Unlike conventional co-grinding, where all cement constituents are ground together, separate grinding allows more precise control over the fineness of each individual constituent, as the materials (or some of them) are ground separately and subsequently blended in the desired proportions. This optimizes the particle size distribution and strength performance of the cement through the mechanical activation of individual materials, particularly Alternative Cementitious Materials (ACMs), such as natural pozzolana.

The ability to optimize the particle size distribution of each cement constituent also contributes to improved rheological properties and enhanced durability of the concrete produced using separately ground cement.

Another key benefit of this method is improved energy efficiency through energy savings. The technology adjusts the required grinding intensity to the properties of each material, avoiding energy waste caused by over-grinding and the lower efficiency of conventional co-grinding.
