  • Patent number: 5413288
    Abstract: A partition diaphragm which divides a grinding chamber of a ball mill into several chambers is formed into a compound structure comprising a primary screen plate and a secondary screen plate, with the slit clearance of the secondary screen plate being smaller than that of the prior art while avoiding the occurrence of blinding. The secondary screen plate of the partition diaphragm is comprised of a wire sieve provided with fine slits having a trapezoidal shape in section. The wire seive is loosely disposed between adjacent members so as to be freely movable to a certain extent. Since there is no sticking of material by movement of the wire sieve in spite of the slit clearance in the wire sieve, fine particles in the partition diaphragm can move smoothly and the two grinding chambers are well-balanced, resulting in an improved grinding efficiency.

  • Patent number: 5292077
    Abstract: Flow rate of material passing through a partition diaphragm of a ball mill is regulated. One end of a disc controller is mounted on an outer shell of the ball mill, and a control disc is mounted on the other end through a diaphragm chamber formed inside the partition diaphragm. The disc controller performs an opening and closing operation of a discharge opening by moving to and from a center core A disk adjust bar 41, a universal joint 45 and a disc holder bar 50 are connected in such a manner as to be separately bendable with respect to each other. The opening and closing operation performed by the control disc is not affected by deformation of the outer shell of the ball mill or any positional change during operation.

  • Patent number: 5114085
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a hammer for use in a hammer mill and particularly provides an improved hammer of separate type in which a hammer head is detachably coupled with a hammer body. A material of the highest level in abrasion resistance such as high chromium cast iron is employed to form the hammer head. In spite of brittleness of the material, there is no such problem as breakdown due to impulse forces applied and transferred immediately because there is no looseness at all in the engagement of the coupled hammer body and hammer head. Energy applied is sufficiently utilized thereby improving energy efficiency.
