COAL PULVERISER

INTRODUCTION

PULVERISER IS USED IN POWER PLANT.

CRUSHING THE COAL.

EFFICIENT COMBUSTION OF COAL.

FUNDAMENTAL REQUIREMENT OF PULVERISER

FEED SYSTEM.
AIR SYSTEM.
GRINDING,CLASSIFYING & CIRCULATING
COAL ANALYSIS

(GRINDING,CLASSIFING & CIRCULATING)

TYPES OF PULVERISERS
SPEED OF ROTATION OF MILL (RPM)
Slow Speed
Medium Speed
High Speed

(15 25 rpm)

- Ball / Tube Mill.

(30 100 rpm)

- Bowl Mill, Ball & Race Mills.

(600 1000 rpm)

- Beater Mill / Hammer Mills.

SHAFT ORIENTATION
Horizontal Shaft Mills
Vertical Shaft Mills

Generally slow speed & High Speed Mills.

Generally Medium Speed Mills.

BALL / TUBE MILL

25% to 30% of cylinder volume is filled with

wear resistant balls of 30 60mm dia.
The cylinder is rotated at a speed of about 20
rpm.
Suitable for hard coals.
Highly reliable & requires low maintenance.

GRINDING MECHANISM

Pulverization

due to Impact.

Pulverization due to Attrition.

Pulverization

due to Crushing.

BOWL MILL

The

most widely used mill for grinding coal.

The

raw coal is fed into the center of the mill.

This

is an intermediate speed pulverizer.

The

vertical shaft rotates at a speed 30 50 rpm.

SUCTION MILL / NON-PRESSURISED

SUCTION MILL / NON-PRESSURISED

Mill Is Operating At Negative Pressure

Suction Is Created By An Exhauster Fan Placed After Mill &

Handle High Temperature Pulverized Coal & Air Mixture.

Each Mill Is Having Its Own Exhauster Fan.

The Mill & Exhauster Fan Is Operated By The Common

Motor.

Tempering/ Cold Air Is Sucked From Atmosphere &

Controlled By Regulating Damper.

GRINDING MECHANISM

Pulverization due to Crushing:Crushed Coal In Between Roller & Bowl.

Pulverization due to Attrition:Rubbing The Coal With Bowl Or In Roller.

BOWL MILL
The primary airflow measurement by round crosssectional area venturis - flow nozzles provided to measure
and control primary airflow to improve mill performance

HAMMER/BEATER MILL

Similar to radial fan.

Beater wheel
harden blades.

Pulverization is more effective

high speed of blades & excellent drying facility.

FD fan air is used for drying & transporting.
