The vertical roller mill of this model has gone through the trial of production practice
for many years and the product performance has been improved continuously. Now it
joins the advanced ranks of the similar product in the world and wins the good graces
of the large domestic and abroad users.
HRM2200A vertical roller mill is grinding equipment combined with drying with an
excellent technical performance. It is mainly used for cement raw meal grinding, and
can also be uses in the industries as building materials, light industry, chemical
industry, thermo-power generation, and etc. The VRM possesses advantages of high
grinding efficiency, low power consumption, large feed size, easy to regulate product
fineness, simple technological process, low area need, low noise, simple operation
and maintenance, low operation cost and low consumption of wear-resistant materials,
and etc. In addition, the VRM has some special features as bellows:
1. Grinding rollers can be turned from inside to outside. Large space and simultaneous
operation from three working surfaces make the overhaul work such as replacement
of grinding roller tyre and liners and examination and repair of the VRM very easy.
2. Use of another side of grinding roller tyre prolongs the duration of the
wear-resistant materials.
3. No material distribution on the grinding table before start of the VRM and no-load
start of the VRM relieve the users from worries about the VRM start.
4. Use of limit device of grinding roller avoids violent vibration of the VRM caused
by interruption of material feeding.
5. Use of new sealing device for grinding rollers makes the sealing more reliable and
fan used for sealing is not necessary.
7. Use of external circulating system reduces air velocity at the air ring and as well as
power of ID fan of the VRM, improves start and stop conditions, and reduces time
for material removing during maintenance.

HRM VRM, a new type of power-saving grinding equipment, follows the working
principle as follow:
Motor drives reducer to operate grinding table. Materials to be ground are fed by air
lock feeder to the center of the turning grinding table. Under effect of centrifugal
force, materials move to the peripheries of the grinding table and enter into the
grinding path. Under pressure of the grinding rollers, materials are crushed by action
of press, grinding and shear. Meanwhile, hot gas is uniformly ejected at high speed
from the air ring surrounding the grinding table. Ground materials are raised by high-
speed gas flow from the air ring. The gas flow brings large sized materials to the
grinding table for regrinding on the one hand, and dries suspended materials on the
other. Fine materials are carried by hot gas into the separator where they are separated,
and qualified fine gets out of the mill with gas flow and then collected by dust
collector as mill product, unqualified coarse falls onto the grinding table by action of
the separator blades and reground together with new feed. In this circulation, the
grinding process is made.
Page 5 of 43
b. Grinding device
Grinding table and grinding rollers are important grinding parts. Their shapes must be
designed in order that materials to be ground can form a steady bed with uniform
thickness on the grinding table. So a rational shape of grinding table matched with
correspond grinding rollers can play a very important role in stabilization of material
bed, increase of grinding efficiency and reduction of grinding consumption. After host
of investigation and comparison, a plate shape of grinding table and a tyre shape of
roller sleeve are used. Roller tyre is in symmetric structure and can be turned from
inside to outside for continuous use, so the life of roller tyre can be prolonged.
c. Pressure system
Apply and control the action force of pressure system on materials by using hydraulic
automatic control system or hand-operated control system can be automatically
adjusted in pressure according to the grindability of materials. This makes VRM
usually operate in the most economical condition. In this way, not only the useless
work can be decreased, but also the duration of roller tyres and liner can be prolonged.
In addition, because of buffer action of energy accumulator, the hydraulic cylinder can
apply pressure in a very large range and can be automatically regulated. In case of big
and hard foreign bodies, grinding rollers can spring up, avoiding damage of grinding
parts and drive device due to too heavy load.
e. Separator device
Separator is a dynamic separator driven in mechanical way, the rotating speed of
which can be adjusted. By high rotation of the conical rotor of the separator, the

e. Packing iron (size: 200×160×25) and wedge iron
f. Marking for foundation
Firstly, clean the foundation of equipment; especially there should not be water, wood
and stone in holes of foundation bolt. To obtain a good bonding while the secondary
grout, the surface of foundation must be roughened, and the surroundings must be
well filled and compacted.
Secondly, check and accept the foundation of equipment against the civil works’
drawing, installation drawing and real dimension of the equipment. The check work
includes the followings: check whether the center line and level point made by the
construction unit are correct or not; check the outline dimension and level of
foundation, geometric size of foundation bolt hole, and distances among foundation
bolts against the equipment and technology drawings.
