A nozzle ring assembly for use around a circular grinding path of a roller mill of the kind comprising a grinding table which is rotatable about a vertical axis, and grinding rollers urged against the grinding table. The nozzle ring assembly comprises a nozzle ring with circumferentially spaced guide vanes for directing air, in use, over the grinding path in a direction with a component substantially tangential to the grinding path. The nozzle ring also has a set of annular guide vanes which are disposed one above the other for directing air, in use, substantially horizontally over the grinding path.

A rotary drum for treating materials comprises a drum shell having a generally tubular configuration wall and one or more unitary material treating members forming a portion of the wall. In a preferred embodiment, the drum shell comprises a plurality of ring-shaped sections mechanically joined together in axial alignment wherein at least one of the sections has a unitary material treating member forming a portion of the section wall. In typical applications the treating members are cast steel members and the remaining portions of the drum shell are predominantly plate steel. The advantages of this drum include easier fabrication with a reduction in the extent of welding, avoidance of welding in inaccessible locations, elimination of abrupt changes in thickness and, in operation, a reduction of unwanted shearing stresses.

A multi-compartment tube mill is disclosed for the grinding of coarse material such as cement clinker in which the tube mill is divided into at least two mill sections each of which includes at least one grinding chamber. An inlet is provided at one end of the tube mill for the coarse material and for ventilating air or gas to ventilate the tube mill and for heat exchange with the material. An outlet is provided at the opposite end of the tube mill for the ground product. Disposed between the two mill sections is a composite diaphragm which defines a separation zone therebetween for removing humidity from the first mill section, and for introducing fresh ventilating air or gas into the second mill section. A method is disclosed for grinding coarse material in the inventive tube mill in which atmospheric conditions are controlled from the inlet to the outlet of the mill.

Tube mill and method for grinding cement clinker

A tube mill is disclosed for drying and grinding moist material which comprises at least one compartment for drying moist material and at least one compartment communicating with the drying compartment for grinding the material. A separating chamber is positioned between the adjacent communicating drying and grinding compartments with means being provided for introducing hot gases and material to the drying compartment so that the material may pass to the separating chamber and the grinding compartment. A sieve drum is centrally positioned within the separating chamber to sieve hot gases and entrained material and to direct the hot gases and entrained material to the interior of the separating chamber while the separating chamber is divided into compartments by a plurality of radial vanes and is subdivided by partitioning members such that gases and entrained material passing through the compartments of the separating chamber travel along a circuitous path which effects a separation of the entrained material while scoop members convey material to the compartments of the separating chamber and the radial vanes direct the material to the successive grinding compartment. A separating chamber for separating gases and entrained material is also disclosed.
