Vertical Slag Mill Solutions for Efficient Cement and Steel Production

We provide a wide range of mills — including Raymond mill, trapezoidal mill, vertical mill, ultrafine mill, and ball mill, obtained ISO9001 international quality certification, EU CE certification, and Customs Union CU-TR certification. Suitable for processing minerals such as limestone, phosphate, quicklime, kaolin, talc, barite, bentonite, calcium carbonate, dolomite, coal, gypsum, clay, carbon black, slag, cement raw materials, cement clinker, and more.

The discharge range of these mills can be adjusted to meet specific processing needs, typically from 80-400 mesh, 600-3250 mesh, and can achieve the finest particle size of up to 6000 mesh(D50).

Revolutionizing Industrial Waste Recycling with Vertical Slag Mills

In today’s demanding cement and steel production environments, efficient waste management and resource utilization have become critical factors for sustainable operations. Vertical slag mills have emerged as game-changing equipment, transforming industrial byproducts like blast furnace slag into valuable raw materials. These advanced grinding systems not only address environmental concerns but also deliver significant economic benefits through energy savings and operational efficiency.

The Growing Importance of Slag Utilization

With global cement production exceeding 4 billion tons annually and steel production reaching 1.8 billion tons, the proper handling of slag byproducts has become an industry imperative. Traditional disposal methods are increasingly unsustainable, while modern vertical slag mills offer a profitable alternative by converting waste into high-quality supplementary cementitious materials.

Our LM Vertical Slag Mill represents the cutting edge of this technology, specifically engineered to handle the unique challenges of slag processing. With capacity ranging from 7-100 tons per hour and accepting input sizes of 38-65mm, this system integrates drying, grinding, powder selection and conveying into one compact unit.

Key Advantages of Vertical Slag Milling Technology

Vertical slag mills offer several distinct advantages over traditional ball mill systems:

  • Space Savings: Occupying only 50% of the footprint required by ball mill systems
  • Energy Efficiency: Consuming 30-40% less power compared to conventional systems
  • Dual Functionality: Combining grinding and powder selection in a single device
  • Environmental Benefits: Low noise operation and negative pressure system prevent dust emissions

Our Recommended Solution: LM Vertical Slag Mill

For operations seeking maximum efficiency in slag processing, we particularly recommend our LM Vertical Slag Mill, which features:

  • High-performance wear-resistant materials for extended service life
  • Uniform powder fineness with high screening rates
  • Integrated drying capability for moist slag materials
  • Automated control systems for consistent product quality

For applications requiring finer grinding of other materials, our MW Ultrafine Grinding Mill offers exceptional performance with adjustable fineness between 325-2500 meshes. This versatile machine handles input sizes up to 20mm at capacities from 0.5-25 tph, making it ideal for processing limestone, calcite, dolomite and various industrial minerals.

Working Principle in Detail

The vertical slag mill operates as a negative-pressure air-sweep type grinding system. The main motor drives the grinding table through a reducer while hot air enters through the air inlet. Materials fed to the center of the rotating table are crushed by grinding rollers, with finer particles forming a material bed for inter-particle crushing. The crushed material moves outward until carried by air flow to the separator, where coarse particles return for regrinding and fine powder is collected as product.
