Abstract
Methods and arrangements for determining the fineness of a ground material in a mill are provided, wherein the acoustic spectrum of the mill during the grinding process is used for concluding the fineness. The mill comprises a drum in which the ground material is present during the grinding process, said drum being driven by a magnetic drive having at least one magnetic segment during the grinding process, so that a rotating magnetic field generated with the aid of the magnetic drive causes the drum to rotate. In order to determine the acoustic spectrum, a voltage induced in a coil of the magnetic segment is determined at least intermittently. On the basis of a model, using the detected time-dependent induced voltage, conclusions can be drawn about the acoustic spectrum and therefrom about the fineness.
