- AGICO is a leading cement industry equipment supplier. We could provide you with a complete turnkey solution for the ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) production line.
- Ground granulated blast-furnace slag is also often called steel slag Portland cement. It is a by-product of the process of making iron in a blast furnace. GGBS is made from the slag discharged during the ironmaking process of a blast furnace, its main component is silicate, aluminum silicate, and calcium silicate. After a specific process such as quenching and grinding, GGBS becomes a high-performance slag powder, which is widely used in the building materials field.

long-term maintenance support
the advantage of GGBS production
low CO2 emissions
Compared with traditional cement production, GGBS energy consumption production is lower to reduce CO2 emissions.
Waste use
Waste slag, a by-product of steelmaking, is reused, keep it out of landfills.
High cost-effective
GGBS is usually cheaper and lowers the cost of concrete production cost.
simple craft
GGBS production line is simple, don’t need complicated technology and maintenance required.
the process of GGBS production
01. Raw material preparation
A blast furnace slag is broken and screened by a magnetic separator and vibrating screen, getting the slag to meet standards.
02. Drying treatment
The slag is dried to remove water, ensuring the smooth progress of subsequent grinding.
03. Grinding process
After drying slag, adopting a ball mill or vertical roller mill to grind, obtain GGBS that meets the particle size requirement.
04. Classification and collection
Ground GGBS is classified by sorting machine. The finished product is collected by the bag dust collector, and transported to the silo.

The difference between ball mill and vertical roller mill
The slag grinding system has a ball mill and a vertical roller mill. Each piece of equipment has its advantages and disadvantages. The ball mill is a traditional grinding system, that has strong adaptability to materials, a large specific surface area, and better particle shape than a vertical roller mill. Its shape of particle is better than a vertical roller mill and has simple maintenance and cheap accessories. However the area is large, the power consumption is large, the material needs to be dried separately, and the process is complex. The vertical roller mill is simple. Drying, grinding, and powder selection are all completed in the mill. Its investment is small and low unit power consumption, and fast heat transfer, but more difficult to maintain than the ball mill.
