4-24 POLYCOM high-pressure grinding roll

4.2 Description of functioning

4.2.1 High-pressure grinding roll


The high-pressure grinding roll is used for grinding brittle mill feed material. The
mill feed material is ground between two counter-rotating rolls under high
pressure.

Fig. 19: Grinding principle

After passing the gap between the rolls the mill feed material is fragmented and
generally emerges from between the roll pair as a highly compacted cake.
The drive, the material inward and outward conveying equipment, the hydraulic
system and the lubrication system are monitored during operation. If an important
component (e.g. lubrication system, temperature monitor, vibration monitor,
safety coupling) fails, the high-pressure grinding roll is shut down.
The bearing blocks of the fixed roll unit (7.0) are bolted onto the roll frame (10.0)
of the high-pressure grinding roll. The pressure required for comminution is
transmitted via the floating roll unit (6.0) into the mill feed material. During
operation, the floating roll unit constantly adapts to the changing properties of the
mill feed material by changing its position.
The required grinding forces are generated by a hydraulic system (4.0) and
transferred to the floating roll (6.0) via plunger cylinders (4.3).
The fixed roll unit (7.0) and the floating roll unit (6.0) of a high-pressure grinding
roll are each driven separately by their own drive (5.0).
By means of the feed material guide (11.0), the feed material is guided into the
roll gap.
The wear of the rolls depends on the abrasiveness of the material to be ground.
By means of the wear measuring device (9.0), the wear can be determined.
Depending on the type of the wear measuring device (9.0), it is mounted either on
the roll or on the bearing units.
en-PM.CPT.001.D Components and description of functioning
®
POLYCOM high-pressure grinding roll 4-25

4.2.2 Roll units

Floating roll unit (6.0)


The bearing blocks (6.1) of the floating roll unit (6.0) slide on the guide rails
(10.12) in the roll frame (10.0).
The grinding force is transferred via the pressure plates (6.5) from the plunger
cylinder (4.3) to the bearing blocks (6.1) and to the roll unit (6.0).
With increasing wear of the roll surfaces, the pressure plates (6.5) of the plunger
cylinders (4.3) have to be underlaid with compensation plates (6.6), as the stroke
of the plunger cylinders (4.3) is limited.
At the same time, distance plates (6.3) have to be removed from under the push-
back cylinders (4.4) and pressure plates (6.7) of the spacers (10.10) have to be
removed, too (see page 3-5, Setting values and maximum permissible wear of
the roll surfaces).

Fixed roll unit (7.0)


The compensating strips (10.8) of the fixed roll unit (7.0) are screwed onto the roll
frame (10.0), before the fixed roll unit (7.0) is installed. The locking wedges (10.4,
10.15) form a positive connection between the roll unit and the roll frame (10.0).
As a result, the grinding forces are directly transmitted into the roll frame (10.0).

4.2.3 Bearing cooling system


The bearing cooling system ensures that the bearing temperatures remain low.
Low bearing temperatures result in longer bearing service lives.

Water cooling system of the bearing blocks and rolls


When the high-pressure grinding roll is started, the cooling water supply is closed
(solenoid valve (A) energised/activated). As soon as a bearing temperature of
60 °C is reached (mean value of all 4 bearings), the cooling water supply is
opened (solenoid valve (A) de-energised/deactivated). During further operation,
the cooling water supply remains open, even if the bearing temperature falls
below 60 °C.

4.2.4 Hydraulic system (4.0)


The hydraulic system (4.0) has the following main functions:
● Pushing the floating roll unit (6.0) forward and backward
● Generating the contact pressure required for the comminution of the feed
material
● Creating a hydropneumatic spring system
● Actuating the gate valves of the mill feed system (1.0) (if installed)
Two plunger cylinders (4.3) are bolted onto each pressure block (10.17).
The pistons of the plunger cylinders (4.3) press the floating roll unit (6.0) via the
pressure plates (6.5) in the direction of the fixed roll unit (7.0).
The working pressure is built up by means of the hydraulic unit (4.6). While the
pistons of the plunger cylinders (4.3) press against the pressure plates (6.5) of
the bearing blocks (6.1), oil pressure is applied to the backs of the pistons. The
backs of the pistons are connected with the oil side of the corresponding piston
accumulator (4.1) via a common oil channel in the pressure block (10.17).
When the floating roll unit (6.0) is pushed back by the grinding forces in the roll
gap during operation, the plunger cylinders (4.3) press oil from the cylinder
chamber into the piston accumulator (4.1). The piston of the piston accumulator
therefore moves upwards against the gas pressure and compresses the gas
volume above the piston. The higher the piston in the piston accumulator is
pressed, i.e. the smaller the gas volume, the harder is the spring. The position of
the piston in the piston accumulator (4.1) is determined by the acting oil pressure
and by the initial filling pressure of the nitrogen in the piston accumulator (4.1).
When the initial filling pressure is applied, the system must be depressurised on
the oil side, i.e. the piston is in contact with the bottom of the piston accumulator
(4.1).
A throttle check valve is located in the oil route between the plunger cylinder (4.3)
and the piston accumulator (4.1). This throttle check valve is installed in such a
way that in the oil-flow direction from the plunger cylinder (4.3) to the piston
accumulator (4.1), the oil can flow practically unthrottled into the piston
accumulator (4.1). However, the oil flowing from the piston accumulator (4.1) to
the plunger cylinder (4.3), has to flow through the throttle check valve. By means
of the throttle valve setting, it is possible to influence the smooth running of the
high-pressure grinding roll.
If the spring has to be hard, a low initial filling pressure is applied (the piston is
located very high during operation).
If the spring has to be soft, a high initial filling pressure is applied (the piston is
located further down during operation).
When the initial filling pressure (PV) has been applied in the two piston
accumulators (4.1), the basic force (FG) is generated at the set basic gap by
adjusting the start-up pressure. The oil pressure (PÖ) and gas pressure (PG)
increase and the piston moves upwards in the piston accumulator (4.1), until a
state of equilibrium is attained.
The basic gap (S0) between the roll units is set by means of spacers (10.10).

