    Vertical roller mills can be used for grinding of raw materials, clinker, and slag. They have a high drying capacity and can handle feed materials with over 20% moisture. The mill uses hydraulics to control grinding force, with rollers raised for starting. Material is ground between rollers and table, with hot gas from the mill drying and transporting the material. Important parameters monitored during operation include throughput, pressure, vibration, power draw, and temperatures.

    VERTICAL ROLLER MILLS


    Vertical Roller mills
    (Vertical spindle mills)
    • Range of Application
    • Principles of Operation
    • Mechanical Design
    • Process Design
    • Mill Operation
    • Process Control
    Range of applications
    • Widely used for coal grinding
    • Wide range of potential feeds -clinker, slag
    • Can handle larger feed than ball mill
    • Excellent drying capability - 20% +
    • High wear rates if quartz content high
    • Efficient grinding compared to ball mill
    • Mill more sensitive to changes than ball mill

    * Above 10% moisture needs auxiliary heat source


    Principles of operation
    • Combined drying and grinding unit.
    • Feed via side (or top) chute to centre of
    “table”
    • Material passes under “rollers”
    – grinding pressure, roller weight + hydraulic
    • Wet material meets rising hot gas stream
    • Recirculation of coarse material
    – internal, via separator, external option
    • Fines leave mill with gas flow
    GAS + PRODUCT

    Operation - Hydraulics
    • Hydraulics
    – Grinding force is adjusted using set point
    on the hydraulics system.
    – Loesche Mill - rollers raised for mill start.
    – Polysius - start with rollers on material bed

    Design Aspects - Mill Internals
    • Dam ring
    – A circumferential ring fixed to the mill table,
    assists in controlling material retention, ie bed
    depth. May be adjusted as table liners wear
    • Table liners
    – Wear protection for the table casting.
    • Roller liners
    – Wear protection for the rollers
    Internals Design
    Pfeiffer Loesche

    Polysius Raymond

    Babcock FLS - Atox


    Design aspects - Process
    • Gas flow and temperature (inlet and outlet)
    – to meet drying requirements
    – to provide gas velocity for material transport
    – determines “port ring area” and can affect mill
    body diameter
    • Power requirements for milling
    – to achieve capacity required
    – determines motor size and mill table diameter.

    – Mill main drive 8
    – Separator 0.5
    – Mill Fan 10 (2 fan system)
    Mill with Recirculation
    Operation -Material Bed
    • Material bed formation
    – Mill operates with a stable material bed under
    the rollers. Typically 50 mm.
    – An unstable or thin bed causes vibration, mill
    stops, mechanical wear/damage.
    – A thicker bed can reduce vibration, but draws
    more power.
    – With dry materials bed stabilised using water
    – Oversize material can cause vibration
    – Excess fine material in the bed can cause
    vibration
    Mill Sealing
    • Air sealing
    – mill seal
    – mill feed Chute seal
    – seals roller to casing
    – Target <15% inleak at mill
