Abstract: A milling station and a method for grinding milling material using at least one coarse grinding circuit and at least one fine grinding circuit. The coarse grinding circuit includes a classifier and a material bed roller mill. The fine grinding circuit includes a tube mill with at least two grinding chambers, a central outlet, and a divider. In some instances, at least some of the milling material from the coarse grinding circuit is subdivided in the divider and delivered to the at least two grinding chambers of the fine grinding circuit while some of the milling material is jointly discharged from the at least two grinding chambers through the central outlet.

Abstract: Apparatus for separating particulate material into relatively fine and relatively coarse particles wherein such particulate material and a gas stream are introduced independently of one another to a separating zone through which the gas stream flows at such volume and velocity as to entrain fine particles and convey them from the separating zone to grinding or other facilities and wherein the fineness of entrained particles may be adjusted by diverting a selected portion of the gas stream from the separating zone to a bypass passageway followed by recombining the diverted portion of such gas stream with the gas containing the entrained particles.

Abstract: The invention relates to a milling station and a method for grinding milling material by means of at least one coarse grinding circuit (1) and at least one fine grinding circuit (2). The coarse grinding circuit is provided with a classifier (10) and a material bed roller mill (11). The precrushed material of the material bed roller mill is fed to the classifier whose coarse material is redirected to the material bed roller mill and whose fine material is delivered to the fine grinding circuit. The fine grinding circuit encompasses a tube mill (20) with at least two grinding chambers (20a, 20b), a central outlet (20c), and a divider (21). At least some of the milling material of the coarse grinding circuit is subdivided in the divider and is delivered to the two grinding chambers while the milling material is jointly discharged from the two grinding chambers via the central outlet.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for the comminution of brittle material for grinding, particularly send-like material such as metallurgical sand in the roller gap of a material bed roller mill. In order to create an optimum capacity for drawing in the material for grinding in the roller gap, the material for grinding at the inlet to the roller gap is set to a (mixed) moisture content of approximately 0.3 to 3.0%, preferably approximately 0.5 to 2.0%.