Against the coordinate position of the design drawing, measure the center line of
equipment by using steel-band tape, fix the longitudinal and transversal center lines
on the center standard board or draw them on the foundation and manage to keep
them during installation.
2.3.2 Installation
a. Check whether the positions of foot holes and the sizes of holes tally with the
Page 9 of 43
b. Check the sizes of foot holes of equipment, coordinate the deviation of foot holes
and determine the relative center.
Firstly, install the under bed of the reducer. Place the foundation bolts at the center of
holes.
The installation of main reducer and under bed is the core of installation of VRM and
the installation of other parts must take the center of reducer as the datum. So the
position of main reducer must be determined precisely, and its center must be
coincident with the center of the foundation with a deviation not more than ±5.0mm.
During installation of the under bed, put a group of packing iron beside each
foundation bolt. The number of packing iron of each group should not be more than 4,
and among them a pair is inclined packing iron. The length of the inclined packing
iron extended out of the under bed is 30mm. A close coincidence should be made
between the packing iron and the packing iron, and as well as between the packing
iron and the under bed. The foundation bolt hangs down naturally in the hole without
any contact with hole wall or hole bottom. The bolt should extend out of the nut by
2-3 bolt threads.
Before grouting, water the hole wall of foundation bolt, and confirm the position and
level of the under bed once again. During grouting, compact the concrete and avoid
the inclination of the bolt. After grouting, cure them with water till the strength of
concrete reaches 75% of the given strength.
When tightening the foundation bolt, tighten them with the same force. When
adjusting the level of the under bed, adjust it with packing iron in order that the
levelness reaches 0.1mm/m; the way of tighten or loosen foundation bolt is not
allowed. The fixation of the packing iron with the packing iron, or the packing iron
with the under bed should be made by the point welding.
Before connection of the main reducer with the under bed, install locating pin at first.
Then install connection bolt. Tighten all of bolts with the same force.
For installation of the main motor, firstly, connect the main motor and the base plate
by connection bolt, and place a packing piece about 2.0mm between them. Put a
group of packing iron beside each foundation bolt. Inside of the hole, the foundation
Page 10 of 43
During installation of the main motor and the main reducer, the radial runout of the
couplings should not be more than 0.08mm, and the axial runout should not be more
than 0.08mm. The space between the two couplings is 8-10mm (For the details, see
Reducer Installation Guide).
During installation of the lower casing, take the center line of the outlet axle of the
reducer as the datum. The deviation between the center lines of the lower casing and
the outlet axle should not be more than ±2.0mm.
Install the supports on the correspondent foundation according to the Mark on it.
Determine the position of two supports against the drawing. Put the foundation bolts
in the right position.
(3) Place the grinding table on the reducer with care, make alignment and install the
locating pin. Tighten the joint bolt with even force. Adjust the lower casing in order to
make the deviation of the radial clearance of the grinding table and the air ring be not
more than ±2.0mm (check the deviation from 8 symmetrical points around the
grinding table). In the meantime, check whether the axial distance between the upper
flange of the lower casing and the end face of the grinding table can meet the
requirement of installation. The axial distance between the upper flange of the lower
casing of HRM2200A VRM and the end face of the grinding table is designed as
110+5mm, and the adjustment can be made by using packing iron.

The weld seams should be tight during the pipeline making. After completion, blow
every section of the pipeline with compressed air repeatedly at first, and then clean
them with dilute hydrochloric acid and at last wash them with cleaning oil. Place the
main reducer onto the return-oil pipeline of the lubrication station with an inclination
≥3/100 in order to ensure a smooth oil return. The connection flanges on the
lubricating pipeline and the pipe joints on the hydraulic pipeline should be sealed
tightly without leakage. The connection of the hydraulic pipeline with the main oil
Page 12 of 43
Finally, perform a secondary grout for the whole foundation of equipment (water
drainage pipe should be pre-laid inside two supports of the lower casing).
The installation should be performed on site as per the hydraulic principle drawing
and the installation illustration.
