Reducing Emissions Through Smarter Grinding
Daragrind™
The transformation of raw material into clinker, powered by fossil fuel combustion, accounts for the majority of CO₂ emissions at a cement plant.
Daragrind™ grinding aids are precision-engineered solutions designed to optimize mineral processing by:
- Improving grinding efficiency
- Eliminating agglomeration and coating issues in mills
- Reducing energy consumption per ton of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs)
Tailored for all milling systems, Daragrind™ ensures target fineness is achieved while enhancing raw meal reactivity in the kiln. The result: smoother clinkerization and lower carbon emissions. Daragrind™ delivers consistent performance regardless of clinker variability, enabling significant savings in energy, maintenance, and operational costs.
Daragrind™ Range: Solutions for various applications
- Daragrind™ F
- Food-Compliant Applications: Suitable for minerals in food-contact packaging, minimizing re-agglomeration during dry grinding.
- Operational Efficiency: Enhances flowability for improved storage, transport, and bagging.
- Daragrind™ M
- Efficient Mineral grinding: Increases mill productivity, reduces energy use, and enables higher SCM substitution (e.g., limestone, slag, fly ash) for lower clinker content and CO₂ emissions.
- Finer Particle Control: Ensures optimal SCM fineness and particle distribution for consistent cement performance.
- Daragrind™ R
- Raw Meal Grinding: Achieves ideal fineness for high-reactivity clinker, leading to reduced kiln fuel consumption and emissions.
- Mill Performance: Prevents coating and pack-set in raw meal grinding systems.
