Grinding Table
Transmits the entire force and mill power
Depends on
Rollers
Large, tapering rotating
cylinders
Large linking elements
required between hydraulic
cylinder and roller arm
Hydraulics critical
Grinding Concept
Vertical roller mill
Grinding force = Roller weight + (pressure) Force

Continuous control of the air
flow measurement (annubar vs
exhaust fan efficiency)
Water injection
peripheral: clogging
on-line detection.
Water injection on
