Engineered Solutions for Superior Grinding Performance
Who We Are
Innovative Grinding Media for a Sustainable
Smarter Performance. Measurable Impact.
VIRINA Steel is advancing grinding technology with engineered solutions that offer both operational efficiency and environmental responsibility. Our grinding balls are designed to reduce wear, lower energy consumption, and extend equipment life — delivering real-world improvements for cement and mining operations.
Innovative technology.
Proven results.

Sustainability Backed by Data
Supported by Global Investment
The World Bank has allocated $50 million in funding to help cement plants transition to VIRINA grinding balls under a 6-month open payment term — a testament to the proven value and potential of this innovation.
Reducing Carbon Emissions at the Source
Grinding ball production is a major contributor to industrial COâ‚‚ emissions, second only to cement production itself. Traditional grinding media can generate:
-
1.83 tons of COâ‚‚ per ton of steel balls
-
90 tons of COâ‚‚ annually per mill (from wear, energy use, and waste)
VIRINA grinding balls, with their durable composition and low wear rate (just 3 tons annually), produce only 5 tons of COâ‚‚ per year — a reduction of over 85% compared to traditional media.
Extended Equipment Life & Energy Savings
Built to Last. Engineered to Save.
-
Mill liner life extended up to 4x
-
Lower exterior mill temperatures (185°F vs. 196°F)
-
Energy savings of over 400 MBTUs annually
-
Estimated annual savings: $125,000 in energy costs
Deformation in traditional balls leads to inefficient grinding and accelerated wear on mill components. VIRINA’s spherical design minimizes these impacts, helping plants operate more efficiently and sustainably.
