Definitions

  • the invention relates to a grinding rotor for an ore mill having a body configured as a disc. Further, the invention also relates to a method for manufacturing a grinding rotor, to an ore mill comprising at least one grinding rotor as well as to a method of grinding particulate ore mineral material.
  • Grinding rotors for ore mills are used to stir particulate mineral ore material and grinding media within a mill body in order to obtain ground mineral particles.
  • a plurality of grinding rotors are usually arranged on a shaft located within the mill body and rotated about an axis by said shaft. Thereby, the rotation of the grinding rotors induces a circular flow of the particulate mineral ore material and grinding media within the mill body. This leads to attrition between the grinding media and the particulate mineral ore material which brakes up the latter into smaller mineral particles.
  • direct contact of the grinding material on the grinding rotors produces a high wear on the grinding rotors, which may lead to severe damages thereto necessitating a replacement of the grinding rotor.
  • grinding rotors having protective elements have been developed.
  • EP 4 132 713 describes a grinding rotor comprising a planar body having an axis of rotation around which the body is configured to rotate during use as well as a plurality of protective elements provided on the body and extending transversely across the body.
  • the protective elements are spaced apart from each other around the axis of rotation, at least some of the protective elements have a rotationally leading face that is angled relative to an orthogonal line extending orthogonally from the axis of rotation of the body.
  • the protective elements are provided on the body, extend laterally outwardly from either one or both of the surfaces of the body, and extend beyond the outer edge of the body.
  • Said grinding rotor comprises one or more protective elements to deflect particulate material and grinding media from the planar body.
  • the protective elements extend radially from an outer edge of the body as well as from opposed surfaces of the body.
  • grinding rotors with protective elements still suffer some drawbacks, as explained in the following:
  • the grinding media usually in the form of ceramic balls, is filled within the mill body only to a certain height, leaving a free space above the grinding media filled space of the mill body.
  • the particulate mineral ore material usually raises through this free space after having been inserted into the mill body through an inlet opening, which is usually located on the bottom of the mill body.
  • grinding rotors with no protective elements may be used, as no collision with grinding media is to be expected.
  • the height of the grinding media filled space of the mill body usually increases.
  • the grinding rotor for an ore mill comprises a body configured as a disc with two opposed surfaces and a circumference.
  • the body is rotatable about a central axis and comprises a plurality of protective elements evenly spaced apart of each other on at least one of the two surfaces of the body and protruding from the at least one surface.
  • the body as well as the plurality of protective elements are made of a first material or first composition.
  • a first coating completely encases the body and at least completely fills spaces between the protective elements, thereby forming a disc shaped shell on the body, the first coating being made of a second material or second composition which has a lower wear resistance than the first material or the first composition.
  • Provision of the first coating leads to a grinding rotor having a substantially smooth surface which may be used outside of the space filled with grinding material without the risk of damages to a mill housing.
  • the interaction of the grinding material with the grinding rotor will wear off the first coating over time, hence exposing the body with the plurality of protective elements. Therefore, grinding rotors will have an outer shape which adapts over time depending on the exposure of the grinding rotor to the grinding material.
  • the grinding rotor will therefore always exhibit an outer surface that is optimally adapted to the fill level of grinding material within a mill body in which the grinding rotor is used, i.e. with exposed protection elements in a space filled with grinding material and with a smooth outer surface in a space above the grinding material.
  • the grinding rotor according to the present invention allows for an optimal grinding process with a reduced occurrence of damages to an inner wall of the mill body and with a reduced wear of the grinding rotors.
  • the grinding rotor has the shape of a disc with a defined radius and with a defined height in a direction orthogonal to the radius.
  • the radius thereby is larger than the height, preferably at least double the height.
  • the circumference defines a circumferential edge surface of the body.
  • the body comprises a rotation centre which is concurrent with the origin of the disc.
  • the central axis intersects with the rotation centre and is orthogonal to the radius of the disc.
  • the central axis thereby is parallel to the height of the disc.
  • the disc preferably comprises an aperture in the area of the rotation centre through which a shaft of the ore mill may be inserted.
  • the aperture preferably is circular and concentric with the rotation centre of the disc.
