  • Publication number: 20140234021
    Abstract: A flange connection on a shaft having at least two diameters of different size, wherein the diameter of the flange connection is smaller than a diameter of the roller bearing seat. Machine parts on the shaft can thereby be rapidly and simply interchanged without the flange having to be removed in the process.

  • Publication number: 20140183291
    Abstract: A grinding roller comprising hard bodies embedded in the surface for fixing a material bed. The hard bodies are received in a sleeve respectively and are embedded in the surface. As a result, the sleeves can be removed more easily from the surface after use and wear of the grinding roller for restoring the surface.

  • Publication number: 20140048634
    Abstract: A method for regulating the roll gap pressure of a roller press and a corresponding roller press. The roll gap pressure is regulated dependent on at least one oscillating movement that is measured on the roller press. This has the advantage that the roller press can always be operated at the maximum roller press efficiency without the roller press reaching the overload range.

  • Publication number: 20130186160
    Abstract: A closing element for a machine frame of a rolling press, that sits on the end of a frame element as a hasp. The closing element includes and element enabling a pendular motion on the frame element. In this way, a floating mounting of the closing element is achieved. This enables a very fast dismounting that facilitates the replacement of the rolls, and leads to an optimum arrangement of the closing elements on corresponding end pieces of the machine frame.

  • Publication number: 20130087054
    Abstract: A roller press for the pressure treatment or compaction of granular material, having at least two rolls formed as freely rotating rolls, in each case rotatably mounted in a machine frame by a shaft, driven in opposite directions and separated from one another by a roll gap. The shafts of the rolls are accommodated in bearing housings movably mounted in the machine frame and in each case two bearing housings arranged on one side of the rolls and belonging to different rolls are connected to each other via at least one pressure cylinder. The connection between the bearing housings in each case has at least one torque balance. In this way, the structure of a roller press having roller centering is simplified and can be produced more cost-effectively.

  • Patent number: 8388772
    Abstract: A method for the production of an annular casing for the press rollers of roller presses for the pressure comminution of particulate material, the outer surface of which casing always has a high degree of hardness and consequently a high wear-resisting capability, but the radially inner region of which casing has a lower degree of hardness to avoid casing ruptures. The annular casing is cast of nodular cast iron with at least the alloying elements Ni and Mo. The cast body is given a bainitic structure with residual austenite by a subsequent heat treatment followed by controlled cooling. The outer surface is constantly re-hardened during use via pressure loading such that martensite is constantly formed in boundary layers of the outer surface.

  • Publication number: 20130025476
    Abstract: A machine frame for a high-pressure roller press for receiving the rollers in the bearings of the press, including at least one first frame element below the rollers and at least one second frame element. At least one connecting element is provided for connecting the at least one first frame element to the at least one second frame element. The at least one connecting element has a U-shaped design forming two limbs. With this design, the frame can be constructed with smaller dimensions than current constructions and in one piece, because no releasable connections are necessary with this configuration of the machine frame. This design saves weight.

  • Publication number: 20120204617
    Abstract: A lateral wall arrangement for laterally bounding the roller gap of a roller press having rollers supported in a machine frame, driven in opposite directions, and forming a roller gap, comprising a lateral wall, an assembly device, and a suspension for the lateral wall, wherein the lateral wall is supported in a spring-loaded manner by the suspension. The suspension is a linkage in the simplest case. It is thus achieved in an advantageous manner that the lateral wall is both easy to dismantle and is able to follow deflection motions of the rollers.

  • Publication number: 20120067989
    Abstract: In order to create a roller press, particularly for comminuting a bed of material, the roller press having two rollers separated from each other by a roller nip and using hydraulic cylinders to press the one roller against the oppositely situated roller over the material situated in the roller nip, the stress on the surface of the rollers to be reduced and their service life to be increased, it is proposed according to the invention that both rollers are designed as loose rollers that are displaceable transversely relative to the roller nip, the bearing housings of the rollers being supported on side parts of the machine frame by hydraulic cylinders that apply the roller compaction pressure.

  • Patent number: 8066211
    Abstract: A closed-circuit grinding plant for grinding coarse material into a fine material, in particular for generating cement raw meal and/or cement from cement clinker, the plant having at least two roller presses disposed about a central riser shaft which pneumatically transports the fine material or pulverizing the coarse material, at least two sifters for separating the fine material generated during the pulverization from still existing coarse material, and at least two fine material settling devices for settling the fine material from the sifting air of the sifters.

  • Publication number: 20110114770
    Abstract: The invention relates to a roller press comprising at least two rotatably mounted, counter-rotating rollers, separated by a roller nip, wherein at least one roller is driven by a gear. According to the invention, a coupling is situated between the gear and the driven roller or rollers. The advantage of the invention is that it provides a connection between the drive and the milling roller which permits simple, rapid disassembly and assembly of the connection between the shaft and the drive.

  • Patent number: 7896272
    Abstract: A tandem roller press has two roll pairs which are arranged next to one another in an axially parallel manner in order to provide a roller press system, in particular for the material bed comminution of granular material, which can considerably exceed previous limits with regard to throughput performance but also with regard to the specific energy requirement. Preferably, common feeding of the granular material and common discharge of the material which has been subjected to the material bed comminution are arranged. A tandem separator device may be arranged below the two roll pairs in order to form two parallel compact milling circuits with a high throughput performance overall.

  • Patent number: 7841273
    Abstract: The aim of the invention is to simplify and to improve mounting of roller bearings in double roller machines, for example, roller presses for interparticle comminution of granular goods. The rollers and the bearing housing thereof are formed by means of slanting rollers and/or thermal roller longitudinal changes. The rollers are guided in a secure manner on the slide guides thereof. The invention is characterized in that the fixed bearing housing and the moveable bearing housing are connected together via a guide rod in each roller.

  • Patent number: 7841552
    Abstract: A two-roll machine has two rolls rotatably mounted in bearing housings, driven in opposite directions and separated from each other by a roll gap. One roll is a loose roll with bearing housings horizontally supported on machine frame side parts by hydraulic cylinders applying a roll pressing force. The other roll is a fixed roll with bearing housings horizontally supported on frame end pieces. The bearing housings are mounted on sliding tracks of two lower-flange and two upper-flange machine brackets. The two-roll machine includes a lower frame adjacent to the fixed roll, the lower frame lengthening the two lower-flange machine brackets. A transverse frame is connected to the two upper-flange machine brackets, the transverse frame having a clear opening width which permits the rolls to be moved through the transverse frame onto the lower frame. The frame end pieces are releasably connected to the lower-flange and upper-flange machine brackets.