2.4.1 Pre-installation (preparation of pipes)
a. The hydraulic pipeline of HRM2200A series VRM is usually made of seamless
steel pipe and high-pressure rubber hose. The outer diameter of seamless steel pipe is
φ18mm and the thickness of pipe wall is 3-4 mm (prepared by Users). High-pressure
hose, pipe joint and seal ring are supplied by the manufacturer.
b. At first, determine the location of the hydraulic station according to the technology
design and the conditions on site.
c. The weld of pipe, pipe joint and main pipe should be flat and direct and the weld
seam should even and smooth. There are not gas holes or cracks resulting in leakage
of pressure of the pipeline. Users may carry out pressure test if they can.
e. Acid washing
In general, carry out the work according to the following sequence:
Degreasing → water wash →acid wash → neutralization → water wash → dry
with dry air → paint hydraulic oil.

3.1 Introduction
The HRM2200A VRM will have a test run and commissioning after having been
erected, which includes two tasks: no load test run and load test run. The
purposes of the test run are: firstly, to examine the inherent quality of VRM and
to remove hidden troubles of the equipment; and secondly, to examine the
erection quality of the VRM, to train the operating personnel on site, and make
the VRM appropriate to the materials to deal with; and at last, to reach or
exceed the economic and technical indexes set in the contract.
During test run and commissioning period, there would be various problems.
Perhaps, it’s inevitable. Our opinion is that in this period, we should find
problems and hidden troubles as fully as possible and do our best to solve them
and that is an important guarantee for VRM safely operating for a long time in
future. So, whatever problems arise in this period, we shouldn’t be impatient or
act rashly. What we should do is to gather engineers and technicians to analyze
carefully the problems and to work out the available resolving plans, and finally
to solve these problems or hidden troubles.
While carrying out the test run and commissioning, we should prepare all
necessary tools and materials in advance, such as spanners, three major electrical
tools, materials for cleaning work, lubricant oil (grease) and all kinds of forms
and tables for noting down the data of the test run, etc. The surroundings of the
VRM and the workshop should be kept clean and tidy. The test run on site should
be cleansed. The inside of the VRM, especially the dark positions and positions
difficult to inspect, should be examined seriously without any carelessness. There
should not be any inutile things in it, such as bar, brick, cement block, wood, bolt,
spanner or cotton yarn etc.
Please read the manual carefully and perform the test run in sequence. If the last
test run isn’t accepted with success, the next one shouldn’t be carried out.
The separator motor should run alone for 2 hours. During this period, adjust the
motor speed to200, 400, 600, 800 and 1000r/min respectively, and make the
motor run at each of these speeds for 20 minutes. The requirement is that the
motor runs steadily without abnormal sound and that its frequency speeder
presents flexibility and reliability in speed conversation.
Turn manually the belt pulley at the input of the reducer to make the separator’s
Page 15 of 43
Adjust the motor speed to zero start the motor. Then regulate gradually the motor
speed to 200, 400, 600, 800 and 1000r/min respectively and make the motor run
at each of these speeds for 30 minutes. After this, adjust the motor to the speed of
700r/min for running 8 hours, in which there are at lest 4 hours for continuous
running. Note down the motor currents corresponding to different rotating speeds.
The requirements are that the rotor runs smoothly without abnormal sound and
the motor has normal heat radiation.

Roller Lifting and Lock-in of main oil cylinder (in the feeding and
breakdown states)
When the power is on, put electromagnetic valve 18 in the open state, and reverse
the reversing valve15. The oil through the oil pump7, one-way valve8, filter9,
reversing valve15, and electromagnetic valves19.2、19.3 is supplied for the lower
cavity of the main operating oil cylinder. On the other hand, the oil of the upper
cavity of the main operating oil cylinder flows through stop valves 20.3、20.4,
electromagnetic valve19.1, electromagnetic 18 and returns to the oil box. At this
time, the rollers are lifted by the oil cylinder. When one oil cylinder is lifted to the
set height, touch the position limiting switch, and stop the corresponding
electromagnetic valve (one of the electromagnetic valves19.2、19.3), when the
power is on. However, when the power of two electromagnetic valves is on, the
oil pump will stop, and the rollers are hanged on the grinding table. If the power
of electromagnetic valves19.2、19.3 is off and these valves are in open states, the
roller will fall on the grinding table through the sole weight.
Roller Lifting for Auxiliary Oil Cylinder (turn rollers to repair /pour the oil into
the upper cavity.)
