Abstract

A lifting wall arrangement at an end wall of a drum mill, having a plurality of segments which are removably installable on the end wall. Each segment includes an inner wall and an opposing outer wall. At least one lifting blade is arranged on the outer wall, such that the outer wall, the lifting blade and the inner wall define a discharge channel leading to a discharge cone. The inner wall forms a part of a sieving wall in the drum mill. Each segment constitutes an integrated unit adapted to be installed on the end wall. Other embodiments include a segment of a lifting wall arrangement and a drum mill having a lifting wall arrangement.

Claims (11)

1. A lifting wall arrangement configured to be installed at an end wall of a drum mill, having a plurality of segments which are removably installable on the end wall, wherein each segment comprises an inner wall and an opposing outer wall, wherein at least one lifting blade is arranged on said outer wall, such that the outer wall, the lifting blade and the inner wall define a discharge channel leading to a discharge cone, and wherein each segment constitutes an integrated unit adapted to be installed on the end wall, wherein the integrated unit is adapted to be attached to the end wall from the outside of the drum mill, wherein the integrated unit comprises first mounting means adapted to, through mounting holes in the end wall, interact with complementary second mounting means installed from the outside of the drum mill, and wherein the first mounting means comprises a fastener body insert arranged in a recess or a bore in the outer wall of the integrated unit facing the end wall.

2. A lifting wall arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the fastener body insert constitutes a threaded bushing or sleeve.

3. A lifting wall arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the inner wall of the integrated unit comprises sieving openings.

4. A lifting wall arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the inner wall and the outer wall of the segment are connected by chemical bonding or mechanical connection and thereby form an integrated unit.

5. A lifting wall arrangement according to claim 4 , wherein the chemical bonding comprising one of the following vulcanization or gluing.

6. A lifting wall arrangement according to claim 4 , wherein the mechanical connection comprising one of the following bolting or riveting.

7. A lifting wall arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein each segment comprises polymer, metal, ceramic, or any combination thereof.

8. A lifting wall arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein each segment is arcuate.

9. A segment of a lifting wall arrangement configured to be installed at an end wall of a drum mill, wherein the segment is removably installable on the end wall, wherein at least one lifting blade is arranged on said outer wall, such that the outer wall, the lifting blade and the inner wall define a discharge channel leading to a discharge cone, and wherein the segment constitutes an integrated unit adapted to be installed on the end wall wherein the segment is adapted to be attached to the end wall from the outside of the drum mill wherein the integrated unit comprises first mounting means adapted to, through mounting holes in the end wall, interact with complementary second mounting means installed from the outside of the drum mill, and wherein the first mounting means comprises a fastener body insert arranged in a recess or a bore in the outer wall of the integrated unit facing the end wall.

10. A segment according to claim 9 , wherein the inner wall comprises sieving openings.

11. A drum mill, wherein it comprises a lifting wall arrangement according to claim 1 .
