The water piping connected to the pump aggregate is split into several
feed pipes. The feed pipes end at the distribution pipes at the mill
upper housing flange. Each distribution pipe is connected to spray
nozzles via flexible hoses. The spray nozzles are screwed into the
pipes which are flanged to the upper housing.

The nozzles are arranged so they spray water between the rollers.

The nozzle switchover point is at the lower characteristic curve range


so that large pressure surges can be avoided (see also "Characteristic
curve sheet: pumps + nozzle").

Welding procedures for roller tires and grinding plate
To be performed by experienced welding company
Needs specialised equipment (automatic welding head, large welding gear)
Will be done inside the mill with all parts installed
The table is turned by means of an auxiliary drive for welding the grinding plate
The tires are turned by the table or by separate drives for each roller
It is critical for both procedures to set-up the welding ground properly, not to
damage bearings and gears.
Generally, when welding the grinding plate or tires check for
Grinding plate set tight and all clamping bolts torqued
Tires set tight and all clamping bolts torqued
Tires are not broken or cracked in any spot
Tires and grinding plate should be built back up to the original profile
App. 8 to 12 re-weldings are possible
Welding in an external workshop is also possible after dismounting all grinding parts

Hydropneumatic spring system without counter pressure HSLM with counter OR not counter pressure

1. In coal mills in normal case hydraulic system HSLM with counter


pressure is not necessary. But it can be an option.
2. Hydraulic system HSLM with counter pressure is necessary if part load
operating at coal mills is a customers requirement.
(frequently power plants and steel plants are aware to operate in part
load)