  • the aperture may be of any suitable shape, such as rectangular, hexagonal or any other polygonal shape.
  • the body preferably comprises connection means, preferably located next to or close by the aperture in order to releasably connect the body a the shaft of the mill.
  • the plurality of protective elements preferably are distributed at even angular distances from each other on the at least one of the two opposed surfaces of the body.
  • the plurality of protective elements are spaced from each other at an angular distance of 360°/n, where n is the number of protective elements on the at least one surface.
  • the protective elements protrude from the at least one surface and away thereof in a direction substantially parallel to the central axis.
  • the protective elements preferably extend from the rotation centre of the body or from an edge of an aperture located in the area of the rotation centre at least to the circumference of the body. Thereby, the protective elements may follow a straight line from the rotation centre at least to the circumference or they may follow a curved or meandering line. If the protective elements are following a meandering line, the meandering line preferably is in the shape of a sinusoid. In order to avoid any unbalance of the body when the body is rotated about the central axis, the plurality of protective elements are shaped and distributed about the at least one surface such that the centre of mass of the grinding rotor is located on the central axis.
  • each of the protective elements may be configured as a single block of any suitable shape extending from the rotation centre at least to the circumference of the body and following an imaginary line on said body.
  • each protective element may be configured as a series of protrusions following a straight, curved or meandering imaginary line from the rotation centre at least to the circumference of the body.
  • the imaginary line is in the shape of a meandering line
  • the meandering line preferably has a sinusoid shape.
  • the protrusions may be of any suitable shape, e.g. cubes, hemispheres, pyramids, rods or the like.
  • the protective elements are preferably arranged on a radius of the body, i.e. the protective elements follow an imaginary line which is congruent with a radius of the body.
  • a middle axis of the cuboid is thereby preferably parallel to a radius in the direction of the central axis.
  • a bisecting axis of the imaginary meandering line preferably is congruent with a radius of the body.
  • the curvature of the imaginary line preferably starts at the rotation centre or an edge of an aperture located in the area of the rotation centre and follows a curvature up to at least the circumference of the body.
  • the imaginary line is arranged at an angle relative to a tangent of the circumference when reaching the circumference.
  • the curved imaginary line preferably has a constant radius, i.e. corresponds to a circular arc.
  • the curved imaginary line may be in the form of a partial ellipse, of a hyperbole or any other suitable curved shape.
  • the protective elements may be inclined at a defined angle relative to a radius of the body. This means that a middle axis of cuboid shaped protective elements intersects a radius of the body at the defined angle.
  • a bisecting axis of the meandering imaginary line intersects a radius of the body at the defined angle. The middle axis or bisecting axis may thereby intersect the radius at any location along the radius.
  • the protective elements are configured as discs protruding from the at least one surface in a direction parallel to the central axis, each of said discs preferably having a diameter which spans at least from the circumference to an aperture located in the area of the rotation centre, i.e. the diameter of each disc corresponds to the distance along a radius of the body from the circumference of the body to an edge of the aperture, wherein the origin of each disc shaped protective element is arranged on a radius of the body.
  • all protective elements of the grinding rotor have the same shape and same dimensions.
  • the protective elements may be of two or more different shapes and/or dimensions.
  • all protective elements have the same extension in a direction parallel to the central axis, i.e. all protective elements have the same height relative to the at least one surface.
  • the protective elements have a substantially flat top surface which is preferably parallel to the at least one surface of the body. The top surface of the protective elements is the surface which is spaced from the at least one surface of the body.
  • the body and the protective elements are made of the same first material.
  • the body and the protective elements are made as a single piece.
  • such a single piece may be manufactured by die casting, compression moulding, injection moulding, milling or any other suitable fabrication method.
  • the body as well as each of the plurality of protective elements are individual pieces, wherein the protective elements are subsequently fastened to the body, e.g. by welding, gluing or by means of mechanical fasteners, such as screws, bolts, rivets or the like.
