Description

La présente invention a essentiellement pour objet un procédé de broyage et compactage d'une matière minérale quelconque, telle que par exemple du clinker de ciment.The present invention essentially relates to a process for grinding and compacting any mineral material, such as for example cement clinker.

Elle vise également une installation pour la mise en oeuvre de ce procédé.It also relates to an installation for the implementation of this process.

L'utilisation des presses à rouleaux pour le broyage et le compactage de matières minérales ou organiques diverses est connue depuis longtemps. On sait également que, pour obtenir un fonctionnement régulier des presses à rouleaux, il convient de préconditionner la matière alimentant la presse pour éviter un foisonnement excessif à l'alimentation.The use of roller presses for grinding and compacting various mineral or organic materials has been known for a long time. It is also known that, in order to obtain regular operation of the roller presses, the material feeding the press should be preconditioned to avoid excessive swelling of the feed.

C'est ainsi qu'il est connu d'utiliser par exemple sur les presses de compactage d'engrais une ou plusieurs hélices entraînées en rotation pour réaliser un pré-compactage de la matière à l'alimentation de la presse à rouleaux.It is thus known to use, for example on fertilizer compacting presses, one or more propellers driven in rotation in order to pre-compact the material for feeding the roller press.

On connait également des installations de broyage munies de rouleaux permettant un broyage préalable de la matière à broyer, ce qui permet de réaliser un pré-compactage de la matière avant d'appliquer l'effort final de broyage.Grinding plants are also known which are provided with rollers allowing prior grinding of the material to be ground, which makes it possible to pre-compact the material before applying the final grinding force.

Mais, dans toutes ces installations connues, il a été constaté qu'il n'était pas possible d'obtenir un fonctionnement stable de la presse à rouleaux qui, comme on le sait doit transmettre des énergies très élevées à la matière dans les applications de broyage fin.However, in all these known installations, it has been found that it was not possible to obtain stable operation of the roller press which, as is known, must transmit very high energies to the material in the applications of fine grinding.

Aussi, la présente invention a pour but de remédier notamment à cet inconvénient en proposant un procédé et une installation de broyage qui permettent de préconditionner de manière idéale la matière alimentant la presse, laquelle peut ainsi travailler de façon optimale.Also, the present invention aims to remedy this drawback in particular by proposing a method and a grinding installation which make it possible to ideally precondition the material feeding the press, which can thus work optimally.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un procédé de broyage et compactage d'une matière minérale quelconque, telle que par exemple du clinker de ciment, et du type consistant à préconditionner cette matière avant de la broyer par écrasement dans une presse à rouleaux ou analogues, caractérisé en ce que le préconditionnement de la matière consiste à mélanger diverses formes de la matière alimentant la presse pour réguler sa densité en vrac à une valeur comprise entre environ 0,60 Dp et 0,90 Dp, Dp étant la densité du produit aggloméré ou compacté sortant de la presse, afin d'assurer un fonctionnement stable de cette dernière et donc stabiliser la consommation énergétique instantanée nécessaire au broyage.To this end, the subject of the invention is a process for crushing and compacting any mineral material, such as for example cement clinker, and of the type consisting in preconditioning this material before crushing it in a press. rollers or the like, characterized in that the preconditioning of the material consists in mixing various forms of the material feeding the press in order to regulate its bulk density at a value of between approximately 0.60 D p and 0.90 D p , D p being the density of the agglomerated or compacted product leaving the press, in order to ensure stable operation of the latter and therefore stabilize the instantaneous energy consumption necessary for grinding.

Ce procédé est encore caractérisé en ce que la densité en vrac de la matière alimentant la presse est comprise entre 0,68 Dp et 0,85 Dp.This process is further characterized in that the bulk density of the material feeding the press is between 0.68 D p and 0.85 D p .

Selon encore une autre caractéristique de ce procédé, pour le broyage de ciment, la densité en vrac à l'alimentation de la presse est régulée entre 1,7 et 2,05.According to yet another characteristic of this process, for grinding cement, the bulk density at the press feed is regulated between 1.7 and 2.05.

