• Ore processing - grinding of ore and non-ore materials: minerals and ore concentrates, including wollastonite, asbestos and mica.
• Processing of industrial waste of the mining and smelting, heat generation industries: dumps of thermal power plants, mining plants, pyrite cinders, etc.
• Fuel production: coal grinding for water-coal fuel.
• Production of ultrahard materials: use in extra grinding of metal, ceramic and abrasive powders for obtaining functional and structural ceramics, metal ceramics, cutting tools, fire refractories and heat insulators.
• Production of metal powders: use in powder metallurgy and other needs by mechanical grinding of metal chips and rolled sheets.
• Manufacture of mineral pigments: grinding of graphite, coal, soot and antifriction materials.
• Production of building materials: cements for various purposes, microcalcite (gypsum, marble, chalk), dry construction mixtures, modifying additives of mortars and concretes, production of fillers paintwork materials.
• Production of agricultural products: production of mineral fertilizers, plant protection products and animal feed concentrates.
• Recycling of waste products of various industries: combined grinding-mixing of components.

• Not only modern high-rise construction, bridges, etc. require such cement, but also the production of lightweight concrete (foamed concretes), as well as the production of special cements (grouting, heat-resistant, radiation, for self-levelling concrete, etc.). The market for fine ground, quick-setting and other special cements is growing very fast. However, modern production facilities are not being built in Russia because of the very high cost of cement plants to get the cement to the required condition. Western countries offer an expensive technology based on jet mills. FGC is a new product, which even cement specialists are not well informed about (the product has only been on the market for 10 years).
• Cement cannot be efficiently ground and activated in the typical and well-known equipment on the market - ball and vibration mills. They are based on the principle of crushing and grinding and do not improve but rather reduce the strength of the cement stone. This principle is also the basis for various disintegrator models, but the low-wear resistance of the blast wheels and their constant replacement make them unprofitable.
• FGC is perceived by most consumers as a special cement, not as a solution to reduce consumption of the main type of cement.
• The only customers who really need the FGC are foam concrete workers, who are extremely concerned about the speed of setting, but there are rarely competent engineers among them (foam concrete technology is quite simple), so to accelerate the setting, everyone just use more cement, increasing the cost of the final product.

• Another reason for interest in FGC production is the statement (Institute Giprocement, Saint-Petersburg) that in the standard cement (particle size from 0 to 80 microns) only 20-40% is actually working. The rest of the volume works as a filler. Furthermore, the inner part of cement particles larger than 20-40 microns does not work even after 10 years. With the extreme increase in the price of cement, using it as a filler is simply unreasonable, rather use sand, which is 30 times cheaper than cement when used as a concrete filler. Thus, the market is ready for the introduction of technologies to improve the quality of existing cement on the market.
• Highly efficient pumping of energy in vortex mills destroys agglomerates formed during the storage of cement, grinds coarse fraction (40-80) contained in unmilled cement, mechanically activates the entire mixture, increasing the grade of cement.
• We have obtained excellent results in a vortex mill (up to 1 ton per hour). In addition to simple grinding (reduction of initial particle size), it is also required to add and mix various additives in the grinding process to reduce water consumption, and the vortex mill handle it well.

• In addition to reducing the need for cement with FGC, there is great interest in reducing the price of cement as a binder. Such technologies are known. They consist of replacing the clinker component in cement with other materials that give the same binding effect. It is well known that ultrafine grinding of clinker and silica sand (or cement and silica sand) allows to lower clinker content in grinding by 2-5 times and correspondingly reduce the cost of a new binder while keeping and even increasing its properties as compared with pure cement. The only problem so far has been the lack of equipment for ultrafine grinding of sand due to its extremely high abrasiveness. The use of vortex mills successfully solves this problem.
• In addition to sand in the cement to reduce its costs, you can use fine metallurgical slags (for example, the ones Cherepovets, Lipetsk and Oskolsky metallurgical plants). Using them, as well as coal plant ashes, can reduce the consumption of clinker by 3-10 times. This can be used both for your own production and as a solution for the market.

• Bactericidal cement (bactericidal polymeric additives, developed by Russian Science Center "Applied Chemistry" (RSC)). Applications: sewage, waste storage, fish plants, building slate, etc.
• Expandable cements for fixing pipes in the ground (developed in St. Petersburg).
• Cements and new gypsum grades with reinforcing additives (polymer and basalt fibers).
• Production and introduction of polymer metal corrosion inhibitors into cements (developed by RSC).
• Production of special grades of cement for radiation-resistant concrete (ultraheavy concretes with the addition of finely ground boron carbide).

• The vortex mills can effectively grind various crops: soybeans, grains, corn, etc., without a long drying process.
• It is possible to obtain ready feed concentrates formulas with simultaneous grinding of several components, including inorganic (chalk).
• Processing of waste products of agricultural industries: feathers of birds, horns, bones of animals, with obtaining feed additives.
• Fine grinding of mineral materials for fertilizers.
• Grinding of medical herbs.

The main feature of vortex mills is the possibility of simultaneous drying and grinding, the humidity of raw materials can reach 60%!

• All existing equipment on the market for the production of water-coal fuel (WFO) are devices of "wet" milling and have a number of disadvantages.
• With vortex mills it is possible to obtain coal grinding with a higher degree of dispersibility (less than 5 microns), which allows a better heat transfer and combustion efficiency, as well as enrichment of low-grade coals.

The main disadvantage of all mills on the market which grind material at high speeds is their low durability. Therefore, replacement of expendable (wearable) parts is expensive or requires frequent replacement (every other day). In this case, foreign manufacturers require an additional lifting device for an almost complete disassembly of the machine. In our variant, we offer very simple technical solutions and inexpensive replacement parts: the vortex converter is protected by fused plates and can be replaced in a matter of minutes. The mill armor is also solidly protected and can be easily changed by a single person in just one hour. Foreign complexes of well-known companies cost at least 25 million rubles, and low-quality ones from China - from 10 million rubles. Our system costs 5.8 million rubles, and its maintenance costs are tens of times less.
