NJIT licensee invents industrial process for grinding cement and other cementitious materials
Flyanic, along with its development partner, grinding-mill equipment manufacturer RSG Inc. (www.ultrafinegrind.com), recently applied the NJIT technology to the design of a vertical-stirred media mill to perform the pilot scale demonstrations.
Cementitious materials ground to ultra-fine particle sizes have significant benefits in a range of industrial applications, including specialized grouts for oil and gas exploration. Fly ash and slag, finer than 10 microns, are high reactivity super-pozzolans for building products such as high performance structural concrete and pre-cast concrete. A one micron median fly ash product has not been previously available on an affordable industrial scale.
Flyanic is an IgniteIP (www.igniteip.com) portfolio company, formed around patented technology developed at NJIT. Flyanic is located at NJIT's Enterprise Development Center in Newark. RSG, Inc. is a privately held manufacturer of stirred media mills and air classifiers in business for over 20 years. RSG is located in Sylacauga, Alabama. Flyanic and RSG continue to perform ground-breaking research in the development of industrial scale grinding systems for processing ultra-fine cementitious materials.
