The FCB Horomill® is a breakthrough technology in bed compression grinding that enables producers to improve their grinding plant operation. In order to enhance the plants’ production capacity and optimize the plant maintenance, Fives has implemented significant technical development on its new generation of FCB Horomill®. Single Shoe bearing to reach mill size up to Dia. 5.0 m to increase the production capacity to improve maintenance Larger sleeve diameter to increase the operation to reduce the wear rate to smoothen operation to offer an upgrade package for the existing mills Management of moist material with aerodecantor to handle dry products up to 20% moisture (raw mix, slag, pouzzolana) to have a more flexible grinding unit to optimize the FCB TSV™ Classifier efficiency by lowering its specific feeding load to have a simple installation layout Customer benefits The lowest energy consumption: from 30% to 65% compared to ball mill, from 10% to 20% compared to vertical mill The best product quality with lower clinker ratio Zero water consumption No need of grinding aid for blended cements or slags Higher cement quality with lower Blaine Technical advantages Flexible operation thanks to low residence time, change of type of product within 5 to 10 minutes without surge hopper One unique machine suitable for cement, raw mix and slag grinding Compact installation and simple layout Production capacity non sensitive to the wear of lining – Low wear Fully automatic operation of the whole plant
