The vertical roller mill (VRM) is a versatile grinding machine widely used in various industries. It can grind a variety of materials, including:
- Cement: Clinker, gypsum, and limestone
- Raw materials for cement manufacturing: Limestone, clay, and shale
- Coal and petcoke: Especially in power plants and cement kilns
- Metalliferous ores: Iron ore, copper ore, and gold ore
- Industrial minerals: Calcite, feldspar, quartz, and mica
- Slag: From steel plants (blast furnace slag) and from cement plants (granulated blast furnace slag)
- Non-metallic minerals: Talc, barite, and bentonite
The ability to handle a wide range of materials, combined with its efficiency in grinding and energy-saving characteristics, makes the VRM a popular choice in industrial processes.
