TUBE MLLS
IMPORTANT DATA TO DESIGN A TUBE MILL
Process: Product:
Dry / wet grinding max. temperature [C]:
Open / closed circuit Grain size [80% < x m]:
Grinding media (Al2O3, St, Cylpebs,..) Blaine valuet [cm/g]
AUTOGENE (AG) MILLS
Wet or dry grinding
Pre-grindign (coarse grinding)
Grinding media = feed material
Feed size up to approx. 400 mm
High throughputs
Sensible to feed composition
PERIPHERAL PERIPHERAL
DISCHARGE CENTRE
OVERFLOW AT THE END DISCHARGE
Wet grinding Mostly drying grinding
Pre-grinding up to 200 t/h Pre-grinding and high capacity
For coarse product with Top size in For special applications
open circuit With end discharge finer product
Regular grain distribution With central discharge coarser product
Regular grain distribution
BALL MILLS
Ceramic industry
Dry or wet grinding
Overflow or discharge diaphragm
Classification of grinding media by conical mill shell
Very efficient, large comminution step possible
Only available in small up to medium sizes

FLANGE
with bolted mill heads for HLG or HLP
WITH TYRES
for slide shoe bearing
FLANGE WELDED TYRE

+
dismantled mechanical mill
Light (transport) machining required Mill cheaper
Advantages Mill heads can be
produced in GGG
-
Machining High weight to manufacturing
transport possiblities
Disadvantages Mill shells not Transport weights
exchangeable
FLANGE WELDED TYRE
3 - DRIVE
CENTRAL DRIVE
via planetary gear or bevel spur gear
DMGH - DRIVE
compact mill drive for high capacities
GEAR RIM /
CENTRAL DMGH
PINION
Cement industry and Most frequently used. For big cement mills
for smaller mills > 2.200 kW
Application
+
Easy to maintain version for large tube possible
Favourable price for mills Compact construction
Advantages capacities < 90 kW
-
investment cost for Grease disposal Large sealing
large mills diameter (oiltight)
Disadvantages Installation length

4 - INLET
INLET TUBE
mostly for wet mills
INLET CHUTE
with fresh air flap for mill ventilation
INLET SCREW
for problematic feed materials
TUBE CHUTE SCREW
Wet grinding Dry grinding Dry grinding for heavy
