Abstract

Abstract A separator for separating fractions of granular material particularly for use in an interparticle crushing product bed comminution press including an outer conically shaped chamber with means for receiving air and the product to be comminuted at the lower end of the chamber, an inner conical chamber, a second coarse grits outlet leading from the inner conical chamber, a first coarse grits outlet leading from the outer conical chamber, a rotor at the upper end of the inner conical chamber having turbo elements thereon, baffles surrounding the turbo elements, and a fine products discharge from the upper end of the inner chamber with the coarse grits discharge from the outer chamber led back to the inlet of a high pressure interparticle crushing roller mill and the fine grits material discharged from the inner chamber led to a tubular mill.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 143 words
A circulating grinding system for grinding particulate material comprising in combination: a high pressure roller press having an entry nip for interparticle crushing delivering partially agglomerated scabs which include finely ground material; a tube mill having an input connected to receive the output from said roller press and grinding the material breaking the agglomerate; a separator connected to receive an output from the tube mill, said separator having a coarse grit fraction output and a fine grit fraction output; first conduit means connected said coarse grit fraction output directly to the nip of said roller press whereby the coarse grits are passed through the roller press with other stock; and second conduit means connected said fine grit fraction to the input of the tube mill whereby the separated fine grit fraction is mixed with input to the tube mill from the roller press.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 143 words
A circulating grinding system for grinding particulate material comprising in combination: a high pressure roller press having an entry nip for interparticle crushing delivering partially agglomerated scabs which include finely ground material; a tube mill having an input connected to receive the output from said roller press and grinding the material breaking the agglomerate; a separator connected to receive an output from the tube mill, said separator having a coarse grit fraction output and a fine grit fraction output; first conduit means connected said coarse grit fraction output directly to the nip of said roller press whereby the coarse grits are passed through the roller press with other stock; and second conduit means connected said fine grit fraction to the input of the tube mill whereby the separated fine grit fraction is mixed with input to the tube mill from the roller press.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 34 words
A circulating grinding system for grinding particulate material constructed in accordance with claim 1: wherein said separator is a cyclone having a separation chamber with an inlet means for delivering air to the chamber.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 63 words
A circulating grinding system for grinding particulate material constructed in accordance with claim 2: wherein said chamber contains a rotatable bar basket having circumferentially spaced turbo-elements carried thereon; a stator baffle element circumferentially surrounding the bar basket; a downwardly slanting surface leading from the stator baffle elements to a finer grits discharge opening; and a finer product opening being above the bar basket.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 45 words
A circulating grinding system for grinding particulate material constructed in accordance with claim 1: wherein said tube mill has a perforated partition therein separating the mill into a first grinding chamber containing grinding members and a second deglomeration chamber having an absence of grinding members.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 71 words
A circulating grinding system for grinding particulate material constructed in accordance with claim 1: wherein said separator contains a cyclone chamber; a rotary power driven turbo-element within the cyclone chamber; stationary elements surrounding the turbo-chamber; an outer conically shaped chamber for the coarse grit fraction; a coaxial inner conical chamber for the fine grit fraction; and a lower tubular conduit for the entrance of air leading to the outer conical chamber.
Claim 7
Independent Claim 125 words
The method of grinding particulate material in accordance with the steps: grinding a supply of particulate material with a high pressure roller press forming interparticle crushing and providing partially agglomerated scabs which include finely ground material; delivering the output of the high pressure roller press to a tube mill and grinding the material breaking the agglomerates in the tube mill; separating the material from the output of the tube mill into a coarse grit fraction and a fine grit fraction; delivering the coarse grit fraction to the input of the roller press to mix with the stock material delivered thereto; delivering the fine grit fraction material from the separator to the tube mill to be ground with the output from the high pressure roller press.
Claim 8
Independent Claim 125 words
The method of grinding particulate material in accordance with the steps: grinding a supply of particulate material with a high pressure roller press forming interparticle crushing and providing partially agglomerated scabs which include finely ground material; delivering the output of the high pressure roller press to a tube mill and grinding the material breaking the agglomerates in the tube mill; separating the material from the output of the tube mill into a coarse grit fraction and a fine grit fraction; delivering the coarse grit fraction to the input of the roller press to mix with the stock material delivered thereto; delivering the fine grit fraction material from the separator to the tube mill to be ground with the output from the high pressure roller press.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 26 words
A method for grinding particulate material in accordance with the steps of claim 6, including separating the output from the tube mill with a cyclone separator.
