This study investigates the effect of the amount and composition of cement ball mill feed on Blaine fineness and
cement residue. The collected data were obtained using a ball mill for grinding clinker and additive materials
(pozzolana and gypsum) at different amounts and composition of feed. The fineness of cement was measured as
specific surface by air permeability method (Blaine Method) and residue was calculated as cumulated residue on a 45
microns sieve. It was found that the cement residue increased with an increase in the amount and composition of feed
while the Blaine fineness decreased. The clinker particles are substantially reduced in size to generate a certain level
of fineness as it has a direct influence on such performance characteristics of the final product. This study was
initiated to collect significant data to establish the proper fineness and residue cement product.
Keywords: Blaine fineness, residue, ball mill, grinding, cement.

The residue was calculated as cumulated residue efficiency. Therefore the roughness of cement is

cement residue increased with the increase in the clinker content (Table 3) has high residue

large amount of feed leads to low grinding pozzolana content (Table 4).
The relationship between Blaine fineness and the screen increases. The slope of the line on the
residue on a 45 microns sieve at different clinker graph is more vertical compared to
amounts of clinker and pozzolana is shown in pozzolana graph. This means that the pozzolana

تبحث ىذه الدراسة تأثير كمية التغذية في طاحونة األسمنت في نعومة االسمنت وتركيبيا .وقد تم الحصول عمى النتائج باستخدام
طاحونة تحتوي عمى كرات خاصة بطحن الكمينكير والمواد المضافة إ ليو (البوزالنة والجبس) عند تركيب وكميات تغذية مختمفة .
كذلك تم تحديد نعومة األسمنت من خالل قياس المساحة السطحية لألسمنت الناتج من عممية الطحن بطريقة نفاذية اليواء .أما
