement industry. Because of the high efficient and high capacity the vertical roller mill, so use the vertical roller mill to process the cement raw powder is the most suitable machine in cement industry. And it’s true, no matter in cement industry, the vertical roller mill also can play the great role in the industries, mining, chemical, transport and so on.

Generally speaking, ball mill is the most common powder grinding machine in the cement industry. However, with the development of the social technology, vertical roller mill can replace ball mill, in some specific circumstances; especially when we want to process the powder below 1250 mesh, the vertical roller mill has absolute advantages.

First, compare with the ultra fine powder vertical roller mill, the ball mill has higher energy consumption, in other words, the energy consumption of vertical roller mill is about 30%-50% of the ball mill. So compare with the ball mill, the vertical roller mill is more energy saving.

Second, the cost of vertical roller mill is more cheaper than ball mill, for example, if we want to get the high quality stone powder, we must process the powder in wet method, although, both the vertical roller mill and ball mill can process the powder in wet method, the ball mill need auxiliary equipment to dry powder, however, the vertical roller mill don’t need. And the covered areas of vertical roller mill is smaller than ball mill, it also can save more cost of areas.

And then, compare with the ball mill, the vertical roller mill has a better flexibility, there is no demand about the materials feeding size, and the grinding parts are easy to change, there is a customer feedback and he said in his vertical roller mill 6 years working, the grinding roller just consumes 3 mm.


And it’s true, compare with the vertical roller mill, the ball mill also has lots of advantages, for example, the finish powder size is more uniform, and output is larger, and as a traditional grinding mills, the ball mill matching most of other equipment in the cement industry. No matter traditional ball mills, or new technology vertical roller mills, Shanghai Clirik Machinery, a professional cement equipment manufacturer, also can supply them for you, thanks for your reading.