Close the stop valves20.3、20.4, one of stop valves20.1、20.2 and one corresponding
stop valve from 20.5 to 20.6. When the power of electromagnetic valves19.2、19.3
is on, put these valves in the close state. The oil through the oil pump7, one-way
valve8, filter9, reversing 15, one-way valve16, electromagnetic valve19.1, stop
valves20.1、20.2 is supplied for the upper cavity of auxiliary maintenance oil
cylinder. On the other hand, the oil of the lower cavity of auxiliary maintenance oil
cylinder flows through stop valves20.5、20.6, reversing valve15 and returns to the
oil box. One of two rollers is lifted. When the roller reaches the maintenance
position, close manually the corresponding stop valve and stop the oil pump. When
lift another roller, do the same job according to the above steps.
Auxiliary Oil Cylinder Turn Rollers into Mill (pour the oil into the lower cavity)
Close the stop valves20.3、20.4, and open one of stop valves20.1、20.2 and a
corresponding stop valve from 20.5 to 20.6. When the power of electromagnetic
valves19.2、19.3 is on, put these valves in the close state. When the power is on,
reverse the reversing valve15and put electromagnetic valve18 in the open state. The
oil through the oil pump7, one-way valve8, filter9, reversing15, and stop valves20.5、
20.6 is supplied for the lower cavity of auxiliary maintenance oil cylinder. On the
other hand, the oil of the upper cavity of auxiliary maintenance oil cylinder flows
through stop valves20.1、20.2, electromagnetic valve19.1, electromagnetic valve18
and then returns to the oil box.

Main motor
First, check the main motor whether its insulation conditions meet the requirements or
not.
Press-release the main motor to know its rotating direction and wire the main motor in
the correct rotating direction.
The main motor should run alone for 4 hours, in which at least 2 hours are continuous
running. The main motor should run smoothly without abnormal any phenomena.
The lubricating device consists of the thin oil station, instrument board and electric
control panel. The low pressure oil supply system consists of the low pressure pump
device, twin-cylinder net filter, pipe cooler, back valve, safety valve, electromagnetic
filter valve of oil return, other valves and pipes. The oil supply of the high pressure
pump consists of the high pressure plunger pump, twin-cylinder net filter, overflow
valve, one-way valve and flow regulating valve. The thin oil station is complete.
In the normal operation for the thin oil station, one low pressure is running, another is
standby. The oil station has such functions as filtering, heating, cooling, safe,
self-controlling and alarm.
Working principle:
When the oil station operates, the operating pressure of the low pressure system is
adjusted and determined by safety valves. The maximum operating pressure is
0.4Mpa. The minimum operating pressure is 0.15Mpa. When the operating pressure is
below 0.12Mpa, start standby pump while sound the acoustooptic alarm; When the oil
pressure raise to 0.3Mpa, the standby pump automatically stop; when below 0.1Mpa,
the main motor stop and alarm; when over 0.5Mpa, sound the acoustooptic alarm. The
oil supply of low pressure reaches 0.1Mpa, start the high pressure pump; The oil
supply outlet pressure of high pressure reaches 10Mpa, start the main motor; When
the oil supply inlet pressure of high pressure 20Mpa, sound the acoustooptic alarm.
The main motor stops. The oil supply system of low pressure continues to operate,
Page 18 of 43
Before starting the oil station, the electric heater automatically open when the oil
temperature of the oil box is below 25℃. When the oil temperature is 38℃, the
electric heater automatically close, start the low pressure pump. In the normal
operation for the main motor, when the oil temperature is 38 ℃, sound the
acoustooptic alarm (automatically close the cooling water pipe switch of the thin oil
station). When oil supply outlet temperature of low pressure is over 43℃, sound the
acoustooptic alarm (automatically open the water pipe switch of the oil cooler). In the
5 bearing measuring joints, propelling force 1, 2, 3, 4 is over 65℃, the main motor
stops and alarms. The input temperature is over 70℃, the main motor stops and
alarms.
After starting low pressure pump, make the lubricating oil circulate 3~5 minutes in
the oil supply system of low pressure, and then lubricate the reducer.
After the main motor stops 5 minutes, allow the stop operation of the thin oil station.
The heater is warping pipe, no contacting and carbonating. The heater structure is
easy to exchange. There are 2 coarse and fine twin-cylinder net filter in the oil station.
One cylinder is operating. Another is standby, which are controlled by the pressure
differential signal transmitter. When the pressure difference (0.1Mpa) exceeds the set
valve, sound the acoustooptic alarm and change the operating cylinder by the manual
change over valve without stop.
