Clinker grinders are an important part of the cement manufacturing process. They are used to grind clinker into a fine powder and are typically located at the end of the cooler in a cement plant. Clinker is a nodular material produced during the cement manufacturing process and is the primary raw material for making cement.

Clinker grinding technology is the most energy-intensive process in cement manufacturing. Traditionally, it was treated as "low on technology" and "high on energy" as grinding circuits use more than 60 per cent of total energy consumed and account for most of the manufacturing cost. Since the increasing energy cost started burning the benefits …

A typical raw mix consists of 75-85% limestone, 12-25% shale, the balance consisting of silica or quartzite and iron oxide. Exact proportioning is dependent upon their chemical properties before and after calcining to cement clinker. For good kiln practice the grind required is 88-92% – 200 mesh for standard cement, 99%-200 mesh for high early.
However, different from ordinary multivariate time series prediction problems [12], cement raw materials grinding is a dynamic process with non-linear, strong coupling among input variables.In the grinding process, the fluctuation of one variable will lead to the fluctuation of other related variables [13].Therefore, it is difficult to extract the dynamic …

The proportion of raw materials of different specifications of cement is also different. Generally, the proportion of components in cement raw materials is 67-75% limestone, 10-15% clay, 0.5-1.5% iron ore and 8.5-11% coal.
Grinding of cement raw material – material separation in cyclones. The cement raw material mixtures are ground, dried, and classified in the Pfeiffer vertical roller mill. For drying the material, hot gases are directed into the mill. Product fineness can be adjusted within a wide range (0.063 to 0.2 mm).

Coloured cements are made by grinding 5 to 10 percent of suitable pigments with white or ordinary gray portland cement. Air-entraining cements are made by the addition on grinding of a small amount, about 0.05 percent, of an organic agent that causes the entrainment of very fine air bubbles in a concrete.
The quality of cement clinker is directly related to the chemistry of the raw materials used. Around 80–90% of raw material for the kiln feed is limestone. Clayey raw material accounts for between 10–15%, although the precise amounts will vary. Magnesium carbonate, which may be present in limestone, is the main undesirable impurity. The level
