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.

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 agent 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 elementary iron is mechanically separated from the solidified melt. The solidified melt is then supplied for use as hydraulic mineral binder. Furthermore the invention relates to a hydraulic mineral binder.

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.

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: The invention relates to a method for comminution of mill feed, in particular for the cement industry, wherein the grinding material is subjected in a mill, in particular an air swept roller mill, to a grinding-drying with supply of a hot gas, is classified and fed as a dust-gas mixture to a filter for dust separation. In order to improve the energy balance and to save heat energy which is generated using a hot gas generator it is provided that fresh gas or fresh air, which is admixed for removal of the moisture of the grinding material in a predefinable portion to the recirculated hot gas or process gas, is preheated before admixing. The preheating of the fresh gas takes place in a heat exchanger through transfer of the heat energy of the process gas to be removed which is then discharged at a lower temperature to the environment.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a plant for producing asphalt mixture and is directed in particular to the recycling of recovered asphalt. In order to achieve recycling of up to 100% recovered asphalt and to produce an asphalt mixture with the required quality, it is provided according to the invention that at least the drying and heating of the asphalt granulate and/or aggregates are carried out in a low oxygen atmosphere. The low oxygen atmosphere is achieved by supplying low oxygen gases with an oxygen content of maximum 10%, preferably with an oxygen content of maximum 5%. The conveyance of the heated and dried asphalt granulate and/or aggregates, the siloing and mixing with bitumen to form a new, incorporation-ready asphalt mixture also usefully take place in a low oxygen atmosphere.

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.

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.

The self-produced coal dust is thus used for the hot gas generation.

Abstract: In this roller mill (3) with a vertical axis (1), the grinding rollers (5) are mounted via the grinding roller shafts (6) in bearing housings (7) which are equipped with rolling bearings and which are fastened outside the roller mill housing on concrete foundations (9). Between the bearing housings (7) of the grinding roller bearing arrangement and the concrete foundations (9) are situated so-called scissor lift tables (8) which, by means of an integrated hydropneumatic suspension, press the grinding rollers inside the roller mill housing onto the material for grinding situated on the grinding plate (3) and carry out the grinding process. Moreover, the scissor lift tables (8) have the function of stabilizing the grinding rollers (3) against tangential forces and of allowing only a pure vertical movement for the grinding rollers. This means that a tilting of the grinding rollers is effectively prevented by the scissor lift tables.

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.

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.
