high blaine - high residue
Good day,
i am currently experiencing short setting time on OPC cement with a blaine of 4000 cm2/g but the residue on a 45 micron sieve is 30%. The ball mill is open circuit. Charge was added but still getting high residue. Can anyone explain to be why the blaine is high and residue also high? what can i do to decrease the blaine.

Dear Sir,
Regarding your query of high residue levels at higher blaine, you can try this by collecting chamber sampling from the mill at every meter from the mill entry to mill outlet and do the analysis for blaine and residue levels. you will find out bliane and residue levels at each meter along the mill length. may be the optimisation of grindig media needs to be done for the location where you are getting these high residues, since being open circuit mill.
if you want to control residue levels, then we suggest to go for close circuiting of the circuit by installing Separator in the circuit.
Regards
SP.

Dear
Any change in clinker or additive used for above grinding mill.
What factor you have selected for changing grinding media before your grinding media optimisation / up gradation ,
When you empty out mill for mill checking.
Check that grinding media may not in same position as per your charging pattern.
With regards
