Ramco Cements has announced a significant increase in its cement grinding capacity after successfully carrying out de-bottlenecking at two of its major plants. The company's Kalavatala Plant in Andhra Pradesh and Valapady Grinding Unit in Tamil Nadu have both seen capacity upgrades.

One of the most commonly used methods is the Hardgrove Grindability Index (HGI). HGI for coal is determined by grinding 50 g of sample in a ball and ring type mill for 60 revolutions, after which the product is sieved through a 200 mesh sieve (75 micron screen) (Speight, 1994).

Experiments included the determination of grinding capacity, mill power consumption, and laboratory analysis of coal characteris-tics and Hardgrove grindability index (HGI). The analysis of experimental results found that the grinding capacity has a negative correlation with the ash content in coal.

The work index (Wi) expresses the kWh required to reduce a short ton of material from theoretically infinite feed size to 80 % passing a square screen opening of 100 microns. The work index values apply to ball mills grinding wet in closed circuit.

The Bond work index is widely used to estimate the power required to grind materials. Because of the difficulty in determination of this index, alternatives to the standard method have been developed by many researchers. Elastic parameters can be determined by using static and dynamic methods.
