How Much Does a 30-Ton Per Hour Steel Slag Vertical Mill Cost?

This is a question we get alot from our clients in the steel and construction industries. The short answer is: it depends. A lot. The price for a vertical mill capable of handling 30 tons of steel slag per hour can vary widely, typically ranging from several hundred thousand dollars to well over a million USD. The final cost is influenced by a complex mix of factors including the mill’s specific technological features, motor power, material of construction, level of automation, and perhaps most importantly, the manufacturer you choose.

Key Factors That Drive the Price

You can’t just pick a mill off a shelf based on capacity alone. Here’s what really impacts the bottom line:

  • Grinding Efficiency & Power Consumption: A more energy-efficient mill might have a higher upfront cost but saves you a fortune in electricity bills over its lifetime. Look for mills with advanced grinding curves and separators.
  • Wear Part Durability: Steel slag is extremely abrasive. Mills built with high-performance wear-resistant alloys for rollers and liners will cost more initially but drastically reduce your downtime and spare part replacement costs.
  • Environmental Systems: Integrated, high-efficiency pulse dust collectors and silencers are essential for modern, eco-friendly operation but add to the initial investment.
  • Automation & Control: A mill with a sophisticated PLC control system allows for precise adjustments and remote monitoring, optimizing performance but increasing the price.
  • After-Sales Support & Warranty: A reliable supplier offering comprehensive technical support and a guaranteed supply of genuine spare parts is worth its weight in gold, and this value is reflected in the cost.

A Smart Recommendation for Steel Slag

For a 30-tph steel slag application, you need a machine built for toughness and efficiency. While our range includes several capable models, the LM Vertical Slag Mill is particularly well-suited for this demanding task.

This mill is a specialist, integrating drying, grinding, powder selection, and conveying into a single, compact unit. Its unique grinding device is engineered to handle industrial wastes like steel slag and granulated blast furnace slag. A key advantage is its energy consumption, which is about 30% to 40% lower than a traditional ball mill system for the same output. It also features a negative-pressure operation that ensures no dust spillage, keeping your site clean and compliant. The robust construction, with critical parts made from high-quality, wear-resistant materials, ensures reliable operation and a long service life even with abrasive slag.

Considering Finer Applications?

If your project requires grinding steel slag down to a much finer, ultra-fine powder for higher-value applications (e.g., as a concrete additive), then our MW Ultrafine Grinding Mill is another excellent option to consider. While its capacity might be slightly lower for some models, its ability to produce powders between 325-2500 meshes is unmatched. It features a cage-type powder selector based on German technology for precise separation and boasts a design with no rolling bearings or screws in the grinding chamber, eliminating common failure points. It’s also equipped with an efficient pulse dust collector, making the entire milling process environmentally friendly.
