Description

High pressure roller press

Description:

The invention relates to a roller press or high-pressure roller press, in particular a material bed roller mill or compacting machine, with two press rollers rotatably mounted in a press frame (and driven in opposite directions), between which a pressure zone is formed with a roller gap arranged at the level of the roller axes, the gap width of which during the Operation is variable, the pressure zone between the press rolls (or the nip) is delimited on the roll front side by (two) delimitation plates arranged laterally next to the press rolls, the delimitation plates being attached to the press frame in such a way that the Boundary plates can be pushed back against the application of force during operation of the roller press (e.g. when a roller is tilted) and can thus also be tilted.

Such a roller press is used in particular to crush material, especially highly abrasive material, such as ore, cement clinker, slag or ceramic base materials, or to compact z. B. Fertilizers. The roller press is used for. B. the high pressure crushing and is then also referred to as material bed roll mills. Alternatively, the roller press can also be used to compact material. In the case of material bed rollers, the individual particles of the feed material are not broken between the surfaces of the two rollers, as is the case with a crusher, but they are compressed in a material bed or material bed under high pressure and thus comminuted in a highly efficient manner. When compacting material in a roller press, the feed material is pressed between the rollers to form a scab (e.g. when compacting fertilizers). The two rollers of a roller press are driven in opposite directions. Preferred is one of the

Press rollers are designed as a fixed roller and the other press roller as a loose roller, the loose roller being movable relative to the fixed roller, namely adjustable against the fixed roller with a variable gap width. For this purpose, the loose roller is via force generating means, e.g. B. hydraulically and / or pneumatically, adjustable against the fixed roller and so as it were supported against a hydropneumatic spring. The gap between the rollers adjusts itself automatically until a certain pressure is applied between the rollers. The gap width results from the ratio of the pressing force of the hydraulic system to the reaction forces emanating from the material to be processed.

At the side, the roller gap or the pressure zone is limited by delimitation plates which are attached to the press frame and which in practice are also referred to as "cheek plates" or hopper delimitations or hopper delimitation plates. Their shape is often adapted to the pressure zone (the "filling funnel") between the press rollers, which tapers in a funnel-shaped manner in the direction of rotation of the press rollers or in the conveying direction.

If, in practice, it is not possible to ensure that the feed material is fed evenly across the width of the roller, the rollers may be inclined relative to one another or the loose roller relative to the fixed roller, so that a roller gap with a gap width that is not identical across the roller width is also possible during operation can adjust. In the case of press rolls of normal size, such misalignments are in the edge areas in the order of several millimeters to several centimeters. For this reason, the lateral delimitation plates are not rigidly attached to the press frame, but can be pushed back when force is applied, e.g. B. spring-loaded or

hydraulically preloaded. The use of such spring-loaded Fülltrichterbe limit plates has proven itself in practice.

However, the limiting plates are subject to high wear in practice. It is therefore known to provide the delimitation plates with a wear protection layer. So z. B. in DE 102018 113440 A1 describes a roller press in which plate-shaped wear protection elements on the one hand and pin-shaped wear protection elements in the high-pressure zone on the other hand are used for the wear protection layer of the boundary plates.

In order to reduce the friction in the area of the side boundary plates and thus the wear, it is proposed in WO 2006/124425 A1 to provide a plurality of movable elements arranged in a matrix on the side boundary plates which, for. B. can be designed as roles. The rollers distributed like a matrix on the “cheek plates” should allow the surface to move with the material and thus reduce friction and consequently wear.

In an alternative concept, the lateral delimitation plates attached to the press frame are dispensed with and instead delimiting elements, e.g. B. fixed circumferential flanges which are rotatably connected to one of the rollers, so that these lateral flanges rotate with the rollers and are consequently moved at the speed of the material. This allows the wear in the area of the delimiting elements to be reduced. However, it is disadvantageous that these lateral flanges do not readily allow the loose roller to be tilted, so that homogeneous material feed must be ensured across the width of the machine. Such a roller mill with side flanges for

Roll gap limitation is z. B. described in DE 37 01 965 A1. In order to enable a certain inclination of the rollers with such a solution with lateral flanges, an elastic deformation of the flanges is permitted in DE 102018 108690 A1. However, such measures are relatively expensive.

In addition, US 647 894 discloses a roller press with “cheek plates” fixedly mounted on the sides, with rollers that laterally delimit the press gap being provided in the area of the lower sections of the “cheek plates” that are usually provided. They consequently replace the lower part of the conventional delimitation plates and are intended in particular to reduce wear. However, both the cheek plates and the rollers are fixedly mounted during operation. The rollers can only be moved with the aid of screw bolts for the purpose of adjustment.

