Definitions

  • This invention relates to an apparatus for pulverizing various materials.
  • the general object of the invention is to provide an improved .pulverizing mill which will produce pulverized material of extreme fineness almost entirely free from oversize particles.
  • the invention aims also to provide such a pulverizing mill which does not become clogged by accumulation of ground material in corners or against dead surfaces, and which is of comparatively high efficiency, of compact and sturdy construction, and of high capacity for its size.
  • the pulverized and partly pulverized material that is pulverized material of different degrees of fineness, as it escapes from the boaters of the high speed rotor of an impact pulverizing mill is received by and subjected to the diffusing action of an inflowing current of air, and the diffused material is carried by the air current inwardly and radially beneath the heaters or hammers where the air current divides, part passing radially inwards through a separator wheel, while the remainder flows outwards for re-entry into the hammer.
  • the separator wheel usually rotates in unison with and is, in effect, a part of the rotor which carries the hammers.
  • the separator wheel has a series of radially arranged passages therethrough closed on all sides either by portions of the wheel or the cas ing of the mill but open top and bottom. Means are provided for producing a lower pressure on the discharge side or inner periphery of the separator wheel than on the inlet or hammer chamber side to cause air to flow radially inwards through such passages. As the passages are closed on all sides the air flowing through them is given the same rotative speed as the separator wheel. This rotation produces centrifugal force on the air so that the pressure difference must be great enough to overcome such force as well as those of friction and the like.
  • the air flowing radially through the separator carries with it material in suspension.
  • material like the air by which it is carried, is given a rotative speed about the rotor axis equal to that of the separator wheel.
  • This rotation produces centrifugal forces which cause the particles to move radially outwards through the air in which they are suspended with speeds which vary with the size of the particles, the large particles moving faster than the small ones.
  • This variable velocity movement of the particles is in the opposite direction to the constant velocity air movement so that the resultant movement is outwards for the large particles and inwards for the small.
  • the high centrifugal force to which all material is subjected before it can leave the hammer chamber enables the rate of air flow to be increased to a high figure before unacceptably coarse material is swept out of the chamber. This is important, especially in very fine grinding, since high capacity and efficiency both require the removal of acceptably fine material as soon after it is produced as possible.
  • the path from the hammers to the separator wheel and back to the hammers should be as short as practicable.
  • the invention includes the provision of an annular hammer chamber of small cross-section surrounding the hammers fairly closely on all sides.
  • the outer peripheral area of the hammer path which is roughly a measure of the pulverizin capacity of a mill, should be large in comparison with the volume of the hammer chamber. Otherwise there will be an unduly large amount of air carrying material in suspension uselessly circulating around in the hammer chamber.
  • Fig. 1 is a side view of the mill partly in central vertical longitudinal section
  • Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken on line 2--2 of Fig. 1 with parts shown in elevation;
  • Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken on line 33 of Fig. 1 with the rotor and the separator wheel shown partly in elevation and partly broken away;
  • Fig. 4 is a fragmentary sectional view showing a modified construction of the rotor and separator wheels
  • Fig. 5 is a plan view of a mill having a single outside suction fan
  • Fig. 6 is a sectional view taken on line 6 of Fig. 5 and Fig. 7 is a detail view showing the direction of flow of air into, through and out of the hammer chamber.
  • the mill housing comprises a central or main portion It providing a. cylindrical mill chamber ll having an imperforate peripheral wall, two end portions i2 providing, together with two partition and spacing members l3, two fan Chambers !4.
  • the bearings it are mounted on cross members of the base frame [8.
  • a rotor Mounted on and keyed to the shaft :5 is a rotor having a body part formed by two body discs 28 seated against shoulders 2
  • the beater blades When the mill is in operation the beater blades extend radially from the body discs 20, their outeredges being close to the cylindrical peripheral wall of the chamber as usual in hammer mills.
  • the peripheral wall of the chamber is most desirably provided with a liner 24 having a transversely corrugated inner face as shown.