L'invention vise également une installation de broyage et compactage pour la mise en oeuvre du procédé répondant aux caractéristiques ci-dessus et du type comprenant une presse à rouleaux ou analogues permettant le broyage et l'agglomération partielle d'une matière minérale quelconque, et en aval de cette presse, un moyen de transport associé à un système répartiteur et permettant le recyclage d'une partie de la matière boyée et partiellement agglomérée vers l'alimentation de la presse.The invention also relates to a grinding and compacting installation for implementing the process meeting the above characteristics and of the type comprising a roller press or the like allowing the grinding and partial agglomeration of a material. any mineral, and downstream of this press, a means of transport associated with a distributor system and allowing the recycling of part of the cased and partially agglomerated material towards the press supply.

Cette installation est caractérisée en ce que l'autre partie de la matière sortant du système répartiteur précité alimente un deuxième système répartiteur dont une sortie communique avec le moyen de transport précité pour ainsi réguler la quantité et la densité de la matière broyée et partiellement agglomérée recyclée vers l'alimentation de la presse à rouleaux.This installation is characterized in that the other part of the material leaving the aforementioned distributor system feeds a second distributor system, one outlet of which communicates with the aforementioned means of transport, thereby regulating the quantity and density of the crushed and partially agglomerated material recycled. to the feed to the roller press.

Selon encore une autre caractéristique de l'invention, l'un des deux systèmes répartiteurs précités est un crible, un tamis ou analogue.According to yet another characteristic of the invention, one of the two aforementioned distributing systems is a screen, a sieve or the like.

Cette installation est encore caractérisée en ce que la presse à rouleaux est alimentée par de la matière minérale provenant d'un séparateur pneumatique ou d'un système équivalent raccordé à l'alimentation de ladite presse par au moins une conduite équipée d'un troisième système répartiteur dont la sortie est raccordée d'une part à l'entrée de la presse à rouleaux, et d'autre part à l'autre sortie du deuxième système répartiteur précité.This installation is further characterized in that the roller press is supplied with mineral matter coming from a pneumatic separator or an equivalent system connected to the supply of said press by at least one pipe fitted with a third system. distributor whose outlet is connected on the one hand to the inlet of the roller press, and on the other hand to the other outlet of the aforementioned second distributor system.

Suivant une autre caractéristique de cette installation, un appareil de mesure de densité est avantageusement disposé à l'entrée de la presse.According to another characteristic of this installation, a density measuring device is advantageously arranged at the entrance to the press.

Mais d'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront mieux dans la description détaillée qui suit et se réfère au dessin unique annexé, donné uniquement à titre d'exemple, et illustrant schématiquement une installation de broyage conforme aux principes de cette invention.But other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear better in the detailed description which follows and refers to the single appended drawing, given only by way of example, and illustrating schematically a grinding installation in accordance with the principles of this invention.

Suivant un exemple de réalisation, l'installation visible sur la figure unique est une installation de broyage en circuit fermé comprenant une presse 1 à rouleaux 2 dont l'entrée 3 est munie d'un appareil de mesure de la densité des produits alimentant la presse 1, lequel appareil est repéré schématiquement en 4.According to an exemplary embodiment, the installation visible in the single figure is a grinding installation in a closed circuit comprising a press 1 with rollers 2, the inlet 3 of which is provided with a device for measuring the density of the products feeding the press. 1, which device is schematically identified in 4.

La presse 1 est alimentée en produits bruts comme matérialisé par la ligne 5, en un produit broyé et partiellement aggloméré par la presse et recyclé, comme matérialisé par la ligne 6, et en produits grenus ou pulvérulents, comme matérialisé par la ligne 7, ces derniers produits provenant d'un séparateur pneumatique ou d'un système équivalent 8.The press 1 is supplied with raw products as materialized by line 5, with a ground product and partially agglomerated by the press and recycled, as materialized by line 6, and with grainy or powdery products, as materialized by line 7, these latest products from a pneumatic separator or equivalent system 8.

Le séparateur 8 reçoit un mélange de produits broyés, comme on le décrira en détail plus loin, et cela par la ligne 9, et il sépare ledit mélange en un produit fin et fini qui est évacué en suspension dans les gaz extraits par la conduite 10, et en un produit grenu ou pulvérulent qui sort du séparateur 8 par la conduite 11. On observera ici que le séparateur 8 assure, au niveau des organes de répartition de la matière une fonction de désagglomération.The separator 8 receives a mixture of ground products, as will be described in detail below, and this by line 9, and it separates said mixture into a fine and finished product which is discharged in suspension in the gases extracted via line 10 , and in a grainy or pulverulent product which leaves the separator 8 via the pipe 11. It will be observed here that the separator 8 ensures, at the level of the bodies for distributing the material, a deagglomeration function.

