Welding procedures for roller tires and grinding plate
 To be performed by experienced welding company
 Needs specialised equipment (automatic welding head, large welding gear)
 Will be done inside the mill with all parts installed
 The table is turned by means of an auxiliary drive for welding the grinding plate
 The tires are turned by the table or by separate drives for each roller
 It is critical for both procedures to set-up the we lding ground properly, not to
damage bearings and gears.
 Generally, when welding the grinding plate or tires check for
 Grinding plate set tight and all clamping bolts torqued
 Tires set tight and all clamping bolts torqued
 Tires are not broken or cracked in any spot
 Tires and grinding plate should be built back up to the original profile
 App. 8 to 12 re-weldings are possible
 Welding in an external workshop is also possible after dismounting all grinding parts

Guide vanes and rotor blades
The guide vanes are not adjustable.
Exchange of rotor blades
The guide vane position has a direct impact on the product quality and classifier
If visual inspection reveals wear / tear on rotor
efficiency
blades – exchange is necessary
Static guide vanes and rotor blades need to be inspected frequently for wear, tear
and position since these parts are directly responsible for product fineness and
1. Unbolt and extract locking rings (upper/lower quality
end of blades at inside)
2. Pull blades out of guide-slots
Illustration
3. Insert new blades into guide slots
4. Bolt down locking rings and secure bolts by
tack welding
Exchange blades in pairs 180 degrees

opposite of each other OR re-balance rotor
upon first start

Hydropneumatic spring system – without counter pressure HSLM with counter OR not counter pressure
1. In coal mills in normal case hydraulic system HSLM with counter

pressure is not necessary. But it can be an option.
2. Hydraulic system HSLM with counter pressure is necessary if part load
operating at coal mills is a customer‘s requirement.
(frequently power plants and steel plants are aware to operate in part
load)
