  • 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: 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: 10088155
    Abstract: The invention relates to a central burner for multi-fuel multiple lance burner systems having a central lance with an inner pipe and an outer pipe. The inner pipe and the outer pipe form an annular clearance duct. A plurality of outer lances are arranged around the central lance. A funnel-like mixing device is provided in the extension of the annular clearance duct in the region of the end of the inner pipe. This funnel-like mixing device has openings in its wall for combustion media to flow through. The outer lances each have a nozzle which has openings along the lateral circumferential area, said openings being arranged asymmetrically.

  • Publication number: 20180185851
    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: 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.

  • Publication number: 20150111159
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a multi-gas burner having at least one burner lance with a first, second and third nozzle and having a first, second and a third feed chamber. 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.

  • 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: 20140144353
    Abstract: The invention relates to a solid fired hot gas generator which comprises a plurality of solid burners for extending the regulating range, which form a multiple solid burner with an enlarged regulating range. A solid feed and a combustion air feed are assigned to each solid burner and with the aid of a dosing means a separate, dosed solid feed to each solid burner is guaranteed. The firing power of the multiple solid burner which is in particular a multiple impulse burner extends from the minimum power of one of the solid burners to the maximum power of all solid burners so that a regulation of all necessary load regions of a plant unit to be supplied is covered.
