  • Patent number: 12011723
    Abstract: The invention relates to a lever system for force transmission for a grinding roller. A more cost-efficient, simplified lever system is to be created which no longer requires the integration into a mill stand but is more easily accessible for installation and maintenance works. For this purpose, provision is made in particular in that on the central rocking lever of the grinding roller an eccentrically arranged side lever is provided which has a lever arm extending in the opposite direction to the grinding roller and in that the force transmission onto rocking lever and grinding roller takes place via a lever arm of the side lever and a piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder.

  • Patent number: 11318477
    Abstract: A magnetic separator for the dry separation of material particles having different magnetic susceptibilities includes a rotatable cylinder that has a stationary magnetic device arranged therein, and extending essentially across its length. A sorting chamber is furthermore provided for which extends along at least a portion of the outer surface of the cylinder in the circumferential direction of the cylinder and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cylinder. The magnetic separator includes means for the dispersed output of material particles into the sorting chamber, as well as means for generating a stream of conveying air in the sorting chamber. A motor for rotating the cylinder around its longitudinal axis is included, wherein, during operation, the outer surface of the cylinder is moved by the rotation of the cylinder in a direction essentially perpendicular to the direction of the stream of conveying air.

  • Patent number: 11090656
    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.

  • Patent number: 10926270
    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.

  • Patent number: 10703675
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for processing steel slag to produce a hydraulic mineral binder with a high hardening potential and to recover iron. There is provision for this purpose to provide a feed product comprising steel slag with MnO. This feed product is further processed as a melt by introducing reducing agents into the melt. A lime saturation factor of between 90 and 110 is hereby to be achieved in the mineral melt portion. Subsequently the melt is cooled in a defined manner and elemental iron is mechanically separated from the solidified melt. The solidified melt is then supplied for use as hydraulic mineral binder.

    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.

  • Patent number: 9643191
    Abstract: A vertical mill for grinding material to be ground and a method for this are claimed, wherein the vertical mill has a grinding table and one or more grinding rollers. A ring duct with blade ring for a transport gas flow ascending around the grinding table is provided. An annular gap distance is present between a downwardly projecting oversize material cone and the upper region of the grinding rollers, through which annular gap distance a proportion of fine particles is also fed back in a recirculating manner to the grinding table. In order to overcome this disadvantage, a barrier gas flow flowing from inside to outwards is provided in the region of the gap distance, whereby the recirculation of grinding particles of a certain size can be prevented.

  • Patent number: 9212404
    Abstract: The invention relates to a preparation method for stainless steel slags and modified steelworks slags for recovery of metal. In order to create a dry preparation method which guarantees a low wear and energy efficient comminution and de-agglomeration of stainless steel slags and modified steelworks slags as well as a selective separation of a metal fraction and a silicate fraction and which can be variable in relation to the different slag compositions and different requirements upon the quality of the metal fraction and the at least one silicate fraction, a roller mill is used at least for the comminution. The slags are supplied with a feed grain size of up to approximately 150 mm. The use of an air swept roller mill is advantageous, in which the comminution and de-agglomeration, if necessary drying, and at the same time a separation into an extensively mineral-free metal fraction and a virtually metal-free silicate fraction are brought together.