The electromegnatic filter for oil return can absorb iron scrap in the oil to ensure oil
cleanliness.
The oil level signal transmitter is installed on the oil box to control the maximum and
minimum operating oil level. When the oil is in the maximum and minimum level,
give the alarm signal; fill oil by hand in the minimum oil level.
Before connecting the pipe, the pipe should be rust remove, neutralization and warm
water wash according to the acid cleaning requirement. After drying, connect oil pipe
(see technical requirements 3 for the general drawing of the oil station).
After installing on site, the lubricating oil should be filtered, fill the oil box, and then
carry on test run.
The oil level of the oil level signal transmitter should be fixed according to the set
Page 19 of 43
Before starting the oil pump motor, the pressure-release methods should be firstly
used to observe the start direction of high and low pressure oil pump. The rotating
direction should be the marked arrowhead direction for the pump. The twin-cylinder
filter handle is moved to the operating position of a filter core.
The pressure set value and pressure interlocking action and signal should be in line
with the set value.
After finishing the system test run, all the adjusting parameters of oil temperature, oil
pressure and oil level and interlocking should be line with the set value; all the pipes
and equipment should have no oil leakage phenomena and abnormal vibration.
Operate 2 hours under the operating pressure, the pump should have no oil leakage
phenomena and abnormal noisy and vibration.
Main reducer
Start the lubricating oil to supply the main reducer oil with lubricating oil. Regulate
the oil supply pressure and temperature for starting the main reducer. See Operation
and Maintenance Manual for the MLX80 VRM Reducer Gear Box. Make the main
reducer run at least 4 hours continuously.
Under the condition of grinding rollers lifted, start up the motor of the lubricating oil
station to supply oil to the reducer, and then make the grinding table one rotation by
hand in the right rotating direction at the coupling, and pay attention to check whether
metal friction noisy has abnormal phenomenon or not.
Install the coupling between the main motor and main reducer, check whether 2
rollers have been lifted. Start the lubricating oil station and start up the main motor.
The main reducer will drive the grinding table rotating in the clockwise direction. The
main reducer should run in no-load conditions for 24 hours, in which there should be
at least 12 continuously running hours. The running should be smooth, having no
abnormal noisy, and there is no oil leakage in the reducer, lubricating oil station and
oil pipeline. Please note down such parameters as oil supply pressure, oil supply
temperature, main motor current and bush temperature every hour. Attention! Don’t
stop the lubricating oil station immediately after stopping the main motor, keep it
running continuously for 10 minutes. If the main reducer will be restarted in a short
time, it isn’t necessary to stop the lubricating oil station.
Before the test run of VRM, please check with care whether the lubricating oil
volume, test and control instruments at lubricating points are normal, the two grinding
rollers are lifted and left from grinding table, and whether all connecting bolts are
Page 20 of 43
Start up the oil pump motor in lubrication station. Adjust the oil pressure and
temperature in order to start the VRM. Start the motor of the separator and adjust it to
700r/min. if everything is normal, start the main motor, and the main reducer drives
the grinding table and rotates together with it.
The drive unit and separator should run together for 24 hours, of which at least 12
hours is continuous operating time. After the separator runs alone 6 hours during 24
hours at 700r/min, adjust the motor speed respectively adjust to 200, 400, 800,
1000r/min and make it operate at each of these speeds for 3 hours.
In the whole test run process, the VRM should operate stably and not create any
abnormal noisy. The heating parts like motors and bearings shouldn’t be in
over-temperature conditions. Make an operation record every two hours.
The VRM commissioning should be performed after the test run of equipment in the
VRM and joint equipment in the system equipment are completed. The stable running
of the VRM system must be ensured during the first stage of commissioning, it isn’t
necessary to concentrate on economical and technical targets like output with
intensive attention, what to do is keep the equipment in a stable operating condition,
and then adjust gradually the equipment and technological parameters in order to
make the VRM and system in the best operating state.
Operators should carefully read HRM2200A VRM Operation Manual and relevant
technical documents and data before VRM commissioning operates, and work out a
feasible proposal according to the practical conditions.
Page 21 of 43
During the whole commissioning process of VRM, the equipment should operate
stably, no having abnormal noisy; all parts of equipment should not have
over-temperature phenomena. Then the VRM operates with full load.
