Fives is widely recognized in the Cement & Minerals markets for its pioneering grinding systems. We have developed proprietary grindability models and lab tests, and have a large database to support our expertise in measuring the scope of new projects. From project definition to plant commissioning, we deliver tailor-made solutions to meet our clients' evolving needs. Fives' FCB B-mill goes beyond the traditional ball mill, which is used for grinding raw materials, cement, solid fuels and minerals. The FCB B-mill can grind products at high fineness and can adapt to very abrasive and moist products. Pioneering shoe bearing and trunnion technology Fives’ innovative FCB B-mill solution is compatible with a wide range of mills with trunnion or shoe bearings. When used with shoe bearings, the mill is supported by tires that are integrated into the mill shell, which slides on the bearings. Our solution offers effective load distribution thanks to its two shoe bearings at each end of the mill, mounted on Teflon stainless steel swivels for sliding tire oscillation. The lubrication system is adapted to each operating phase, including start-up, barring maintenance and cooling periods. Longitudinal stress is controlled by a separate hydrodynamic axial thrust with safety interlocking. Fives’ design offers easy inspection and access, helping to reduce maintenance costs and downtime. Customized solutions with FCB B-mill's advanced ball mill drive system Fives brings its high-level expertise to deliver grinding solutions that ensure optimal plant performance, reliability and availability.
