Abstract:
A method of forming a wearable surface of a body sized and configured to comminute material includes positioning at least one first insert in a first portion of a first metal structure at a first depth, positioning at least one second insert in a second portion of the first metal structure at a second depth and positioning at least one third insert in a third portion of the first metal structure at a third depth. At least one of these depths is different than the other depths. A second metal structure may be positioned adjacent to the first metal structure and at least one explosive material may be detonated to attach the inserts to the first metal structure. Material may then be removed to shape and form a wearable surface of a crushing body, which may be, for example, a crushing member or a segment of a crushing member.
Abstract:
A roller mill for grinding particulate material such as cement raw materials, cement clinker and the like includes a grinding table and a set of rollers rotatable about a vertical shaft. The set of rollers include a number of rollers rotating about separate roller shafts, which are connected to the vertical shaft. A nozzle ring for directing gases into the roller mill is also included. The nozzle ring encloses the grinding table. Means for regulating the gas flow through the nozzle ring is also provided. At least some of the regulation means are arranged to rotate together with the rollers. Preferably, the position of at least some of the regulation means for regulating gas flow through the nozzle ring relative to the rollers may remain the same so that the gases introduced into the mill via the nozzle ring may exhibit the same flow pattern in relation to the rollers.
Abstract:
A high capacity shaft kiln, which includes a plurality of vertical kiln shafts, a common heating unit and a cooling unit attached to the common heating unit. Each of the plurality of vertical kiln shafts are sized and configured to receive a source of material, which descends from an upper end thereof to a lower end thereof, and wherein each of the plurality of vertical kiln shafts has an inlet, which is sized and configured to receive a fuel source from a distribution device. The common heating unit is sized and configured to receive the source of material from the lower end of each of the plurality of vertical kiln shafts.
Abstract:
A feedwell assembly for a thickener/clarifier includes a feedwell body, at least one infeed conduit connected at a downstream end to the body, and at least one spin or rotation inducement element disposed as part of the infeed conduit for imparting rotation or spin to a slurry stream fed to the feedwell body via the infeed conduit. The spin or rotation inducement element may be a fixed and rigid structural member such as a vane or baffle, or include actively operated elements. Multiple such spin or rotation inducement elements may be provided in various locations in or adjacent the infeed conduit.
Abstract:
A gyratory crusher, which includes a bowl, a head assembly and a cylindrical eccentric assembly. The bowl is shaped as a cone and has a wider opening approaching a top portion of the crusher, and an inner shell, which is backed by a concrete outer shell. The head assembly is shaped as a cone, and is centrally located within the bowl. The head assembly also includes a central mainshaft which is located on an inclined axis within the bowl. The cylindrical eccentric assembly includes an eccentric central volume in which the main shaft is held so that, as the eccentric assembly rotates, the mainshaft gyrates, with the eccentric assembly rotating about a center hole within a central hub of the crusher. A method of making or retrofitting a crushing device such as, for example, a cone crusher or other gyratory crusher, is also provided.
Abstract:
A roller mill for grinding particulate material such as cement raw materials, cement clinker and similar materials includes a mill housing, a substantially horizontal and stationary grinding table, and a number of rollers each rotating about a roller shaft which is connected to a rotatable vertical shaft centrally positioned relative to the stationary grinding table. The rollers are configured for interactive operation with the grinding table. The grinding table is stationary. The roller mill also includes at least one first device utilized for introducing gases into the mill housing and at least one second device for continuously diverting ground material suspended in gases out of the mill housing. As a consequence hereof, the process for the roller mill with a stationary grinding table will be continuous and the diameter of the grinding table will not be subject to limitations.
Abstract:
A conveyor, in particular tubular conveyor, includes a conveyor belt (1) guided over head drums (2, 3) so as to form a forward traveling and returning stretch (4, 6). The conveyor belt is guided in such a way that the forward traveling and returning stretches intersect each other as seen in the horizontal projection, i.e., as seen in the direction of the drum axes, and the conveyor belt (1) travels over both head drums (2, 3) from the top toward the bottom.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for the reduction of mercury emissions from an industrial plant utilizing a cement or minerals kiln that has a high level of mercury. The invention allows for the repeated treatment of a gas stream to reduce the level of mercury and other pollutants through reduction steps, allowing targeted treatment of specific compounds. The invention utilizes multiple sorbent injections for the step-wise reduction in pollutants. Utilizing the multiple stages of reaction, very high levels of mercury emissions may be controlled to greater reduction percentages than existing methods.
Abstract:
A roller mill for grinding particulate material, such as cement raw materials, cement clinker and similar materials has a rotatable grinding table with a substantially vertical centerline and a number of rollers being configured for interactive operation with the grinding table and turning about separate roller shafts which are fixed to a rotatable center shaft with a substantially vertical centerline. The center shaft and the grinding table are fixed one to the rotor and the other to the stator of the same motor, which may have the capability of rotating both the grinding table and the center shaft.
Abstract:
A roller press (1) is described for grinding particulate material such as cement raw materials, cement clinker and similar materials, the roller press having two oppositely rotating rollers (2, 3) with one roller being movably supported relative to the other roller and with the rollers (2, 3) forming between them a roller gap (4). A co-rotating annular disc is attached to one of the rollers (2), which subject to actuation by a number of springs (7), is movable in the direction of the roller axis and which, in the area around the roller gap (4,) extends over the end surface (3a) of the other roller. The annular disc is divided into a number of ring sectors (5) over its circumference, each individually biased by springs towards the end surface (3a) of the other roller (3). Hence, it is possible to maintain the grinding bed thickness at the ends of the rollers, thereby attaining a uniform pressure distribution across the rollers, as well as uniform grinding efficiency and uniform wear on the rollers.
