Bradley’s material processing equipment is used to pre-grind raw materials such as cement clinker for use in “ordinary Portland cement” manufacturing. But there are several varieties of specialized cement that differ from the GU – General Use Portland Cement. These Special Cements incorporate various additives to produce characteristics such as higher strength, self-leveling qualities, and more.
Bradley milling and classification equipment is commonly used to manufacture many of the additives used in the production of specialized cements. In particular, waste from other industrial processes such as steel mill slag and fly ash can be efficiently ground to powder for incorporation as pozzolans to increase the strength of cement.
