What’s a coal mill ?

SBM coal mill is a flexible design, we absorb the advantages of Loesche coal mill and add some features too. Coal mill or coal pulverizer can handle all grades of coal and is highly economical in terms of specific energy consumption. SBM Raymond coal mill can grind all grade coal from hard coal, woody lignite, lignite to anthracite coal, petroleum coke, SBM can supply a turnkey project including design, install, and debug all kinds of coal grinding mill plants.

SBM Raymond coal mill allows clients custom setup in order to suit the required the output, as we have been concerned with pulverized fuel for boilers of power station, we also developed our LM series vertical coal mill. This type coal mill features with compact design, adaptable to specific process requirements, long life time, easy to maintain, so the vertical mill now sets the standard for coal grinding mill.

SBM roller grinding mills are the most efficient grinder mills in the world and achieve very high throughputs. They are also extremely maintenance friendly. Service tasks can be carried out quickly. Downtimes are therefore reduced to a minimum.

Coal mill used at coal fired power plant

In coal fired power plant, coal mill is used to grind, pulverize and dry coal before the coal is transmitted the boiler. The coal is feed into the coal mill via a inlet pipe so that the roller coal mill such as Raymond mill and vertical mill can pulverize the coal into particles.

The hot air in the coal mill will lift the coal particles out of the Raymond mill or vertical mill and into the boiler, if the coal particles are too heavy they will drop to the bottom of the coal mill too and will be grind, pulverize again.

The coal flow into the boiler is an important factor for a coal fired power plant. But in fact, it is not easy to measure the coal flow from the coal mill to the furnace. The coal flow out of the coal mill is often estimated based on the incoming coal flow.

The Operation Rules of the coal Mill

Raw coal is fed through a central coal inlet at the top of the pulverizer and falls by gravity to the rotating grinding table, mixing with classifier rejects returned for re-grinding. Centrifugal action forces the coal outward to the grinding ring where it is pulverized between the ring and three grinding rollers.

Grinding load, transmitted from the tension rods through the loading frame to the roller assemblies, holds the rollers in contact with the grinding ring. The rollers adjust vertically as the depth of the coal load increases or decreases.

 A nozzle ring on the outside perimeter of the grinding ring feeds primary air to the pulverizer. Pyrites and tramp metal fall through the nozzle ring openings to be scraped into a rejects hopper.

 A stream of low-velocity air carries the particles of pulverized coal upward where they enter the classifier inlet vanes. Fine particles travel to the burners in the primary air stream, but the larger, heavier particles are returned to the grinding zone for further pulverization.