  • the outer side edges of the blades 25 are most desirably not connected by a shroud plate'or otherwise, but the blades extend with their free outer side edges just clear of an annular portion 28 of. the end wall of the chamber.
  • the diameter of the separator wheels is substantially less than that of the rotor, the open material-receiving periphery of each separtor wheel being radially in line with and spaced inwardly from the beater blades so as to leave a comparatively wide flow space between'them.
  • the blades are relatively short radially, leaving an open flow space between their inner edges and the hub 21.
  • the blades of the separator wheels being, as in Fig. 1, carried by discs 26 on hubs thus constituting separately formed and separately removable wheels
  • the blades might be carried by the rotor body discs, as shown by Fig. 4, the rotor discs 20 then being of sufiicient diameter to serve as the discs of the separator wheels as well as formin the beater carrying body of the rotor.
  • the wheel of Fig. 4 also has an annular shroud plate 26 by which the outer side edges of the blades are connected.
  • separator wheel 4 may be considered as providing a separator wheel on each side of the rotor, and both arrangements may be considered as providing a separator wheel having a plurality of circumferentially spaced relatively short radial blades set in axial planes and extending between annular side walls which confine to the spaces between the blades currents of air flowing 'inwardly from the periphery of the wheel. Having the wheels separately removable is of advantage, as will appear, and, as stated above, the arrangement in which the outer side edges of the blades are not connected together is con sidered most desirable.
  • the end portions [2 0f the housing are. spaced from the central portion H3 so as to provide between them and the central portion I0 sub stantially continuous annular air inlet slots 30 through which, when the mill is in operation, air is drawn into the mill chamber by s'uction fans 3! in the fan chambers I4.
  • the suction fans draw the air through the separator wheels and thence through annular suction passages 32 between the annular partitions I3 and the hubs of the separator wheels and suction fans and into the fan chambers. flow way from the mill chamber to the suction passages 32 is through the flow spaces between Preferably and as shown, the rotor and the separator wheels and the suction fans are all keyed to and driven by the shaft 15.
  • the hubs of the separately removable separator wheels butt against the body discs of the rotor, and the fan hubs butt against the separator wheel hubs.
  • the end walls of the mill chamber are concavely curved as shown at 33 so that, as indicated by the arrows in Fig. '7, the air currents entering through the inlet slots 30 and flowing against these walls are directed inwardly beneath the beater blades and over the materialreceiving peripheries of the separator wheels;
  • the annular portions 28 of the end walls of the chamber are shaped to the shape of the outer side edges of the blades of the separator wheels and lie very close thereto, so that currents of air flowing inwardly from the periphery of the wheel are confined to the spaces between the blades.
  • the width of the blades of the separator wheels, and therefore the axial width of the interblade spaces between the discs 26 and the wall portions 28 increases in the direction radially inward from the periphery, this increase in width being most conveniently provided by havin the outer side edge of the blades inclined and the portions 28 of the end walls of the mill chamber correspondingly inclined,
  • This increase inwardly of the width of the interblade flow spaces of the separator wheels is for the purpose of increasing inwardly the cross-sectional area of the flow spaces to reduce the air drag as the centrifugal force on the particles decreases with decrease in radius.
  • the peripheral edge of the discs 26 and especially the angle between the wall 28 and the concavely curved wall 33 are rounded as shown with a radius of curvature which should be greater than and most desirably about of the width of the blades at their outer edge.
  • the end portions I2 of the housing are so shaped as to provide fan chambers of volute form and have extensions 35 which provide tangential outlet or discharge passages 35.
  • the outer wall of each fan chamber has close to the fan hub several openings 37 through which air may be admitted for reducing the suction through the suction passage 32.
  • the amount of air admitted through these inlet openings of each fan chamber is adjustably controlled, as by an annular damper plate 38 which is secured in adjusted position by screws 39 extending through slots in the plate.
  • the central portion it of the housing, forming the peripheral wall of the mill chamber, has a feed opening it through which the material to be pulverized is fed, preferably tangentially, into the mill chamber through opening in the liner 2%.