En aval de la presse 1 à rouleaux 2, le produit broyé et aggloméré forme un flux 12 passant dans un premier système répartiteur 13 divisant la matière en deux flux partiels repérés en 14 et 15. Le flux 14 comportant essentiellement des plaquettes compactées est recyclé à l'entrée 3 de la presse 1 par un moyen de transport 16 relié à la ligne 6 précédemment citée. L'autre partie ou flux 15 de la matière sortant du premier système répartiteur 13 alimente un deuxième système répartiteur 17 divisant le flux de produit broyé et partiellement aggloméré d'une part en éléments grossiers sortant par la ligne 18 communiquant avec le moyen de transport 16, et d'autre part en produits fins sortant par la ligne 19.Downstream of the press 1 with rollers 2, the crushed and agglomerated product forms a flow 12 passing through a first distributing system 13 dividing the material into two partial flows marked at 14 and 15. The flow 14 essentially comprising compacted plates is recycled to the input 3 of the press 1 by a means of transport 16 connected to the line 6 previously mentioned. The other part or flow 15 of the material leaving the first system distributor 13 feeds a second distributor system 17 dividing the flow of crushed and partially agglomerated product on the one hand into coarse elements leaving through the line 18 communicating with the means of transport 16, and on the other hand into fine products leaving through the line 19 .

Bien que cela ne soit pas représenté, la ligne 19 pourrait aboutir directement au transporteur 20 recyclant les produits fins vers l'entrée du séparateur pneumatique 8 via la ligne 9 mentionnée précédemment.Although not shown, the line 19 could lead directly to the conveyor 20 recycling the fine products to the inlet of the pneumatic separator 8 via the line 9 mentioned above.

La conduite 11 de sortie du séparateur 8 est équipée d'un troisième système répartiteur 21 dont la sortie est raccordée d'une part à la ligne 7 aboutissant à l'entrée 3 de la presse 1, et d'autre part, bien que cela ne soit pas représenté, à la sortie 19 du deuxième système répartiteur 17, via un conduit ou analogue 22, dans le but de recycler directement le produit grenu à l'alimentation du séparateur 8.The separator 8 outlet pipe 11 is equipped with a third distributor system 21, the outlet of which is connected on the one hand to the line 7 leading to the inlet 3 of the press 1, and on the other hand, although this is not shown, at the outlet 19 of the second distributor system 17, via a conduit or the like 22, for the purpose of directly recycling the grainy product to the feed of the separator 8.

Selon la réalisation représentée, l'installation comporte un équipement complémentaire de broyage montré schématiquement en 23 qui peut être constitué par un broyeur à boulets, à barres, vibrant, à impact ou analogue.According to the embodiment shown, the installation includes additional grinding equipment shown diagrammatically at 23 which can be constituted by a ball, bar, vibrating, impact or similar mill.

En outre, la sortie 19 peut être équipée d'un volet de répartition 24 des produits finis sortant du deuxième système répartiteur 17.In addition, the outlet 19 can be equipped with a distribution flap 24 for the finished products leaving the second distribution system 17.

Le volet de répartition 24 subdivise la matière qui y parvient en deux lignes, à savoir une ligne 25 aboutissant au broyeur 23 et une ligne 26 aboutissant au transporteur 20, lequel reçoit également les produits broyés extraits du broyeur 23 par la ligne 27.The distribution flap 24 subdivides the material which reaches it into two lines, namely a line 25 terminating in the crusher 23 and a line 26 terminating in the conveyor 20, which also receives the ground products extracted from the crusher 23 by the line 27.

En outre, on voit sur la figure que le conduit 22, au lieu d'être directement raccordé à la sortie 19 du deuxième système répartiteur 17, est ici raccordé à l'entrée du broyeur 23, lequel peut comporter une ventilation qui peut être utilisée pour extraire au moins une partie du produit broyé.In addition, it can be seen in the figure that the duct 22, instead of being directly connected to the outlet 19 of the second distributor system 17, is here connected to the inlet of the crusher 23, which may include ventilation which can be used to extract at least part of the ground product.

Le fonctionnement de l'installation se déduit immédiatement de la description qui précède, mais, il convient d'insister ici sur un certain nombre de points.The operation of the installation is immediately deduced from the above description, but it is worth emphasizing here a certain number of points.

