Abstract: The invention relates to a milling bowl, in particular for vertical mills, and to the production of such a milling bowl. Milling bowls of this type have hitherto typically been produced from a cast material as a single piece. Due to the increasing size of said milling bowls, said milling bowls can generally only be transported to the destinations by means of special transport. Therefore, the invention creates a milling bowl consisting of assemblies, wherein a double-walled center part formed from two housing shells is provided between a head flange and a base flange. Said center part forms a cavity, which is filled with a curable casting compound such that a rotationally rigid milling bowl is present after the casting compound has been cured.

Abstract: The invention relates to a multi-cyclone and to a method for operating such a multi-cyclone for separating fine material and very fine material. In this context, a multi-cyclone according to the invention has multiple individual cyclones which are of essentially identical construction and which are housed in a housing that has an upper and a lower chamber. Via a supply into the lower chamber it is possible to introduce in a targeted manner cyclone regulating air which can be used to set the quantity, the fineness and/or the purity of the material separated by means of the multi-cyclone.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for preparing and activating a raw material, wherein the raw material is comminuted by means of grinding rollers in a mill-classifier combination, and wherein the mill-classifier combination is set and operated to produce a ground product with a fineness of between D50=3 ?m and D50=12 ?m. Here, a part of the grinding product is comminuted by means of the mill-classifier combination to a diameter of <5 ?m. Subsequently the ground product is subjected to a further classification in an ultrafine grain classifier unit which has a separation threshold in order to separate ultrafine grain with a fineness of <D50=6 ?m. The invention further relates to an installation configuration for carrying out the method according to the invention.

It is provided according to the invention that for high-calorific operation air is fed via the first nozzle, O2-depleted gas via the second nozzle and the high-calorific combustion gas via the third nozzle into the combustion chamber, where they are combusted. Furthermore the invention relates to a multi-gas burner for operation with a low-calorific and a high-calorific combustion gas.

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.

Abstract: A roller mill, particularly an air swept roller mill of the LOESCHE type. The roller mill is preferably provided for the comminution of cement clinker or granulated blast furnace slag and comprises on a grinding track of a rotating grinding pan stationary, rotating grinding rollers and between the grinding rollers stationary, rotatable preparation rollers which compress and remove air from the grinding bed. In order to increase the efficiency of the grinding process and at the same time to reduce the energy requirement the position of the preparation rollers is changed in such a way that the grinding material fed spirally to the grinding rollers is completely rolled over and compressed by the previously arranged preparation rollers. The preparation rollers are, seen in a top view of the grinding pan, positioned radially in the direction of the grinding pan center and roll with their running surfaces on a smaller running ring than the associated grinding rollers.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for grinding hot, wet raw material. The invention is particularly suitable for the cement industry and the grinding and simultaneous drying of cement clinker, slag and aggregates. In order to achieve a throughput increase and energy saving, as well as an improvement in the product quality, particularly with mixed cements, there is a simultaneous grinding and drying through a controlled supply of a cooling gas in the upper mill part with a relatively high hot gas inlet temperature in the lower mill part. The cooling gas supplies ensures a predetermined gas-product temperature downstream of the classifier and replaces or significantly reduces the disadvantageous cooling water injection.

Abstract: In order to minimize the loss of production of a crushing plant, particularly a cement crushing plant and optimize on the gear side the availability of the roller mill, according to the invention a replacement gear is provided alongside the operating mill gear.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for comminuting particulate material by interparticle comminution in a bed of particles are disclosed. The apparatus includes a vertical roller mill with a horizontal grinding table rotating about a vertical mill axis. At least one grinding roller presses resiliently against a bed of particulate material on the grinding track and applies a compressive force. The geometry of the mill is such that the roller engages the bed of particulate material with a substantially pure rolling action. This minimizes shear forces applied to the particle bed and minimizes the reduction of fines.

The invention also relates to a method for grinding materials with magnetizable, particularly iron-containing constituents, e.g. slag, in an air-swept roller mill where, for avoiding concentrations of magnetizable particles, particularly iron particles, on the grinding pan, said particles are electromagnetically separated and removed from the roller mill.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for comminuting particulate material by inter-particle comminution in a bed of particles are disclosed. The apparatus includes a vertical roller mill with a horizontal grinding table rotating about a verticle mill axis. At least one grinding roller presses resiliently against a bed of particulate material on the grinding track and applies a compressive force. The geometry of the mill is such that the roller engages the bed of particulate material with a substantially pure rolling action. This minimises shear forces applied to the particle bed and minimises the reduction of fines.