In a roller press, which is used to produce briquettes, lateral hopper limits are provided, which are provided with special wear protection agents. For this purpose, a frame in which several rollers are arranged one below the other can be inserted into a cutout of the filling chute limiting plates (cf. DE 665 141).

Furthermore, a device for rolling strips of metal powder is known, in which a loose disk rotating with this roller is arranged on each side of the one roller to delimit the side of the roller gauge (cf. DE 11 16036). Similar devices are known from US 2,904,829 and US 4,231,729.

Incidentally, roller presses are also known for compacting directly reduced iron at high temperatures (cf. EP 2 314723 B1 and

EP 3358024 A1). Lateral “cheek plates” are also provided for these presses. The “cheek plates” are provided with indentations in the upper area, which allow the inclined arrangement of the screw conveyor.

DE 3635762 A1 describes a roller mill in which the end walls of the feed shaft are provided with special damming elements which are intended to have an open honeycomb structure.

EP 2 505 346 A1 describes boundary plates for the briquetting of material with a high moisture content, the boundary plates having a curved area into which special bodies are integrated so that drainage channels are formed.

Finally, US Pat. No. 1,050,183 discloses a roller press with lateral delimitation plates which are, as it were, box-shaped and form material pockets for receiving material.

Starting from the known prior art, the invention is based on the object of creating a high-pressure roller press, in particular a material bed roller mill or compacting machine, of the type described at the beginning, which is characterized by an improved mode of operation and, in particular, a high throughput while being simple in construction.

To solve this problem, the invention teaches in a generic high-pressure roller press that is equipped with force-loaded boundary plates that (only) a single roller is attached to the boundary plates at the level of the roller gap, which is rotatably mounted about its roller axis and which the roller gap laterally limited. Each of the two side delimitation plates is consequently provided with a single roller, see above

that there are (only) two roles in total. The roller axes are oriented perpendicular to the roller axes or perpendicular to the stationary roller axis of the fixed roller (and perpendicular to the direction of transport of the material through the roller gap).

The invention is initially based on the knowledge that it is advantageous to provide the basically known, force-loaded delimitation plates (cheek plates) so that - unlike the solutions with delimiting flanges on a roller - an inclined position of the rollers or a Inclination of the loose roller relative to the fixed roller can be allowed. This configuration has the great advantage that overloading the machine or the hopper limiting devices is reliably avoided without having to ensure that the feed material is fed evenly across the width of the roller. At the same time, according to the invention, the friction in the area of the high pressure zone is reduced by integrating a single roller as a transport roller in these push-back delimitation plates. Such a single roller in the area of a delimitation plate means that not several rollers are arranged one above the other, but rather only a single roller is rotatably arranged in the area of the high pressure zone on the delimitation plate. However, this embodiment does not preclude such a single roller from being composed of several roller sections or roller parts rotatable next to one another about the same axis. Preferably, however, these rollers or roller sections rotating next to one another around the same axis have a (one-piece) roller shell that is continuous over the width and circumference, so that there is in particular no risk of material getting stuck in a gap between the individual rollers or roller sections.

In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the delimitation plates - in addition to the roll provided in each case - each have a material guide pocket that is integrated into the delimitation plate, namely above the roll attached to the delimitation plate, so that the roll via this material guide pocket from above Material is acted upon or can be acted upon. Set-back material guide pocket means that the pocket is set back with respect to a front plane of the delimitation plate, the front plane being the plane of the delimitation plate facing the roller end face and oriented parallel to the roller end face. The material guide pocket consequently has a rear wall which is set back with respect to this front plane and is (at least) partially spaced from the front plane and which is preferably curved. In a side view, the material guide pocket is particularly preferably funnel-shaped with a width that tapers downwards. As an alternative or in addition, the material guide pocket has a depth that tapers downwards, so that a funnel-shaped material guide pocket is implemented overall, with which the material is fed from above to the transport roller attached to the delimitation plate.

These material guide pockets integrated into the boundary plates, which are particularly important in combination with the transport rollers, create an oversupply of feed material or regrind in the front, outer areas of the rollers and at the same time become the place where the friction between the feed material and the Boundary plate occurs, moved by the set back rear wall of the material guide pocket from the roller face "to the outside". In this way, the material flows in better at the roller edges and is better drawn into the roller gap. This counteracts the effect observed in practice with conventional “cheek plates” or boundary plates, after which the

Edge areas less material is drawn into the nip and thus less material is shredded or compacted. Overall, the effectiveness of the roller press is consequently improved across the width of the roller gap. At the same time, the rotation of the provided transport rollers considerably reduces the friction in the area of the high pressure zone and thus on the one hand minimizes wear and on the other hand improves the material distribution over the gap width. This increases the overall throughput of the roller press.

