Purpose

Ball Mills across industries consume 3% of the World generated electric energy. We believe that milling of raw materials can be done more efficiently. We strive to reduce energy consumption of Ball Mills by up to 100% with the introduction of a Conical Ball Mill.

Ball Mills in Numbers:
  • Ball Mills were invented in XIX century and have not changed much since then.
  • Efficiency of a Ball Mill is only about 6%.
  • Energy consumption in cement ball mills is in the range of 44 to 77 kWh per ton of cement produced. For an average cement plant with 1Mta production electricity costs of operating ball mills are in the range of $1,500,000 to $3,000,000 annually.
  • 3.3 billion tons of cement produced worldwide in 2010. This factors into 200 terawatt of energy or around 10 billion dollars of electricity cost per annum.
  • Conical Mill is 1.3 to 2.7 times more efficient than conventional ball mills which improves the bottom line of a plant by $300,000+ per mill per year.
