  • Publication number: 20230191418
    Abstract: The invention relates to a replaceable key grinding pan segment for a grinding track of a grinding pan of a roller mill, the grinding track having an annular shape with an outer circumference and an inner circumference around a center point. The length of the inner edge of the key grinding pan segment closer to the center point is greater here than the length of the outer edge further from the center point. The invention also relates to a grinding pan segment system, a roller mill, and a method for replacing grinding pan segments.

  • Publication number: 20160121335
    Abstract: The invention relates to a grinding roller having an inclined, fixed inner roller axle (3), a roller jacket (6) being provided on a roller base body (7). The rotatable roller base body (7) is mounted relatively to the fixed inner roller axle (3) by means of an arranged fixed bearing (11) and a floating bearing (12) which is spaced apart therefrom. The floating bearing (12) is provided in the region of the end face of the roller axle (3) and for supporting the roller base body (7) having the roller jacket (6) so as to allow their rotation, and the fixed bearing (11) is arranged on the roller axle (3) in an outwardly offset manner in the direction of the swing lever (14).

  • Patent number: 9162256
    Abstract: In order to improve the grinding and classification process, the subsequent dust separation, and to optimize the energy situation of a grinding plant, with the aid of a guiding apparatus and a displacement body, the fine material-fluid low leaving the dynamic classifier part with angular momentum, besides a swirl reduction or swirl elimination, is made uniform in a classifier outlet housing and deflected into a virtually linear flow. The fixed guiding apparatus arranged coaxially with the classifier axis in the classifier outlet housing and the displacement body can be formed as one unit and the guide elements of the guiding apparatus can be arranged on the displacement body and extending into the vicinity of the inner wall of the classifier outlet housing.

  • Patent number: 8925844
    Abstract: The invention relates to a roller mill, in particular a coal mill, with a feed system, having an integrated screw feeder. The screw feeder is arranged virtually horizontally in the region of a grit cone and comprises a screw shaft guided through the roller mill and the longitudinal axis thereof, which screw shaft is arranged on both sides respectively outside of the roller mill and at one end with a drive means and at the other end in a bearing outside of the roller mill. The feed material is fed with the screw conveyer outside of the roller mill and forcibly conveyed therein to a tray side rejection opening above a cone opening of the grit cone and drops together with the coarse grain rejected in the classifier centrally onto the grinding pan. An even distribution of the feed material and improved smooth running of the roller mill and energy saving are achieved and also soiling of the screw shaft is avoided.

  • Publication number: 20140231555
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for grinding mill material and to a roller mill and is suited in particular to a finest grinding of relatively hard and dry materials, for example cement clinker and granulated blast furnace slag and also for relatively large roller mills. In order to avoid mill vibrations due to over-grinding of the mill material and to reduce the specific work requirement as well as increasing the throughput a fine material nozzle is arranged after each grinding roller, from which fine material nozzle an air jet with defined impulse is directed from above onto a fine material concentration zone. The fine material concentration zone is formed directly after the grinding zone of each grinding roller and is virtually free of supplied material to be ground and accumulated on a retention rim region. The fine material blown outwards and upwards is fed to a rising conveying air flow and subsequent classifying process.

  • Publication number: 20130284644
    Abstract: A method for classifying a ground material-fluid mixture and a mill classifier. In order to improve the grinding and classification process, the subsequent dust separation and in particular to optimise the energy situation of a grinding plant, it is provided according to the invention that the fine material-fluid flow leaving the dynamic classifier part with angular momentum, besides a swirl reduction or swirl elimination, with the aid of a guiding apparatus and a displacement body, is made uniform in a classifier outlet housing and deflected into a virtually linear flow. The fixed guiding apparatus arranged coaxially with the classifier axis in the classifier outlet housing and the displacement body can be formed as one unit and the guide elements of the guiding apparatus can be arranged on the displacement body and extending into the vicinity of the inner wall of the classifier outlet housing.

  • Publication number: 20080296422
    Abstract: The invention relates to a roller mill, particularly intended for dressing ores. To reduce the energy demand for comminution and classifying a grinding product, a classifying device is positioned below the grinding area and to it is supplied the comminuted ground material under gravity action, as well as classifying air from an annular chamber in the lower region of the grinding bowl and which has at least one fine material outlet and coarse material outlet.

  • Patent number: 6092748
    Abstract: To reduce the manufacturing costs of air-swept roller mills and comparable mills and for optimizing the grinding and classifying processes via the flow direction of the fluid-grinding material mixture, according to the invention a blade ring is provided, which has pivotable guide blades. The blade ring is constructed as a polygon blade ring in segment form with at least one outer jacket ring or outer ring, which is constructed in segmented, polygonal manner and comprises a plurality of outer polygon segments formed from planar sheet metal blanks. One or more pivotable guide blades can be arranged with an upper, lower or central pivot axis on the polygon segments and can be pivoted and locked with no or few stages.

  • Patent number: 6079646
    Abstract: To reduce the manufacturing costs of air-swept roller mills and comparable mills, according to the invention a segmented polygonal blade ring is provided, which is manufactured from a plurality of polygon segments, which have planar surfaces and are preferably cut to size from metal sheets. To individual polygon segments can in each case be fixed with a predeterminable inclination one or more guide blades. Preferably an outer polygon segment an an inner polygon segment with at least one guide blade form a polygon segment. Polygon segments can be linked to polygon runs and the latter to polygon blade rings with different diameters.

  • Patent number: 5622321
    Abstract: The invention relates to a mill classifier or sifter, particularly a roller mill classifier, which is suitable as a high-performance classifier for a roller pan mill or a roller mill, e.g. for an air-swept mill. In order to achieve in the case of a particularly simple construction a high flexibility and optimization of the classifying processes as a function of the particular needs, there is a combination of a static distributor formed from several adjustable guide blade rings and a ledge rotor as the dynamic classifier. In order to achieve a multiple classifying and in particular a reduction of the coarse material fraction prior to dynamic classifying, in the vicinity of the static distributor is provided a deflecting device in an area of the classifier cover, through which the disadvantageous effects of a 90.degree. deflection are largely avoided.
