SikaGrind®-455
SikaGrind®-455 is a high-performance grinding aid for Portland cement and other hydraulic cements. SikaGrind®-455 is a non-chloride based grinding aid developped to improve the efficiency of the grinding process. Its use can reduce the energy needed for grinding clinker and significantly increase mill through-p
SikaGrind®-455 provides the following advantages in the cement production:
- Increased the production rate (tons per hour)
- Improved the grinding efficiency
- Higher separator efficiency due to improved dispersion
- Faster achievement of the desired cement fineness
- Reduced particle fraction > 32μ of the ground cement
- Reduced re-agglomeration of the cement particles
- Less accumulation of material on grinding equipment (grinding balls and mill)
- Cost savings due to a lower energy consumption per ton of cement
- Easier handling and minimized problems with “plugging” due to improved flow characteristics
SikaGrind®-455 gives the following advantages to the finished cement:
- Reduced handling costs especially on pneumatic conveying systems
- Easier discharge of the silos
- Improved self-levelling of the cement in the silos
- Improved cement granulometry (reduced quantity of “over-milled” particles
