Finished Product
• Advantages
• Moderate investment costs
• Simple operation
• Simple maintenance
• Highest reliability
• Disadvantages
• little or no control of fineness
• not adapted to high fineness (possibility of overgrinding)
• broad particles size distribution
• higher temperature of products
• Limited drying capacity

Roller Mill
• Advantages
• Good efficiency factor
• High drying capacity
• Combined grinder, separator and dryer in one unit
• Popular for coal and raw material grinding with high
moisture content
• Disadvantages
• Complex operation
• Reliability – maintenance costs
• Vibrations
• Management of gypsum dehydration in cement grinding

• Pneumatic slide choke plates on
both sides of feed hopper needed to
control intake and therefore power.
Roller Press
• Advantages
• High efficiency factor
• Compact installation
• High production increase when used as pregrinding
• Disadvantages
• High investment costs
• Complex operation
• Reliabilty
• Limited drying capacity
