The rotor has a plurality of blades that extend outwardly from the rotor. As the rotor rotates within the classifying chamber, the blades separate fine sized particles from oversized particles by passing the finer sized particles through the blades, and contacting and propelling the oversized particles against the classifier housing. The oversize particles fall downward through an outer annular passage defined by a baffle and the mill housing back to the grinding mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2007Date of Patent: February 23, 2010Assignee: ALSTOM Technology LtdInventor: Michael M.

Publication number: 20090090799Abstract: A grinding system includes a mill housing. A milling unit in the housing has a moveable milling member operable to grind coal. A drive system includes a drive shaft and at least one gear in a gear case drivingly connecting the milling member to the drive shaft. An exhauster is operable to draw air into the housing through an inlet and draw a mixture of air and powdered coal out of the housing through an outlet. A pressurization system is operable to maintain the gear case pressure at a higher pressure than an air pressure in the housing. In one method of grinding coal a gear case pressure is maintained at a pressure higher than a pressure at the housing inlet while the milling member grinds coal into a powder and the exhauster draws a mixture of powdered coal and air out of the housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2008Publication date: April 9, 2009Applicant: AMEREN CORPORATIONInventors: Gregory A. Musch, Steve V. Miller

Patent number: 7497394Abstract: In a method for treating waste products and recycling products of solid organic or inorganic materials or composite materials or mixtures thereof, a breaking-up or separation of the components by means of an impulse is effected in the composite material or the mixture by a device which suddenly interrupts the flow of said composite material or mixture. Process air is fed in a counter-rotating, rising flow path into the spiral-like downward transport path generated in a rotor having a vertical axis and a shockwave is generated between the layers of the composite material against a deflector wall of the rotor. In addition, two radially spaced, coaxially arranged wall faces rotate relatively to one another about their axis and the composite materials or mixtures moved by centrifugal forces are moved and broken up between deflector faces projecting radially from the deflector walls.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2003Date of Patent: March 3, 2009Assignee: Result Technology AGInventors: Christoph Muther, Kee Loo Tan

Patent number: 7472853Abstract: Described is a roller mill (1) for grinding particulate material such as cement raw materials, cement clinker and similar materials, said roller mill (1) comprising a housing (3) which surrounds a grinding table (7) which is rotatable about a vertical axis (5), said grinding table being supported via a support (9) by a machine foundation (11), at least one roller (13) rotatable about a substantially stationary axis (12), said roller being configured for interaction with the grinding table (7) and an electric motor (15), which comprises a rotor (16) which is firmly connected to the grinding table (7) and a stator (17). The roller mill is peculiar in that the stator (17) constitutes an integral part of the support (9) for the grinding table (7), so that at least some of the load imposed by the at least one roller (13) on the grinding table (7) is transmitted via the stator (17) to the machine foundation (11).Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2006Date of Patent: January 6, 2009Assignee: FLSMIDTH A/SInventor: Luis Petersen

Patent number: 7441716Abstract: A closed circuit, dry processing system for processing aluminum containing products and producing reusable particles of aluminum, and a process thereof. The aluminum containing products are crushed into chips which are then separated into iron-based and ironless chips. The ironless chips are further crushed into chip fragments which are controllably supplied into a granulation chamber where the chip fragments are granulated into spheroidal particles of aluminum and other particles of organic and carbonic materials. A controlled upward airflow produced in the granulation chamber draws those of the particles exceeding a desired granulation degree out of the granulation chamber. The particles are classified as a function of their sizes and then separated as a function of their weight so that the spheroidal particles of aluminum forming the reusable particles of aluminum and residues formed by the other particles are released separately.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2007Date of Patent: October 28, 2008Inventors: Emile Arseneault, Andre Simard

Patent number: 7384010Abstract: A process for producing an oxygen-free, non-denaturable, cooled and dried crushed product of superior quality by effecting efficient crushing by a simple apparatus in an easy operation while preventing a decrease in qualities such as flavor, taste and masticating feel; an apparatus therefor; and a crushed product obtained thereby are provided. The apparatus for producing crushed product contains a pair of crusher discs arranged so as to define a crushing space in between confronting crushing faces thereof, a driver for rotating one of the pair of crusher discs, a cooling section adjoining the other crusher disc for cooling it, a raw material supply site for supplying one or more raw materials to the crushing space through the cooling section, a crushed product delivery site for bringing the resulting crushed product thereto from the crushing space and an inert gas supply for supplying a cooled inert gas to the crushing space via the raw material supply site.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2005Date of Patent: June 10, 2008Assignee: Tsukuba Food ScienceInventors: Akira Horigane, Masaaki Horiguchi