  • the first coating encases the body, i.e. the first coating completely envelops the body of the grinding rotor. This means that the first coating is applied on both surfaces of the body as well as around the circumference thereof. Further, the first coating completely fills spaces between the protective elements, i.e. any space between two adjacent protective elements is completely filled with the first coating. The first coating thereby reaches at least to the level of the top surface of the protective elements in the direction of the central axis. In this way, the first coating forms a shell around the body.
  • the shell preferably has substantially smooth surfaces, which are further preferably parallel to the two surfaces and to the circumferential edge surface of the body.
  • the second material or second composition of the first coating has a lower wear resistance than the first material or first composition and will hence wear off more quickly during use of the grinding rotor in an ore mill.
  • the second material or second composition has a wear resistance which is at least 20%, more preferably at least 30%, even more preferably 40% and most preferably at least 50% lower than the wear resistance of the first material or first composition.

  • the first material has a shore A hardness of between 60 to 90.
  • a shore A hardness of between 60 to 90.
  • the use of a first material having a shore A hardness in this range yields the best results, as the first material is able to withstand deformation by impacts with grinding media while still being able to slightly yield upon such impacts, so that the grinding elements are not catapulted with too high energy away of the grinding rotor.
  • the first material has a tensile strength of between 16 MPa to 30 MPa as measured according to the standard ISO 37:2017.
  • the first material has an elongation at break of between 480% to 650% as measured according to the standard ISO 37:2017.

  • the second material has an elongation at break of between 400% and 600% as measured according to the standard ISO 37:2017.
  • the first and the second material is a mixture of natural rubber (NR) and butadiene rubber (BR) most preferably having a volume loss and tensile strength as specified above.

  • Fig. 17 is a perspective view of the grinding rotor 1 of the sixth embodiment with the first coating
  • Fig. 18 is a perspective view of the grinding rotor 1 of the sixth embodiment with a partial cut through the first coating 13.
  • the grinding rotor 1 comprises the same features as the first embodiment as shown in Fig. 1 to 3 .
  • the only difference to the first embodiment is the shape of the protective elements 6.
  • the protective elements 6 have the shape of half cylinder protruding from each surface 3, 4. Further, the protective elements 6 do not protrude from the circumference 5 of the body 2.
  • Fig. 19 is a schematic side view of a body of a further embodiment of a grinding rotor 1 according to the present invention.
  • the body 2 according to this embodiment comprises a core 15 made of a metal or metal alloy which is completely encased by the first material 16. It is to be noted that the protective elements 6 in this embodiment are also made of the first material 16.
  • Fig. 20 is a schematic side view of an embodiment of an ore grinding mill 17 according to the present invention.
  • the ore grinding mill 17 comprises a mill body 18 which is in the form of a vertical cylinder.
  • the ore grinding mill 17 further includes a motor 19 which drives a drive shaft 20 at least partially arranged within the mill body 18.
  • a plurality of grinding rotors 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6 according to any embodiment described herein are arranged on the drive shaft 20 to be driven in rotation by the motor 19.
  • the mill body 18 is at least partially filled with grinding media, such that a spaced filled with grinding media 21 and a space above the grinding media 22 is formed in the mill body 18.
  • the particulate ore material When grinding particulate ore material, the particulate ore material is introduced into the mill body 17 through an inlet 24 located in a bottom area of the mill body 18. The particulate ore material will subsequently raise through the space filled with grinding media 21 into the space above the grinding media 22. By rotating the grinding rotors 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6 a circular flow of the grinding media and particulate ore material is induced within the space filled with grinding media 21. The particulate ore material is thereby reduced in size by attrition with the grinding media, which is typically provided in the form of ceramic balls. Ground ore material is subsequently removed from the mill body 18 through an outlet 23 located in a top area of the mill body 17.
  • the first coating 13 of the grinding rotors 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6 is ablated through collisions with the grinding media as well as the particulate mineral material. Thereby, over time, the outer shape of the grinding rotors 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6 is ablated to an optimal shape for its relative position within the space filled with grinding media 21, whereby the protective elements may be exposed at least partially or entirely. It is to be noted that the grinding rotors 1.1, 1.2 located in the space above the grinding media 22 will not be subjected to ablation of their first coating and will therefore retain a casing with a smooth surface.
