CEEC is a global initiative and independent not-for-profit corporation, providing access on the most current technical scientific papers and field studies to the worldwide mining industry. CEEC is led by a board of directors, and enjoys the patronage of industry luminaries from reputable mining associations and global companies like Rio Tinto.
After a long process of analysis and evaluation (more than a year), CEEC approved and published in August 2018 the Official Report of the industrial tests of grinding bodies RELO (Model M1.1) in Europe (Bulgaria - Rudozem) “
Industrial Tests with Innovative Energy Saving Grinding Bodies”, thus confirming the energy-efficient advantage of our innovative product:

A Comparative Study of Energy Efficiency in Tumbling Mills with the Use of Relo Grinding Media
An evaluation of Relo grinding media ("RGM") performance versus standard grinding media (balls) was made through a series of grinding tests, including a slight modification of the standard Bond test procedure. Standard Bond tests showed a reduction in the Bond ball mill work index (wi) of the mineral sample used in this study when using RGM. The modified Bond test procedure is based on using the standard Bond ball work index test but changing the circulating loads (350%, 250%, 150%, 100%). The comparative tests with RGM were carried out at the same number of revolutions as the grinding tests with balls at respective circulating load. The RGM charge yielded a 14% higher net undersize product than balls, which hints at improving energy efficiency and the potential for significant mining industry benefits.
