Abstract

A device for comminuting input material, especially for fine and ultrafine grinding of input material, includes a rotor revolving around a shaft inside a housing, the rotor having a cylindrical or conical jacket surface. An annular gap is present between the housing and the jacket surface, the gap forming a comminution zone and the input material being introduced axially to it. To increase the economic efficiency of the device, it is provided that a plurality of first pin-shaped comminuting tools for comminuting the input material are disposed over the circumference of the rotor, wherein the tools are aligned with their longitudinal direction perpendicular to the jacket surface in the direction of the housing.

Claims (27)

1. A device for comminuting input material for fine and ultrafine grinding of input material, the device comprising:

a housing;

a rotor rotating around a shaft inside disposed within the housing, the rotor having a conical jacket surface, wherein an annular gap formed between the housing and the jacket surface forms a comminution zone into which the input material is introduced axially; and

a plurality of first comminuting tools that are pin-shaped for comminuting the input material, the first pin-shaped comminuting tools being disposed on the rotor,

wherein the first pin-shaped comminuting tools are aligned with their longitudinal direction perpendicular to the jacket surface in the direction of the housing, and

wherein the rotor includes an end surface perpendicular to the axis of rotation and including an opening in the housing for introducing input material onto the end surface of the rotor such that the input material must move across the end surface before reaching the plurality of first comminuting tools.

2. The device according to claim 1 , further comprising a stator provided on an inner circumference of the housing, the stator being located opposite the jacket surface of the rotor and is configured to interact with the first comminuting tools.

3. The device according to claim 2 , wherein the stator has second comminuting tools that are pin-shaped and that extend axially parallel to the first comminuting tools of the rotor in a direction of the rotor and interdigitate with the first comminuting tools.

4. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the first and/or second comminuting tools are respectively arranged in several axially spaced radial planes on the circumference of the rotor and/or stator.

5. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the first and/or second comminuting tools of a radial plane are disposed at uniform circumferential distances on the rotor and/or stator.

6. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the first and/or second comminuting tools of adjacent radial planes, in each case, are disposed on a mantle line of the rotor and/or stator.

7. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the first and/or second comminuting tools of adjacent radial planes are disposed with a circumferential offset relative to one another.

8. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the rotor has a monolithic base piece in which the first comminuting tools are anchored.

9. The device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the rotor is made in several parts with a base piece and a rotor jacket disposed coaxially on the base piece, and wherein the first comminuting tools are fastened to the rotor jacket.

10. The device according to claim 3 , wherein the stator comprises a stator jacket that is disposed coaxially to the shaft on an inner circumference of the housing, and wherein the second comminuting tools are fastened to the stator jacket.

11. The device according to claim 9 , wherein the rotor jacket and/or stator jacket have penetrating openings into which the first and/or second comminuting tools are inserted and secured in position.

12. The device according to claim 9 , wherein the first and/or second comminuting tools have a cross sectional enlargement in their anchoring area to take up radial forces and the openings in the rotor jacket and/or stator jacket are formed complementary to this.

13. The device according to claim 11 , wherein the openings in the rotor jacket and/or the openings in the stator jacket are closed on one side.

14. The device according to claim 10 , wherein the stator jacket with its upper circumferential rim and lower circumferential rim is fastened in the housing by clamping.

15. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the device has a material inlet opening into the housing concentric to the shaft, and wherein the rotor on a front face thereof facing the material inlet has an impact disk for a preliminary comminution.

16. The device according to claim 15 , wherein the impact disk has impact strips on its circumference.

17. The device according to claim 9 , wherein the rotor jacket at one circumferential rim has an annular flange disposed in a radial plane, which rests on the front side of the base piece.

18. The device according to claim 17 , further comprising a concentric clamping plate that clamps the annular flange against the base piece.

19. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the

plurality of first comminuting tools that are pin-shaped each have a longitudinal axis and are disposed on the rotor such that the longitudinal axes are not perpendicular to the shaft.

20. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the end surface includes impact strips for partially comminuting the input material before the input material is acted upon by any of the plurality of first comminuting tools.