The transport roller on the force-loaded (for example the spring-loaded) delimitation plate is therefore of particular importance in combination with the material guide pockets. The roller is preferably dimensioned and positioned such that the upper vertex of the roller is arranged above the roller axis and / or that the lower vertex of the roller is arranged below the roller axis or the roller axes. In any case, the two transport rollers attached to the two delimitation plates - based on the height - are arranged in the area of the pressure zone of the roller press. The pressure zone is defined as the zone of the work space of the roller press, which extends between the two rollers over a circumferential angle of -5 ° to + 15 °, in each case in the direction of the roller gap and based on a straight line through the center points of the two rollers. The roll gap is at the height of the roll axes and consequently in each case at a circumferential angle of 0 °. The pressure zone is therefore by definition the area between + 15 ° above the roller axis and -5 ° below the roller axis. The transport rollers are arranged in the area of the roller axes and consequently also in the area of the pressure zone. The transport rollers are preferably dimensioned and arranged in such a way that the upper vertices of the rollers are arranged within the pressure zone (based on the height of the pressure zone)

are. Alternatively or in addition, the lower vertices of the rollers are arranged below the pressure zone. The roller axes of the transport rollers are arranged approximately at the level of the roller axis (s).

The diameter of the rollers is preferably adapted to the roller diameter of the press rollers in that the roller diameter is at least 5% of the roller diameter, preferably at least 10% of the roller diameter. The roll diameter can, for example, be about 5% to 35%, e.g. B. 10% to 30% of the roll diameter. The roller diameter of the press rollers is typically between 1000 mm and 3000 mm, e.g. 1200 mm to 2000 mm. For example, the diameter of the (transport) roller can be at least 50 mm, preferably at least 100 mm, particularly preferably at least 200 mm. So the roll diameter z. B. 50 mm to 1000 mm, preferably 100 mm to 600 mm, e.g. B. 200 mm to 450 mm.

The width of the (transport) roller is preferably greater than the maximum gap width of the roller gap and consequently greater than the preset zero gap plus at least the distance by which the roller gap opens during machine operation. The width of the roll can be at least 1%, preferably at least 2% of the roll diameter, e.g. B. at least 50 mm, preferably at least 60 mm. Most preferably the width of the roll is about 1% to 10%, e.g. B. 2% to 8% of the roll diameter. So the role z. B. a width of 50 mm to 200 mm, e.g. B. 60 mm to 100 mm. The width of the (transport) roll means the width of the (circumferential) working surface of the roll and consequently the width of the bale of the roll.

The role is to reduce the lateral friction in the pressure zone or high pressure zone. In addition, the roll should transport additional material from the funnel or the material guide pocket located above the roll into the gap and consequently convey material into the area of the roll gap. This is achieved, among other things, through the appropriate dimensioning and also the arrangement of the roller at the height described. The effect can be further improved by providing the roller with a profiled or structured surface (on the roller circumference). So z. B. pin-like wear elements (so-called "studs") are used, the z. B. from EP 0 516 952 for equipping the roll surface of press rolls of a material bed roll mill or which, according to DE 10 2018 113 440 A1, are also used as wear protection elements in the area of boundary plates or cheek plates.

The supply of the material to the rolls via the material guide pockets or material funnel can also be improved by using guide fittings that are integrated in the material guide pockets in a suitable manner. As an alternative or in addition, the boundary plates can be provided with additional sealing plates which run parallel to the front plane or in the front plane and partially cover the material guide pocket on the front. These sealing plates, which also improve the feeding of the material from the material guide pockets into the area of the roll, are explained in more detail in the description of the figures.

In principle, there is the possibility of using transport rollers without a drive, so that the rollers rotate passively, as it were, due to the material fed in and moved by the press rollers. The rollers are preferably driven (indirectly) via the rollers by pressing the rollers with their peripheral surfaces against the end surfaces of the rollers. Because the

Circumferential surfaces of the rollers are in any case larger or wider than the roller gap, so that the rollers with their peripheral surfaces or ball surfaces (work surfaces) z. B. can be pressed by the application of force on the boundary plates against the end faces of the rollers and thus can be driven over the rollers. However, there is also the possibility of providing each of the rollers with a drive so that actively driven rollers are used, which are preferably driven at the same peripheral speed as the press rollers. In this way, the friction in the area of the transport rollers can be reduced particularly well. Optionally, the rotational speed or the peripheral speed can also be somewhat faster than that of the roller surfaces in order to optimize the conveying effect of the material in the roller gap.