4.2.5 Roll frame

Spacers (10.10)
The gap between the floating roll unit (6.0) and the fixed roll unit (7.0) depends on
the capability of the rolls to pull in the feed material, the roll speed and the density
of the mill feed material.
In order to avoid contact of the rolls, a basic gap is set between the rolls by
means of the spacers (10.10) during the first commissioning.
During operation, the grinding surfaces of the rolls are subject to wear and the
working gap moves in the direction of the fixed roll unit (7.0) and gets wider. In
order to maintain the width of the basic gap, the spacers (10.10) have to be
readjusted.
If there is no more adjustment left for the spacer (10.10), the pressure plates (6.7)
for the spacer (10.10) can be replaced.

4.2.6 Mill feed system


Depending on the application, the mill feed system (1.0) of the high-pressure
grinding roll consists of a chute or a feed bin with an adjustable feed shaft.
Depending on the mill feed material, the chute consists either of inclined or of
straight walls and is lined with wear protection in accordance with the
requirements.
The feed bin is supported on a load-cell fixed-bearing system. The weight of the
bin is measured by the load cell. A control loop ensures that there is always an
adequate filling level in the feed bin. The control is implemented by changing the
operating parameters such as the roll speed or the velocity of the feed unit. In
order to prevent the feed bin from overflowing, a filling level monitor is additionally
installed.
By means of the adjustable feed shaft, the width of the vertical feed shaft can be
steplessly adjusted, which allows correction of the feed material pull-in behaviour
and the throughput rate. The adjustable feed shaft can be designed with or
without gate valves.

POLYCOM high-pressure grinding roll 4-31

4.2.7 Travel measuring device


The travel measuring device measures by means of non-contact distance
sensors the respective positions of the bearing blocks (6.1) of the floating roll unit
(6.0). The difference between the positions measured indicates the skewing of
the floating roll unit.
In order to preclude the occurrence of damage, the high-pressure grinding roll is
switched off when excessive skewing of the floating roll unit is registered.

4.2.8 Central lubrication system (3.0)


The central lubrication system (3.0) supplies the self-aligning roller bearings of
the roll units with lubricant. Lubrication takes place either via the bearing covers
only (in a single pipe circuit system) or successively and in equal parts via the
bearing covers and the outer bearing rings (in a dual pipe circuit system).
The lubrication pump is driven either pneumatically or electrically.
If a pneumatic drive is installed, the air supply is controlled by means of the
conditioning unit (3.2.2). The pressure monitor (3.2.3) monitors that a sufficient air
pressure is available.
The filling level monitor (3.3.3) monitors the filling level in the grease reservoir or
the grease barrel. When the filling level is low, an alarm is triggered, and after a
certain period the high-pressure grinding roll is switched off.
The lubrication takes place in lubrication cycles, the number of which depends on
the construction size of the machine (see page 3-4).
The lubrication cycle starts when the pump (3.3) is switched on. The grease can
then by supplied to the lubrication points by the pump (3.3) via the filter (3.4.1),
the solenoid valve (3.4.3, 3.4.2) and the lubricant distributor (3.4.4, 3.4.5).
The lubrication points connected to the lubricant distributors (3.4.4, 3.4.5) are
supplied with grease in a cycle, one after the other. During one distributor cycle, a
contact rod is pressed out of the distributor and actuates an electrical limit switch
(3.4.6, 3.4.7).
The signal transmitted by the limit switch (3.4.6, 3.4.7) is used in the machine
controller for monitoring and functional control. The lubrication points connected
to a lubricant distributor (3.4.4, 3.4.5) are supplied with equal lubricant quantities,
independent of the respective counterpressure.
After the limit switches (3.4.6, 3.4.7) of the lubricant distributors (3.4.4, 3.4.5)
have generated the required pulses, the lubrication cycle is finished, and the
solenoid valves (3.4.2, 3.4.3) are de-energised. If the required number of pulses
is not achieved within a specified period, an alarm is triggered.
When the ambient temperatures are low, the central lubrication system (3.0) is
designed as a heated version, in which all heating components are separately
adjustable by means of a thermostat.
