Abstract

A milling station and a method for grinding milling material using at least one coarse grinding circuit and at least one fine grinding circuit. The coarse grinding circuit includes a classifier and a material bed roller mill. The fine grinding circuit includes a tube mill with at least two grinding chambers, a central outlet, and a divider. In some instances, at least some of the milling material from the coarse grinding circuit is subdivided in the divider and delivered to the at least two grinding chambers of the fine grinding circuit while some of the milling material is jointly discharged from the at least two grinding chambers through the central outlet.

Claims (7)

1. Grinding station with at least one coarse grinding circuit ( 1 ) and at least one fine grinding circuit ( 2 ), wherein the coarse grinding circuit comprises a classifier ( 10 ) and a material bed roller mill ( 11 ) and the precrushed material of the material bed roller mill enters the classifier, the coarse material ( 5 ) of which is redelivered to the material bed roller mill and the fine material of which is at least for the most part delivered to the fine grinding circuit, wherein the fine grinding circuit comprises a tube mill ( 20 ) with at least two grinding chambers ( 20 a , 20 b ) and a central outlet ( 20 c ) and a divider ( 21 ), wherein at least some of the grinding material of the coarse grinding circuit is divided in the divider and delivered to the two grinding chambers and the grinding material is discharged from the two grinding chambers together via the central outlet, and wherein the ratio of length to width of each grinding chamber ( 20 a , 20 b ) is ≦2.2.

2. Grinding station according to claim 1 , characterised in that the two grinding chambers ( 20 a , 20 b ) are of identical formation and the divider ( 21 ) is set such that the grinding material ( 6 ) which is delivered to the divider is delivered to the two grinding chambers in equal portions.

3. Grinding station according to claim 1 , characterised in that a classifier ( 22 ) is provided in the fine grinding circuit, to which classifier at least all the grinding material ( 7 ) from the central outlet of the tube mill is delivered.

4. Grinding station according to claim 1 , characterised in that a classifier ( 22 ) is provided in the fine grinding circuit, to which classifier at least all the grinding material ( 7 ) from the central outlet of the tube mill and at least some of the material ( 6 ) coming from the coarse grinding circuit is delivered.

5. Grinding station according to claim 1 , characterised in that a classifier ( 22 ) is provided in the fine grinding circuit, to which classifier at least all the grinding material ( 7 ) from the central outlet of the tube mill and optionally the material ( 6 ) coming from the coarse grinding circuit is delivered, wherein the coarse material ( 8 ) of the classifier reaches a divider ( 23 ) and the fine material ( 9 ) is removed.

6. Grinding station according to claim 1 , characterised in that the two grinding chambers ( 20 a , 20 b ) are equipped with grinding bodies.

7. Grinding station according to claim 1 , characterised in that grinding balls with a diameter of ≦25 mm are provided in the grinding chambers ( 20 a , 20 b ) of the tube mill ( 20 ).