Attention: Before each feeding, we should carefully check whether all connecting
bolts are well screwed, and enter the mill for checking whether the grinding rollers,
the grinding table and the rotor of separator are in normal conditions; and analyze
carefully the operating record of the last commissioning, and work out the operating
scheme for the following commissioning.
It’s necessary to explain that the feed volume of VRM commissioning is estimated as
per practical experience. It could be properly increased or decreased in the practical
operation due to the different cement raw meal qualities and varieties, to ensure the
electrical current value of main motor approximate to its rated current percent. For
example, during the test run of VRM with 60 percent load, or with a feed volume of
55. 0 t/h, if the electric current of the main motor in practical operation is below 60%
of its rated current, the feed volume should be increased properly; if the electric
current of main motor in practical operation is above 60% of its rated current, the feed
quantity should be properly. Moreover, during the commissioning of each stage for
VRM, each commissioning must reach the required operating time for beginning the
following commissioning. But it doesn’t mean that the following commissioning must
begin as soon as the operating time of the commissioning is reached. Each factory
could prolong the operating time of each commissioning stage according to the
practical conditions like production management and personnel training etc.
Page 22 of 43
The VRM can be used for grinding, drying, separating and pneumatic conveying. All
the parts must mutually be coordinated to form the organic integration and play the
full pole of the VRM. In addition, when operating, the following questions shall be
paid attention to.
The VRM performs the method of grinding in material bed, so stable material bed is
very important to the safe operation of the VRM. Under the normal circumstances, the
thickness of the material bed is about 30~60mm. At the moment, the operation of the
mill is smooth, the mill sound is soft, the external circulation of the material basically
constant. In there is no external circulation, small impurity (iron blocks, gangue) is
only discharged at the material discharge. If the material bed is too thin, the vibration
of the mill is decreased due to the big load. When serious, the mill shall result in the
violent vibration.
Material balance
The operation of VRM can efficiently be directed by analyzing questions at the angle
of the material balance. The feed volume, the grinding capacity, the conveying
volume of the air current, the discharge volume or the external circulation volume
should be in the balance conditions in the process of VRM. Under the circumstances
of the constant feed volume, if the grinding capacity is insufficient, a great deal
material shall be discharged. At the moment the working pressure of the high pressure
oil station shall be properly added to strength the grinding capacity or the feeding
Page 23 of 43
If the VRM runs with coal material for the first time, test run for the VRM must be
carried out in advance.
Page 24 of 43
When the VRM is in the stable running conditions, it need not specific operation and
can run for long time. Only when some process or equipment parameters change need
the relative process or equipment parameters to be appropriately adjusted in order to
adapt to the changed process or equipment parameters and keep the VRM steadily and
continuously running. Instrument and meters in the control room can help productive
personnel accurately understand such process and equipment parameters as output,
temperature, pressure, electric current, etc. In addition, productive personnel need

The shut down of VRM is divided into normal shut down and emergency shut down.
The normal shut down carry out under the organized and planned conditions, but the
emergency shut down under the unexpected conditions when the mill normally
operates, for example, mechanical trouble, iron pieces enter into the mill, etc. So the
emergency shut down means is adopted to avoid great greater damage.
Attention: after the main motor stops, don’t stop the lubricating oil station operating at
once and let it continuously running for about ten minutes. If we want to restart the
VRM in a short time, the running of the lubricating oil station needn’t stopping.
Page 26 of 43
If operation and maintenance are correct, the VRM should not have any problems and
failures, however, if it has problems, we should immediately discover and solve it.

As shown in the drawing, the belt conveyor transports the raw materials proportioned
by the computer. After being de-ironed by the ironing remover, the materials enter the
external circulating elevator for lifting, fed by the air lock feeder on the rotating
grinding table for VRM while the hot gas of the kiln inlet is drawn inside the mill.
The raw materials on the grinding table move to the edge of the grinding table under
the influence of centrifugal force, being ground by grinding rollers into fine powder.

The designed air volume of HRM2200A mill is 220000m3/h, in order to convey and
dry the material. During the operation, if the change of air volume is relatively big,
must adjust in time.
(1) The excessively small air volume may cause the following problems:
a. The separator can’t discharge the finished product in time, and the circulating
volume inside the mill will be bigger, the load of mill will be so heavy, and
the size of product will be too fine.
b. The speed at the air ring zone is low, and the material discharging volume is
increasing.
