Definitions

  • This invention relates to plants for crushing and grinding raw material received from a quarry and is concerned more particularly with a novel plant containing a crusher and a tube mill, which is superior in performance to prior similar installations.
  • the new plant is especially useful in the preparation of raw material in the manufacture of cement by the dry process and a form of the plant of the invention for that purpose will be illustrated and described in detail for purposes of explanation.
  • Crushing and grinding plants for preparing raw material in cement manufacture commonly include a preliminary crusher which is normally an impact mill or a hammer mill, and a tube mill receiving the crushed product from the crusher.
  • a preliminary crusher which is normally an impact mill or a hammer mill
  • a tube mill receiving the crushed product from the crusher.
  • the new grinding plant includes a crusher and a tube mill working in series and the crusher is preferably disposed directly above the mill so that the crushed product may be transferred by gravity from the cnlsher to the mill.
  • the crusher and the mill are connected in parallel with respect to the air currents, by which they are swept, in that separate streams of air are supplied to the crusher and mill.
  • the plant includes an air separator, to which the air streams from the crusher and mill are conducted, and the separator separates the material carried into it in suspension into fractions of different particle size.
  • the coarse fraction produced in the separator is then returned to the mill for further grinding and the fine fraction is carried along in suspension to a second separator which may be of the cyclone type and separates the fine material from the air stream.
  • the raw material received from the quarry is usually moist and must be dried as well as ground.
  • hot air is used to sweep the crusher and the mill in the new plant and such hot air may be obtained from a rotary kiln or a furnace. It may be discharged without being recirculated, although some of the air issued from the cyclone separator may be returned to enter the first separator, if desired.
  • the air for sweeping the mill is preferably introduced into the mill through the same inlet as the material from the crusher and, in order to prevent the air from traveling backward into the crusher through the connection between the crusher and the mill, the connection is provided with a valve which may be a loaded flap valve. Coarse material from the crusher accumulates on the valve and forces it to open when the accumulation is of sufficient weight.
  • the plant illustrated in the drawing includes a crusher 1, which is illustrated as an impact mill having rotary impact members 2.
  • the raw material is supplied to the crusher through a pipe 3 and air for sweeping the crusher is suppplied through branches 4 and 5 of a pipe 6.
  • the air for sweeping the crusher is heated air, which may be supplied to the pipe 6 through a pipe 7 from a rotary kiln, through a pipe 8 from a furnace, or from both sources.
  • the proportions are controlled by the valves 7a and 8a in the pipes 7 and 8, respectively.
  • the crusher has a top air outlet, from which a pipe 9 leads upwardly, and a bottom outlet for crushed product, from which a pipe 10 containing a valve a, preferably a loaded flap valve, leads to the inlet 11 of a tube mill 12.
  • the mill is preferably at a lower level than the crusher so that the crushed product may travel from the crusher to the mill by gravity through the pipe 10.
  • a connection 13 from the pipe 6 to the mill inlet supplies air for sweeping the mill.
  • the mill is driven by a motor 14 through a reduction gear 15 and it has an outlet 16, from which a pipe 17 leads to the pipe 9. Fine material carried out of the mill in suspension travels through the pipe 17 while coarse material is discharged from the outlet through a pipe 18 and is conveyed by a screw conveyor 19 and discharged into a pipe 20 leading to an elevator 21.
  • a separator 22 is disposed above the crusher and has a bottom inlet, to which the pipe 9 from the crusher leads.
  • the separator illustrated is of the type having a rotary distributor 23 mounted on the lower end of a shaft 24 and material raised by the elevator 21 is discharged into a screw conveyor 25 and travels by gravity through a pipe 26, which extends into the separator and discharges the material on top of the distributor 23.
  • the distributor produces a coarse fraction which is discharged through a bottom outlet and conducted through a pipe 27 into the connection 10 between the crusher and the mill.
  • the separator has a top outlet 28 for air and the air stream with the fine fraction entrained therein, which issues from the outlet, is conducted through a pipe 29 to a separator 30, which is preferably of the cyclone type.
  • the separator 30 separates the material from the air stream and the material leaves the separator at the bottom through an airlock 31 and a pipe 32.
  • the air outlet at the top of the separator 30 is connected by a pipe 33 to the intake side of a fan 34, from the outlet of which leads a pipe 35 containing a valve 35a and open beyond the valve to the atmosphere.
  • the air traveling through the pipe 35 may be returned to the separator through a pipe '36 containing a valve 36a and connecting the pipe 35 in front of the valve 35a to the pipe 9.
  • the air traveling through the pipe 36 may be conducted through a pipe 37 containing a valve 37a to a rotary kiln for use as secondary air of combustion.
  • the air may be supplied to the crusher through a single pipe instead of through the pipes 4 and 5 and the crusher may be a hammer mill rather than an impact mill.
  • the tube mill may be of the type, in which all the ground material is carried away by air flowing through the mill and, when such a mill is employed, the air separator 22 may advantageously be of the type, in which the material is introduced tangentially and not deposited upon a rotary distributor.
  • a plant for grinding quarried material which com prises a crusher having an inlet, and outlet for crushed material, and an outlet for air, means for supplying material from the quarry to the crusher, a tube mill having LI! inlet and an Outlet, a connection for the passage of material fromthe material outlet of the crusher to the mill inlet, means for supplying separate air streams for .weeping the crusher and the mill and carrying material herefrom in suspension, a separator for separating a :oarse fraction from material entering the separator in :uspension in an air stream, separate means for conductng air streams with material in suspension therein from he air outlet of the crusher and the outlet of the mill vo the separator, and means for returning the coarse frac- ;ion from the separator to the mill inlet for further grind- 2.
  • the plant of claim 1 in which the crusher is disposed above the mill and material travels by gravity hrong-h the connection from the material outlet of the :rusher to the mill inlet.
  • the plant of claim 1 which includes a second separator connected to the first separator to receive an air stream therefrom and separating from the stream material being carried in suspension therein.
  • valve is a loaded flap valve.
  • the separator has a bottom inlet for air, a top inlet for material, and a rotary distributor below the top inlet
  • the mill has an outlet for air with material suspended therein and an outlet for coarse material
  • conveying means convey coarse material from the coarse material outlet of the mill to the top inlet of the separator.
