Abstract

The invention relates to a method for comminuting material to be ground having a roller mill which has a mill platen, at least one mill roller and at least two drives for driving the roller mill, with there being provided a power compensation control system for the drives which controls the power of the drives at a predetermined ratio relative to each other by the speed of at least one drive being controlled.

Claims (14)

1. A method for comminuting material to be ground, the method comprising providing a roller mill ( 1 ) which has a mill platen ( 10 ), at least one mill roller ( 11 , 12 ) and at least two drives ( 13 , 14 ) for driving the roller mill ( 1 ),

providing a compensation control system formed by a power compensation control system ( 2 ),

carrying out a compensation control operation for the at least two drives with the power of the at least two drives being controlled at a predetermined ratio relative to each other by controlling the speed of at least one of the at least two drives ( 13 , 14 ).

2. The method according to claim 1 , characterised in that a drive ( 13 , 14 ) is associated with each of the at least two mill rollers( 11 , 12 ).

3. The method according to claim 2 , characterised in that the mill platen ( 10 ) is driven only by means of the at least two mill rollers ( 11 , 12 ) and the material ( 3 ) to be ground.

4. The method according to claim 1 , characterised in that the power compensation control system ( 2 ) further comprises controlling of the speed of the mill platen ( 10 ).

5. The method according to claim 1 , characterised in that the speed of the drives ( 13 , 14 ) is controlled in such a manner that a predetermined speed of the mill platen ( 10 ) is further maintained.

6. The method according to claim 1 , characterised in that the power compensation control system ( 2 ) comprises a motor model.

7. The method according to claim 1 , characterised in that the control of the speed of the drives ( 13 , 14 ) is carried out by means of frequency converters ( 20 , 21 ).

8. The method according to claim 1 , characterised in that the power consumption of the drives ( 13 , 14 ) is detected.

9. The method according to claim 1 , characterised in that an independent drive is associated with the mill platen ( 10 ).

10. A roller mill ( 1 ) having a mill platen ( 10 ), at least one mill roller ( 11 , 12 ), at least two drives ( 13 , 14 ) for driving the roller mill ( 1 ) and a compensation control system for the drives,

characterised in that the compensation control system is formed by a power compensation control system ( 2 ) operable to control the at least two drives at a predetermined ratio relative to each other by controlling the speed of at least one of the at least two drives.

11. The roller mill according to claim 10 , characterised in that the power compensation control system ( 2 ) comprises a frequency converter ( 20 , 21 ) associated with the drives ( 13 , 14 ), a power compensation control unit ( 22 ), a mill platen speed sensor ( 23 ) and a mill platen speed control unit ( 24 ).