The preferred implementation of the set-back material guide pockets in the area of the boundary plates also means that material is pushed over the end faces of the rollers into the material guide pockets and over this path into the grinding gap. This has the advantage that the grinding gap is also supplied with material. To this end, it can be advantageous to additionally protect the end faces of the rollers against wear, so that the measures for reducing wear are optionally provided in the area of the end faces, which are usually used in the area of the circumferential surface of the rollers, e.g. B. suitable armor. Structuring in the area of the end faces of the rollers can optionally also be expedient in order to increase the effect of drawing in material.

Of particular importance is the fact that, within the scope of the invention, an inclination of the rollers with respect to one another or an inclination of the loose roller with respect to the fixed roller is explicitly permitted. The respective

The roller presses the side delimitation plate to the side or back in a conventional manner, so that the delimitation plate with the roller rests against the two roller end faces or roller flanks. Damage to the side boundary plate and the roller is not to be feared, however, because the relative speed between the (press) roller on the one hand and the (transport) roller is in any case lower than the relative speed between the (press) roller and the boundary plate without rollers on the other.

In the following, the invention is explained with reference to drawings, which, however, only represent an exemplary embodiment of the invention. Show it

1 shows a greatly simplified schematic vertical section through both rolls of a roll press,

2 shows a vertical section through the roller gap of a roller press according to the invention in a more detailed representation (section),

FIG. 3 is a view from above of the object according to FIG. 2,

Fig. 4 shows a side delimitation plate according to the invention in a perspective view from the inside and

5 shows the side delimitation plate according to FIG. 4 in a perspective view from the outside.

In the figures, a floch pressure roller press 1 is shown, which is designed as a material bed roller mill or compacting machine. It has a press frame 2 and two press rollers 3, 4 driven in the direction of the arrow and mounted in the press frame. Between the press rolls is

a pressure zone 5 is formed with a roller gap S arranged at the level of the roller axes X, X ', the gap width W of the roller gap S being variable during operation of the roller press 1. Because one of the press rolls is designed as a fixed roll 3 and the other press roll as a loose roll 4, the loose roll 4 via force generating means, e.g. B. hydraulically, against the fixed roller 3 (in a horizontal plane) can be adjusted so that the gap width W of the roller gap S changes within certain limits during operation. The roller gap S or the gap width W adjusts itself automatically along the roller gap until a certain pressure acts between the rollers. This means that the roller axes X, X 'are arranged in a common horizontal plane and are oriented parallel to one another in a basic position (with “zero gap”). During operation, however, the loose roller 4 can tilt relative to the fixed roller 3 about a vertical axis and consequently in a horizontal plane, so that the roller axes X, X 'are always arranged at one level and consequently in a horizontal plane during operation, however, can be oriented at a certain angle to one another within this plane.

The material is fed in from above via a feed chute (not shown) and is drawn into the pressure zone by the counter-rotating rotation of the rollers, where it is comminuted (or compacted) under the action of the existing grinding pressure. The pressure zone 5 arranged between the rollers is delimited on the roller front side by delimitation plates 8 arranged laterally next to the press rollers 3, 4, which in practice are also referred to as hopper delimitations or “cheek plates”. These boundary plates 8 are movably attached to the press frame 2, namely subjected to force, for. B. by springs 9, the application of force acting in the direction of the roller end faces 6. During operation, the limiting plates 8 are against the application of force, for.

B. against the force of the springs 9, can be pushed back. This is essential because in such a roller press the aforementioned inclination of the rollers or of a roller 4 with respect to one another is deliberately permitted.

