A ball mill is a pulverizer that consists of a horizontal rotating cylinder, up to three diameters in length, containing
a charge of tumbling or cascading steel balls, pebbles, or
rods.
A tube mill is a revolving cylinder of up to ve diameters
in length used for ne pulverization of ore, rock, and other
such materials; the material, mixed with water, is fed into
the chamber from one end, and passes out the other end
as a slurry.
The shells are of three pieces. The intermediate shell connects to the end shells by ange joints and the total length
of shell is 7.2 m. The liners are fastened to the inner side
of mill shell (cylindrical part) to protect the shell from
the impact of the steel balls. There are 600 liners of ten
variants in each shell weighing 60.26 tonnes. The original lift value of the liners is 55 mm. and the minimum

to achieve the correct primary air temperature. In addition to raising the coal temperature inside the mill for drying and better grinding, the same air works as the transport medium to move the pulverized coal out of the mill:
it travels through the annular space between the xed
trunnion tubes and the rotating hot air tube onwards to
the classier. Coal-laden air passes through double cone
static classiers, with adjustable classier vanes, for segregation into pulverized fuel of the desired neness, and

particles rejected in the classier are returned to the mill
for another cycle of grinding.
design). As the lower ring rotates, the balls to orbit between the upper and lower rings, and balls roll over the
bed of coal on the lower ring. The pulverized material is
carried out of the mill by the ow of air moving through
it. The size of the pulverized particles released from the
grinding section of the mill is determined by a classier
separator. If the coal is ne enough to be picked up by the
air, it is carried through the classier. Coarser particles
return to be further pulverized.
Similar to the ring and ball mill, the vertical spindle roller
mill uses large tires to crush the coal. These mills are
usually found in utility plants.

coal neness control real-time to make immediate accommodation for a change in fuel or boiler load conditions. For the applications where a micrometer-ne pulverized coal is not necessary, the static classier, which
consists of a cone equipped with adjustable vanes, is
an option at a lower cost since it contains no moving
parts. With adequate mill grinding capacity, a vertical
mill equipped with a static classier is capable of producing a coal neness up to 99.5% or higher <50 mesh
and 80% or higher <200 mesh, while one equipped with a
dynamic classier produces coal neness levels of 100%
<100 mesh and 95% <200 mesh, or better.
In 1954 a Jet Pulverizer was developed in which operates like a Vertical Pulverizer only the item is pulverized
by the high speed air action. For example forcing coal
against coal.[2]
