Grinding
Possible problems Solutions
Ball Mill • Increase mill temperature
· Low strength • Decrease internal water
· Prehydration cooling.
• Check diaphragm
temperature >100 °C
with water cooling active
• Check water cooling
system
OK Mill • Decrease water injection
· Low strength esp. for temperatures
· Prehydration below app. 110°C,
possibly add grinding aid
• Raise mill temperature if
below 110°C to increase
gypsum dehydration
• Reduce wet materials

Silo storage
Possible problems Solutions
· Prehydration • Shorten storage time
· False set • Increase mill temperature to
increase gypsum dehydration
· Low strength • Cool hot cement before
· Lumps storage (temperature <70°C)
· Blockages • Add hydrophobic additive in
mill (may affect setting and
strength negatively)
• Add less gypsum, replace
some with anhydrite
• Decrease C3A and
alkalisulfate content and
reduce surplus alkalies in
clinker (less alkalialuminate)
• Free CaO not too low