  • the material is supplied to the feed opening through a feed chute i in a part 42 attached to the housing portion W from suitable feeding means which may be mounted on a supporting bracket 43, the feed chute having, in addition to its material inlet opening :34, an air inlet opening 55 for admitting with the material an amount of air which is small compared to the amount of air entering through the annular slots 38.
  • the beater blades 22 act as fan blades, there is a tendency for the air driven against the peripheral wall of the mill chamber to move axially outward in diverging spiral directions toward the ends of the beater blades, as indicated by the arrows in Fig. 7.
  • the blades are made wider at the middle and tapering in both directions toward their ends, the outer edges of the blades being straight and the inner edges sloping from the middle portion toward each end'of. the blades.
  • the blades will, because of their tapered form, develop a greater air pressure at the center than at and near their ends.
  • the central portion it of the housing is. formed in two separable parts Ito and ifib meeting in a diametrical, and preferably horizontal, plane.
  • the lower part liib of the hous ing portion H] has on its two sides mounting extensions 59 which, for supporting the houslog, are seated on and bolted to longitudinal beams of the base frame it; and the upper part iiia is hinged to the lower part Iiib on one side by a hinge bolt 52 connecting hinge arms 53 and 54, respectively, extending one from each part and secured together by a bolt 55, and on the other side the upper part is secured to the lower formed each of two separable parts Fla and no meeting in the same diametrical plane as the parts of the central portion I ll, and each part of each end portion is secured to the corresponding part of the central portion It by screw bolts 60 and spaced therefrom by spacers 6l.
  • the width of the annular air inlet slots 3i) may, obviously, be varied, as may be needed or desirable for 'pulverizing dilferent materials, by the use of shims to supplement the spacers 6
  • the pulverized and partly pulverized material escapes from the ends of the beaters, moving circumferentially and spirally toward the ends of the mill chamber, it is struck by and becomes diifused in the rapidly moving current of air drawn in through the annular slots at by the suction created by the suction fans 3
  • the air streams are divided into two parts. One part flows over the separator wheels and turns radially outwards to enter the hammer path. The other part flows into the material receiving peripheries of the separator wheels.
  • the pulverized and partly pulverized materia1 in the inwardly flowing air streams is subjected to the separating action of centrifugal force working against the drag of the rapidly moving air, whereby oversize particles are rejected, the acceptably fine material passing on with the air. they leave the separator wheels move circumferentially and spirally outward in air currents induced by the fan action of the beater blades whereby they are carried between the beater blades to be again subjected to the impact pulverizing action of the blades and between the blades and the liner of the peripheral wall of the chamber.
  • the rotor beaters are thus at all times acting both on new material fed into the mill and on the oversize partly pulverized material rejected by the separator wheels.
  • the acceptably fine pulverized material passes on with the air current through the separator wheels and through the passages 32 to the suction fans to be discharged through the tangential discharge passages 36.
  • the fine pulverized material discharged from the suction fan chambers may be separated and collected from the air in which it is suspended in any suitable manner, as by means of cyclone separators.
  • the rejection of oversize particles from the air streams in the separator wheels results from the fact that, because of the high rotary speed of the separatorwheel blades, centrifugal forces
  • the air streams with pulverized The rejected particles as proportional to their weights are developed in the particles which have entered the wheels at the same time that the particles are subjected to a fluid drag which is proportional to their crosssectional areas and to some extent affected by their shape and surface character.
  • the ratio of the centrifugal force acting on the particles to the force of the fiuid drag on the particles increases as the size of the particles increases (this is on the assumption that the particles are substantially spherical and is substantially true for other particles), and this ratio for particles of any given size is maintained constant or substantially so throughout the radial length of the flow spaces since, because of the increase inwardly of the cross-sectional area of the flow spaces, the velocity of the air decreases as it flows in through the spaces so that the fluid drag on the inwardly moving-particles decreases as the centrifugal force acting on the particles decreases. Particles over a certain size, depending on the peripheral speed ofthe separator wheel and the velocity of the entering air, will thus be stopped by centrifugal force and caused to move out of the wheel against the dra of the air.
