A roller mill air floating grinding system is an advanced grinding technology used primarily in industries like cement, mining, and chemicals for fine and ultra-fine powder processing. This system combines mechanical grinding with pneumatic air classification to achieve high efficiency and precise particle size control.
Key Components & Working Principle:
1. Grinding Rollers & Table:
– Material is fed onto a rotating grinding table.
– Hydraulically loaded rollers apply pressure to crush the material into fine particles.
2. Air Floating System (Air Sweeping & Classification):
– A high-velocity air stream lifts the ground particles upward into a classifier.
– The airflow ensures that only properly sized particles are carried over, while coarse particles fall back for regrinding.
3. Dynamic Classifier:
– Adjustable rotor speed controls the fineness of the product (e.g., 10–100 microns).
– Oversized particles are rejected and returned for further grinding.
4. Cyclone Separator & Bag Filter:
– Separates fine powder from the air stream.
– Collected product is discharged, while clean air is recirculated or vented.
Advantages:
✔ Energy Efficiency: Airflow reduces mechanical resistance, lowering power consumption compared to traditional ball mills.
✔ Precise Particle Size Control: Adjustable classifier ensures uniform fineness.
✔ Low Wear & Maintenance: Reduced metal-to-metal contact due to the air cushion effect.
✔ High Capacity: Suitable for large-scale industrial production.
Applications:
– Cement (raw meal, slag, clinker)
– Minerals (limestone, gypsum, talc)
– Coal pulverization (for power plants)
– Chemical powders (calcium carbonate, fly ash)
Challenges:
– Requires stable airflow and pressure control.
– Initial investment cost is higher than conventional mills.