A single roller 10 is attached as a transport roller to each of the two delimitation plates 8 at the level of the roller gap S and consequently at the level of the roller axes X, X '. In addition, each of the two delimitation plates 8 has a front plane 11 facing the respective roller end face 6 and oriented parallel to the roller end face 6. In the exemplary embodiment, a material guide pocket 12 is integrated into the respective delimitation plate 8 above the attached roller 10, which is set back from the previously defined front plane 11, so that the roller 10 can be loaded with material from above via the material guide pocket 12. The material guide pocket 12 consequently has a rear wall 13 set back from the front plane 11 and at least partially spaced from the front plane, which in the exemplary embodiment is curved both in a vertical section according to FIG. 2 and in the top view according to FIG. 3. In the illustrated, preferred embodiment, this material guide pocket 12 is thus funnel-shaped in a side view or in a perspective view from the inside (according to FIG. 4), ie it has a width B which tapers downwards. In addition, the material guide pocket has a depth T which decreases downwards (see FIG. 2). This configuration leads to the material being fed via the material guide pockets 12 from above into the area of the two rollers or transport rollers 10 arranged to the side of the roller gap S. In the front, outer areas of the rollers 3, 4, an oversupply of material arises via the material guide pockets 12. Through the set back rear wall 13 of the material guide pocket

12, the influence of friction, which inhibits the feed of material, is moved from the nip to the outside, so that the material reaches the

Roll edges flows in better and is better drawn in. About the rollers or transport rollers 10, the friction in the area of the

High pressure zone 5 is significantly reduced and thus on the one hand the wear is minimized and on the other hand the material distribution over the gap width is improved.

In FIG. 2 it can also be seen that the upper vertex 10a of the roller 10 is arranged above the roller axis X or X '. The lower

The vertex 10b of the roller 10 is arranged below the roller axis X or X '. In the illustrated embodiment according to FIG. 1, the upper vertex 10a is arranged within the pressure zone 5, while the lower vertex 10b is arranged below the pressure zone 5. 1, the zone of the roller press is defined as the pressure zone 5, which extends between the two rollers over a circumferential angle a of -5 ° to + 15 °, based on the straight line connecting the roller axes X, X ‘. The pressure zone 5 is consequently by definition the area which is + 15 ° above the roller axis and -5 ° below the roller axis X, X '. The roller axis Y of the rollers 10 is z. B. approximately at the level of the roller axes X, X 'of the press rollers 3, 4.

The width E of the rollers 10 is in any case greater than the maximum gap width W and consequently greater than the zero gap of the roller gap S plus at least the distance by which the roller gap opens during machine operation. Width E or roll width means the bale width, that is, the width of the work surface of the rolls.

The roll circumference and consequently the circumferential surface 7 of the press rolls 3, 4 is in such a press roll usually with a special surface finish, for. B. provided with a wear-resistant coating or bandage. Details are not shown in the figures. In preferred embodiments, the roller circumference and consequently the circumferential or ball surface 14 of the rollers 10 can also be provided with a wear-resistant coating. The circumferential surfaces 14 of the rollers 10 can consequently be designed to be wear armored or have wear armor. With this wear armoring of the rollers 10, known measures for the wear armoring of the roller surfaces can be used. So z. B. in the circumferential surface a large number of studs are integrated like studs (stud lining). Alternatively, wear armoring can be implemented from a large number of tile-like wear elements attached to the surface. Wear armoring by build-up welding can also be considered. The roller itself is always preferably made of steel and the wear armor made of a hard, wear-resistant material is arranged on the circumference of this roller. Optionally or in addition, the circumferential surface 14 of the rollers can be equipped with a profiling or structuring. Details are not shown. In addition, there is the possibility that the rollers 10 are each driven with a drive. Such a drive is not shown in the figures. In addition, guide fittings for guiding the material onto the roll 10 can be integrated in the material guide pockets 12, such guide fittings also not being shown. In Fig. 4, however, it is indicated in a simplified manner that the boundary plates 8 can each be provided with one or more additional sealing plates 17, which, for. B. parallel to the front plane 11 or in the front plane 11 and which partially cover the material guide pocket 12 on the front. In this way the feeding of the material can

in the area of the roller 10 and in the area of the high pressure zone 5 can be optimized.

Finally, in Figures 4 and 5 it is shown that the delimitation plates 8 each have an opening 15 through which the roller 10 rotatably mounted on the rear of the delimitation plate 8 reaches, namely in an area below the material guide pocket 12. The rollers 10 are consequently on the Back of the delimitation plates 8 rotatably mounted about an axis Y.

The roller 10 or its bale is thus arranged in a pocket-like indentation 12 'of the delimitation plate, which is arranged below the material guide pocket 12, d. H. the funnel-shaped material guide pocket 12 opens on the underside into the indentation 12 ′ or into the recess 15 for the roll 10. The roll 10 or its balls reach through the opening 15.

Incidentally, there is also the option of using the delimitation plates, e.g. B. equip the front plane 11 and the material guide pockets 12 with a wear armor. The boundary plates can, for. B. be made of steel and a wear armor can be arranged on the respective surfaces.
