Method for reconditioning a used grinding roller

1. Method for reconditioning a used grinding roller of a material bed roller mill, containing a plurality of profile-members which are embedded, with a portion of the length thereof, in holes of the roller body and, with the remainder of the length thereof, projecting above the surface of the roller body, with that projecting portion of the profile-members and the surface of the roller body being at least partially worn,

characterised by the following method steps:

a) after the worn profile-members are removed, the worn surface of the roller body is turned at least in a part-region of the width of the roller body and differently worn part-regions are turned to different diameters;

b) subsequently, material layers of different thicknesses are applied to the surface of those part-regions in a welding operation in order to obtain a uniform outer diameter; and

c) subsequently, the welded material layers are provided with holes for receiving new profile-member.

2. Method according to claim 1 , characterised in that the material layer which is applied in a welding operation—when viewed over the width of the roller body—has different hardnesses, thicknesses and wear properties.

3. Method according to claim 1 , characterised in that the holes which are constructed in the welded material layer extend into the base material of the roller body located under that material layer.

4. Method for reconditioning a used grinding roller of a material bed roller mill, containing a plurality of profile-members which are embedded, with a portion of the length thereof, in holes of the roller body and, with the remainder of the length thereof, projecting above the surface of the roller body, with that projecting portion of the profile-members and the surface of the roller body being at least partially worn,

characterised by the following method steps:

a) after the worn profile-members are removed, only a most heavily worn part-region of the worn surface of the roller body is turned to a diameter along the width of the roller body;

b) subsequently, a material layer is applied at least to the turned surface in a welding operation in order to increase the diameter; and

c) subsequently, that welded material layer is provided with holes for receiving new profile-members.

5. Method according to claim 4 , characterised in that the material layer which is applied in a welding operation—when viewed over the width of the roller body—has different hardnesses, thicknesses and wear properties.

6. Method according to claim 4 , characterised in that the holes which are constructed in the welded material layer extend into the base material of the roller body located under that material layer.

7. Method for reconditioning a used grinding roller of a material bed roller mill, containing a plurality of profile-members which are embedded, with a portion of the length thereof, in holes of the roller body and, with the remainder of the length thereof, projecting above the surface of the roller body, with that projecting portion of the profile-members and the surface of the roller body being at least partially worn,

characterised by the following method steps:

a) after the worn profile-members are removed, the worn surface of the roller body is turned to a diameter at least in a part-region of the width of the roller body;

b) subsequently, a material layer is applied at least to the turned surface in a welding operation in order to increase the diameter and when viewed over the width of the roller body has different hardnesses, thicknesses and wear properties; and

c) subsequently, that welded material layer is provided with holes for receiving new profile-members.

8. Method according to claim 7 , characterised in that

a) less heavily worn part-regions are turned as far as the diameter of the most heavily worn part-region and

b) subsequently, a common material layer is applied to those differently worn part-regions in a welding operation in order to increase the diameter.

9. Method according to claim 7 , characterised in that

a) differently worn part-regions are turned to different diameters and

b) subsequently, material layers of different thicknesses are applied to the surface of those part-regions in a welding operation in order to obtain a uniform outer diameter.

10. Method according to claim 7 , characterised in that

a) only the most heavily worn part-region is turned and

b) subsequently, a material layer is applied to that turned part-region in a welding operation.

11. Method according to claim 7 , characterised in that the holes which are constructed in the welded material layer extend into the base material of the roller body located under that material layer.
