Grinding is the operation to reduce the geometrical dimensions of the particles by destroying their physical integrity, as a result of mechanical action on the material. Grinding operation efficiency consist in the conversion with minimum power consumption and maximum productivity gave one solid material in a powdery or granular product size and shape required. In this paper we determined that using a sieve with greater opening can reduce the energy consumption by 32%.