La densité en vrac ou du mélange des diverses formes de la matière alimentée à l'entrée 3 de la presse à rouleaux 1 par les lignes 5, 6 et 7 sera modulée de telle façon qu'elle se situe dans un intervalle permettant un fonctionnement stable de la presse, et cela essentiellement en modulant la proportion de plaquettes recyclées dans la ligne 6, par actionnement du premier système répartiteur 13. En outre, comme on le comprend, la densité en vrac précité sera avantageusement modulée aussi en agissant sur le troisième système répartiteur 21 pour moduler la proportion de produits grenus passant dans la ligne 7. Enfin, le deuxième système répartiteur 17 intervient lui aussi pour la régulation de la densité en vrac des produits alimentant la presse 1 puisque, comme on le comprend, il joue un rôle pour ce qui est de la quantité de plaquettes sortant du premier système répartiteur 13 et recyclée à l'entrée 3 de la presse 1 via le moyen de transport 16.The density in bulk or of the mixture of the various forms of the material fed to the inlet 3 of the roller press 1 by the lines 5, 6 and 7 will be modulated in such a way that it lies within a range allowing stable operation. of the press, and this essentially by modulating the proportion of recycled platelets in line 6, by actuation of the first distributor system 13. In addition, as can be understood, the aforementioned bulk density will also be advantageously modulated by acting on the third system distributor 21 to modulate the proportion of granular products passing through line 7. Finally, the second distributor system 17 also intervenes for the regulation of the bulk density of the products feeding press 1 since, as we understand, it plays a role as regards the quantity of plates leaving the first distributor system 13 and recycled at the inlet 3 of the press 1 via the transport means 16.

On observera ici que le deuxième système répartiteur 17 ou le premier système répartiteur 13 peut être constitué par un crible, un tamis ou analogue.It will be observed here that the second distributor system 17 or the first distributor system 13 can be constituted by a screen, a sieve or the like.

Pour assurer un fonctionnement stable de l'installation et pour stabiliser ainsi la consommation énergétique instantanée nécessaire au broyage-compactage, la densité en vrac de la matière alimentant la presse à rouleaux devra avoir, suivant une caractéristique essentielle de cette invention, une valeur comprise entre 0,60 Dp et 0,90 Dp, Dp étant la densité du produit aggloméré ou compacté sortant de la presse.To ensure stable operation of the installation and to thus stabilize the instantaneous energy consumption necessary for grinding-compaction, the bulk density of the material feeding the roller press should have, according to an essential characteristic of this invention, a value between 0.60 D p and 0.90 D p , D p being the density of the agglomerated or compacted product leaving the press.

La densité de la matière alimentant la presse sera de préférence comprise entre 0,68 et 0,85 Dp étant entendu que la régulation de la densité conférant à la presse une excellente stabilité de fonctionnement pourra être réalisée de toute manière appropriée.The density of the material feeding the press will preferably be between 0.68 and 0.85 D p, it being understood that the density regulation giving the press excellent operating stability can be achieved in any suitable manner.

A cet égard, l'appareil de mesure de la densité 4 situé à l'entrée 3 de la presse 1 permettra avantageusement et à chaque instant le contrôle de la densité des produits alimentant ladite presse, cet appareil pouvant éventuellement agir automatiquement sur les systèmes répartiteurs 13 et 21.In this regard, the density measuring device 4 located at the inlet 3 of the press 1 will advantageously and at all times allow the density of the products feeding said press to be controlled, this device possibly being able to act automatically on the distributing systems. 13 and 21.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est nullement limitée au mode de réalisation décrit et illustré qui n'a été donné qu'à titre d'exemple.Of course, the invention is in no way limited to the embodiment described and illustrated, which has been given only by way of example.

C'est ainsi qu'à l'entrée 3 de la presse à rouleaux, on peut avantageusement, sans sortir du cadre de l'invention, installer une trémie vibrante pour encore améliorer la régulation de la densité en vrac des produits alimentant la presse.Thus, at input 3 of the roller press, it is advantageous, without departing from the scope of the invention, to install a vibrating hopper to further improve the regulation of the bulk density of the products feeding the press.

Au contraire, l'invention comprend tous les équivalents techniques des moyens décrits, ainsi que leurs combinaisons, si celles-ci sont effectuées suivant son esprit.On the contrary, the invention includes all the technical equivalents of the means described, as well as their combinations, if these are carried out according to the spirit.
