An enhanced retractable flow discharge extension is configured for use in a coal pulverizer having a classifier system including a feedpipe to deliver from above raw coal to a pulverizing structure and a classifier cone positioned around the feedpipe to collect oversized coal for the pulverizing structure. The enhanced retractable flow discharge extension is configured to deliver oversized coal to the pulverizing structure and has a conical extension portion having an inlet end configured to be contiguous with the classifier cone outlet, a fixed cylindrical portion having an upper end contiguous with an outlet end of the conical extension portion, a movable cylindrical portion having a circumference larger than a circumference of the fixed cylindrical portion, the movable cylindrical portion being movably attached to the fixed cylindrical portion, and a distal portion movably attached to the movable cylindrical portion, the distal portion having a straight portion and a tapered portion.

A method and a device for controlling the drive of a vertical mill having a grinding plate rotatable about the vertical axis are disclosed. The grinding plate can be driven by an electric motor and a drivetrain with a gearbox. An actual rotational speed and a drivetrain torque with respect to the drivetrain are detected and are fed to a control device together with a specified target rotational speed. The control device generates an output signal for a target torque based on the actual rotational speed and the target rotational speed and based on the drivetrain torque such that the resulting target torque is reduced or increased in the same direction as a torque resulting from the milling process.

A multi-purpose food grinding machine having an open topped cylindrical vessel that is rotated by a gear reduced motor. The motor is located within a hollow housing. A keyed motor shaft engages a mating aperture in the bottom of the cylinder. A frame holds the housing in place under the vessel. A central shaft is held by the frame and extends downward into the vessel. Rotatable grinding members are attached to the bottom of the shaft so that as the vessel is rotated by the gear motor, the grinding members rotate at the bottom of the vessel causing any food items trapped between the grinding members and the floor of the vessel to be crushed. The grinding members are forced downward by a spring biased mechanism. A spring biased inside wall scraper forces food to drop back down into the vessel.

The invention relates to a method for milling hot and wet raw materials, in particular cement clinker, in a vertical airflow mill (1), to a vertical airflow mill (1), to a device (10) for supplying cooling gas, and to corresponding channel-like segments (20). The device (10) for supplying cooling gas is configured in an annular manner about the entire circumference of the vertical airflow mill (1). Inlet (21) and outlet openings (24) for the cooling gas have an adapted surface which allows an equalization of the inflow cooling air into an increasing airflow/milling particle mixture.

Provided is a vertical pulverizing apparatus capable of suppressing abrasion of throat vanes (40) and elongating their abrasion resistant lives to thereby increase working efficiency. The vertical pulverizing apparatus is characterized in that: a throat (4) is provided between a housing (32) and a pulverizing table (2) and has an annular flow channel which is surrounded by a throat inner peripheral wall (41) and a throat outer peripheral wall (42) and which is partitioned by a large number of throat vanes (40); and a slope part (43a, 43b) extending diagonally downward from an inner peripheral wall surface of the housing (32) toward a top end of the throat outer peripheral wall (42) and a horizontal part (44) extending from a bottom end of the slope part (43b) continuously to the top end of the throat outer peripheral wall (42) are provided so that top end surfaces (40a) of the throat vanes (40) and a top surface of the horizontal part (44) can be set at the same height.

A system for suppressing and inhibiting fires in coal pulverizer mills can include a fire suppression solution storage tank, a flow control cabinet, an equipment control/pumping enclosure, an air distribution system, and injection piping and nozzles installed at various positions in one or more pulverizer mills. A first set of nozzle assemblies in communication with the fire suppression solution can be positioned in the mill to disperse the suppression solution within the classifier zone of the mill. A second set of nozzle assemblies in communication with the suppression solution can be positioned within the mill to disperse the suppression solution within the grinding zone. A third set of nozzle assemblies can be positioned within the primary air duct of the mill.

The roller mill for grinding of material to be ground prescribed by the invention has a grinding table and at least one grinding roller which works with the grinding table, whereby a water lance for applying water to the material to be ground is placed in the rotation direction of the grinding table in front of the grinding roller. The water lance is designed to rotate and means for rotating the water lance are provided in order to specifically influence the exposure time of the water to the material to be ground before the material to be ground is gathered by the grinding roller.
