APPARATUS FOR PULVERIZING.
Application filed February 24, 1927, serial No. 170,441, and in Great Britain April 1, 1926.
ing cross'section in upward direction. The
particles of the material travel on the disc under centrifugal force, suffering attrition. "When they leave the periphery of the disc they are returned to the space above the'disc partly by reflection from the inner surface of the casing, or from ribs or plates which this surface may carry, and partly by deflection by an air current set up in the casing by the revolving disc. Falling again upon the.
disc the particles again travel on the latter under centrifugal force, suffering further attrition and are again returned as before to the disc.
In order to separate the sufficiently finely ground particles from those that are coarser,
air may be admitted to the casing and a vent therefor provided. The current of "air through the casing' thuscreated, and if desired enhanced by forming the under surface of the disc with blades or the like so that the disc may act as a fan, carries the fine particles through the vent, while the coarse parti- This effect may largely be due to the swirling motion of the current caused by the revolving disc, since the coarse, heavier particles are prevented by centrifugal force from escaping through the vent when this is axial.
Since the pulverizing action is mainly due to attrition, it is useful to provide an abrasive surface to the disc and the inner surface of the casing may also be of a particularly abrasive nature.
For the same reason it is advantageous that the disc should be dished or of bowl-shape, since this formation increases the pressure of the particles against the surface of the disc as they move under centrifugal force.
The invention is particularly applicable to the pulvcrizing of coal.
The accompanying drawing is an axial section through a'mill constructed in accordance with the invention.
The circular dish a is mounted within the casing b to rotate-at high speed together with the shaft ,0. The greater part of the surface of the dish consists of an abrasive material (2, such as carborundum.
The upper part of the casing b curves inwards towards the centre of the disc, shown, and is cast with an internal dished ring 7', which is preferably hollow for the sake of lightness. The under surface of this ring has substantially the same curvature as that of the upper surface of dish a and the two surfaces are fairly close together.
The dish a is cast with blades 9 which operate as the blades of a fan in the conical lower portion of the casing 12. a
The aXiaLpipe h serves for passage of air leaving the mill and carrying the finely subdivided product. The material to be ground fed from a hopper i by any well-known feeding device 70. 1t passes down a chute e co-axial with pipe 0, and is distributed by the cone Z on to the dish a which is revolved at a very high speed.
The particles of material are compelled-by centrifugal action to travel up the curved surface of dish a under a pressure far exceeding that represented by their weight, so that they are reduced insize by ZLttIltliOlll against the grinding material (Z. At the pe riphery of the disc they enter a rapid current of air induced by the blades 9. Those particles which are not sufficiently fine to be dlverted at once by this air current and carried as indicated by arrow'm into the space immediately below the pipe h, strike the internal surface of the casing b and are reflected into the said space, Where they fall back on to the plate a to be further'treated. The fines are carried by the air current through the pipe k, to be disposed of in known manner. 1
The air induced by the fan blades 9 may be preheated, if desired; but even with air at ordinary temperature, the drying effect is good, because local currents of air, as indicated by arrows n, are set up in the mill.
Having thus described the nature of the said invention and the best means I know of ciirrying the same into practical effect, I c a1m:-