  • Table A illustrates the mode of operation of the separator wheels. The figures are based on the assumption that:
  • the specific gravity of the material forming the particles is 2.0.
  • the blades may be about long and be spaced about 2 apart. With substantially more air, or with th blades spaced further apart, the blades should be longer. If the blades of a wheel are very closely spaced and correspondingly short, good separation may be obtainedwithouth'aving the side walls relatively inclined to cause the cross-sectional area of the interblade spaces to increase inwardly.
  • the fineness to which the material is pulverized by the rotor will, of course, vary according to the speed of the beater blades and the time the material remains in the mill and also on the character of the material.
  • the fineness of the product delivered from the mill depends on what size particles are allowed to pass through the separator wheels and what size particles are rejected by the separator wheels and returned to the beater blades, and this varies.
  • the finer will'be the product; and the greater the peripheral speed of the wheels and, therefore, the greater the centrifugal force exerted on the particles, the finer will be the product. Therefore, if, with other conditions remaining constant, wider separator wheels are used, or the air inlet opening 37 are opened, or
  • the outer side edges of the separator wheel blades should, as stated, be closely spaced from the walls 28, the edges of the blades and the walls being conformed to each other. This is necessary in order to avoid leakage of oversize particles past the wheels.
  • the clearance between the blades and the walls may be greater when the wall is inclined as shown than would be permissible if the wall were normal to the wheel axis.
  • the permissible clearance will vary for wheels having blades of diiferent lengths and Widths. In a 12 mill such as the one shown, separator wheels having blades wide at the periphery and wheels having blades wide at the periphery, and 1" long in both cases, have been used with a clearance of approximately .030".
  • the new mill is of high efiiciency, as evidenced by its low power consumption compared to its capacity and fineness of product; it will deliver a product of extreme fineness having only a very small fractional percentage of slightly oversize particles; it has high production capacity for its size; it can with most materials be operated continuously for long periods of time without clogging by accumulation of ground material in corners or against dead walls; it may be used to produce at the same time product of two different degrees of fineness; and temperature rise during operation of the material being ground and of mill parts is comparatively low; and it can be used for pulverizing materials of widely diferent characteristics and properties.
  • av mill such as shown having a mill chamber 12" in diameter and separator wheels 9" in diameter with blades wide at the peripheral edge, with the rotor, separator wheels and suction fans driven at 6000 R. P. M. and a little more than 600 cu. ft. of air passing through the two separator wheels per minute, has delivered over 400 lbs. of sugar per hour of which 99.96% will pass through a 325 mesh screen (i. e. below 40 microns diameter), the power consumption having been under 15 H. P. With separator wheels having blades wide at the periphery, still finer sugar has been produced, and in pulverizing Ti-Cal (white pigment) and anhydrous CuSOi, product of considerably less than quarter the above particle size is obtained.
  • the arrangement of the mill shown by Fig. l to 3, which has two suction fans both mounted within the mill housing and driven by the rotor shaft, has many advantages. It is sometimes desirable, however, to provide for conveniently adjustably varying the suction through the mill chamber and separator wheels for varying the fineness of the product or for the pulverizing of diiTerent materials. Adjustment of fan speed will give a greater range of variation of the suction through the mill chamber than is practically obtainable by means of the damper plates 38, and the simplest and probably the best way to provide for fan speed adjustment is by having a single independently driven suction fan outside the mill housing.
  • Figs. 5 and 6 illustrate the use of a single independently driven suction fan for maintaining the air flow through the mill chamber and separator wheels of a double ended or duplex mill according to the invention.
  • the mill housing I0 and its contained operating parts may be the same as shown by Figs. 1 and 3 except that, instead of the fan chambers IA of Figs. 1 and 2 and the fans 3! capable of maintaining the desired air flow through the mill chamber and separator wheels, the fan casing part of the end portions l2 of the housing of the mill illustrated by Figs.
