A classifier including a housing to take in air flow from below into a radially outer region of an inside space; a flow deflection portion to deflect the air flow toward a center axis of the housing; and an annular rotational portion disposed rotatably in a radially inner region positioned on a radially inner side of the radially outer region, of the inside space of the housing, and configured to classify particles which accompany the air flow. The annular rotational portion includes a plurality of rotational blades arranged at intervals around a rotational axis of the annular rotational portion. The plurality of rotational blades form an outer shape of the annular rotational portion forms an angle θ of not greater than 75° with a segment extended in a horizontal direction from the annular rotational portion outward in a radial direction, in a side view of the annular rotational portion.

A system is disclosed. The system includes an impact processor comprising an inlet and an outlet, a secondary classifier comprising an inlet and an outlet, the secondary classifier being downstream of and coupled to the impact processor, a recirculation mixer valve downstream of and coupled to the outlet of the secondary classifier, and a recirculation line coupling the outlet of the first secondary classifier to the inlet of the impact processor.

A turret includes a generally frusto-conical shaped body and a plurality of static vanes arranged interior to the body and extending inwardly from an interior sidewall of the body. The vanes are configured to guide a swirling flow of solid particles as they enter the body, and to divide the swirling flow into a plurality of controlled flows that are communicated to a plurality of coal outlet pipes.

A turret includes a generally frusto-conical shaped body and a plurality of static straightening vanes arranged interior to the body, the vanes dividing the body into a plurality of substantially equal sections. The vanes are configured to straighten a swirling flow of solid particles as they enter the body, and to divide the swirling flow into a plurality of straightened flows that are communicated to a plurality of coal outlet pipes.

A deflector ring includes a generally annular body, and a plurality of static straightening vanes arranged interior to the body, the vanes dividing the body into a plurality of substantially equal sections. The vanes are configured to straighten a swirling flow of solid particles as they enter the annular body, and to divide the swirling flow into a plurality of straightened flows that are communicated to a turret positionable above the deflector ring.

A mill includes a housing with a first end portion, a second end portion, and a lateral area disposed therebetween. The housing includes a raw material inlet, an air inlet, a recirculated material inlet, and a material outlet. An impeller is supported by the housing and includes a shaft disposed along the longitudinal axis of the housing, with a plurality of curved blades. A method for milling includes receiving a material of a first size range, introducing the material to an apparatus via a first inlet and introducing air into the apparatus via a second inlet. The method also includes agitating the material via an impeller, where the agitation reduces at least some of the material to a second size range by the time the material reaches an outlet of the apparatus. The processed material is delivered to subsequent processing operations.

The invention relates to the method and device for milling and separation into fractions of solids and granular materials in a controlled airflow. The device for milling and separation of solids and granular materials consists of a round milling chamber with a system of pneumatic separation comprising of a vertical cylindrical body that has an uploading slot for solids and granular materials and unloading channels for the milled products of light, medium and coarse fractions. A rotating disc and a conical divider are located inside the vertical cylindrical body. The rotating disc has removable hammers and removable blades of different sizes and configurations. The system of pneumatic separation consists of a milling chamber, an air slugcatcher, channels for the milled material, and a chamber of higher pressure. Such a construction of the device allows to obtain products of the highest quality, and to improve the separation by dividing the material into three fractions: light, medium and coarse.
