PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Kashikar roller mills operate on the simple and effective grinding principle of size reduction from the action of rolls running inside a stationary ring.
Crude material to be pulverised is fed to the mill from the storage bin through an automatic roll feeder. Within the grinding chamber, ploughs set in front of each roller lift and project the material in a continuous stream between the rollers and the pulverizing ring.
The roller arms are pivoted at their upper ends and carried by a spider secured to the centre shaft. As the entire assembly rotates, the rollers swing outwards due to centrifugal force and crush the material against the stationary ring.
Air enters the mill through a number of tangential ports located around the base of the grinding chamber and sweeps the fine and medium fine fraction into the classifier directly above.
The classifier separator the ground material and continuously returns the oversize to the grinding chamber for further reduction.
All sized material is carried in the air stream to the cyclone collector, where the air and product are separated and the material discharged. Clean air is recirculated to the mill through the system fan in closed circuit.
