In a vertical mill, a pulverization table is supported with a vertical rotation axis core in a housing so as to be capable of being driven and rotated, and a pulverization roller rotatable in conjunction with rotation of the pulverization table is disposed above the pulverization table so as to be opposed to the pulverization table, and a cutter roller rotatable in conjunction with rotation of the pulverization table is disposed above the pulverization table so as to be opposed to the pulverization table. Accordingly, a solid matter such as biomass can be efficiently pulverized, thereby achieving improvement in pulverization efficiency.
1. A vertical mill, comprising:
a pulverization table supported with a vertical rotation axis core in a housing so as to be driven and rotated;
a pulverization roller disposed above the pulverization table so as to be opposed to the pulverization table and is rotatable in conjunction with rotation of the pulverization table; and
a cutter roller disposed above the pulverization table so as to be opposed to the pulverization table and is rotatable in conjunction with rotation of the pulverization table, wherein
the housing includes a support shaft with a leading end part facing a rotation axis core of the pulverization table,
the pulverization roller is rotatable supported at the support shaft, and
the cutter roller is rotatably supported at the support shaft,
the pulverization roller is rotatably supported at the leading end part of the support shaft, and
the cutter roller is rotatably supported at a leading end part of a branch shaft branched from the support shaft.
2. The vertical mill according to claim 1 , wherein
the pulverization roller is one of a plurality of the pulverization rollers disposed at regular intervals along a direction of rotation of the pulverization table, and
the cutter roller is one of a plurality of the cutter rollers disposed so that each one of the plurality of the cutter rollers is located next to a pulverization roller of the plurality of the pulverization rollers in the direction of rotation of the pulverization table.
3. The vertical mill according to claim 1 , wherein a pressing device is disposed so as to be capable of pressing the pulverization roller and the cutter roller at a position with a predetermined gap relative to the pulverization table.
