Is the use of a grinding aid in cement grinding mill beneficial? Does it really help in reducing specific power consumption?

09 October 2014 0 10K Report

Different types of grinding aids are available in market. My personal experience suggests that chance of reducing specific power consumption in cement grinding is 50-50.