(2) If air volume is too big, there appears the following conditions:
a. The size of product becomes coarse.
b. The pressure difference of VRM is increasing.
c. The consumption increment of main motor.

4.1Instruction
The maintenance of VRM is the key link to ensure the efficient and safe operation of
the equipment. It should be attached very great importance. In operation, the
equipment might cause some abnormal phenomena due to the change of the
conditions or the other causes such as the looseness of foundation bolts and other
fastening pieces, the loss of lubricating oil and the wear of parts and dirt. These
should worsen the equipment condition. If these problems are not handled in time, the
wear and the serious malfunction of VRM should occur, thus decreasing the service
life of the equipment.
HRM2200A VRM is the drying and grinding equipment with integrated technologies,
including mechanism, electricity, hydraulics, materials, thermal engineering and so on.
In this case, the maintenance of HRM2200A VRM is more important than other
cement equipment, so the more perfect systems of operation and maintenance, the
three-level circuit inspections and the personal responsibility should be made out to
stop thoroughly the phenomena of oil leakage.
4.2.1Circuit Inspection
The whole mill should routinely be inspected to avoid the emergency stop due to the
improper maintenance and lubrication. The wearing parts may be replaced in time in
the circuit inspection to ensure the running rate of the equipment.
Normal Inspection
4.2.1.1Daily Inspection
a. Observe the abnormal noise and the vibration, and check the looseness of the
foundation bolt, and the oil levels of the mill and the reducer.
b. Check the mill and the oil pump for the oil pressure, the temperature and the
cooling water.
c. Daily check the lubricating points of the moving parts of the separator and the air
lock feeder, and add oil according to the set lubricating oil system.
d. Check the looseness of the foundation and joint bolts of the main equipment.

Repair
The roller tyre and bearings on grinding rollers are wearing parts. When the roller
tyre wears out, it can be turned from inside to outside for continuous use. If the
reverse side is worn again and that results in a great decrease in VRM output,
stop the VRM to change them by new ones.
c. Get rid of the pressure of the working cylinder in order that the assembly of
grinding rollers falls on the grinding table by its own weight.
d. Demount the connecting axis pins between the moving arms and swing arms.
e. Connect the inspecting cylinder with the swing arms by pins and make the
hydraulic pressure system in repairing state. Start the motor of the hydraulic
pump, and remove the grinding rollers out of the machine. When the assembly of
grinding roller is in a vertical state, close and fixes immediately the high-pressure
ball core cut-off valve located on the high-pressure oil pipeline. After remove
studs and pressing rings used for fixation, the roller tyres can be demounted
easily (In case of replacement of bearings, the assembly of grinding rollers
should be removed from the swing arms and carried to the machine repair shop
for reparation). Then install new roller tyres or turn roller tyres from inside to
outside. During installation, the parts should be cleaned up in advance; and after
installation, it’s necessary to check the contacting faces for their contact by a
feeler gauge. When the replacement is over, the assembly of the grinding rollers
can be placed back into VRM according to the procedure opposite to that for
roller tyres removing.

Repair
a. Remove the assembly of the grinding rollers from VRM according to the
procedure used for repairing of the roller tyres or bearings.
b. Open the inspecting door of the lower casing to check or replace the scraper
blades of the scraper device.
c. Loosen the bolts on the pressing rings and on the gland of the grinding table
liners, and remove the glands. Pry up the old liners with a crowbar and hoist it out
of VRM, then install the new ones. During installation, we should do our best to
keep the liners laid smooth each other. Each pressing ring should well press its
corresponding liner without any loose. The gaps between the liners should be
filled with asbestos packing. Filling the gals with metal is forbidden.
Repair
In this part, how to remove the reducer from the lower section of VRM will be
described:
a. Be sure to stop VRM and all of the other equipment of the grinding system.
b. Take off the connecting bolts and positioning pins of the grinding table
(HRM22-04).
c. Weld an eye ring at the upper flange (where the manhole is.) of the upper
casing (remove the grinding rollers from VRM shouldn’t be influenced).
d. Take off the connecting bolts of the motor and the coupling, and as well as the
lubricating oil supplying and returning ducts, then remove apart the motor and the
coupling.
f. Take off the connecting bolts of the reducer, and remove away the reducer from
the lower section of VRM for reparation in the machine repair shop.
