The structures and important parts

The structures design of Raymond grinding mill

Raymond mill actually can be divided into two types of machines processing different materials. One is called Raymond vertical mill and the other is Raymond roller mill. The difference between them is that vertical grinding mill belongs to high-speed air swept swing hammer mill while the other belongs to air-swept vertical ring-roll mill.

The main structures:

The main body consists of a frame, an air inlet volute, scraper blade, star rack, a grinding roller, a grinding ring, air classifier, etc.

Important parts and their functions

Auxiliary speed reducer

It is mainly used to reduce the speed of the rotating motor.

Grinding roller (grinding ring)

There are two grinding rollers directly contacting with material for grinding process.

Draught fan

The function of the part is to below and discharge the fine powder

Separator

It is used to classy the ground powder, and greatly influences the final powder granularity.

Raymond mill plant working principle

low consumption and environmental protection

Step 1The jaw crusher crushes large pieces of material into smaller particles within the feed size of the Raymond roller mill. The crushed materials, after passing through the bucket elevator, are sent into the storage hopper and vibrating feeder for being evenly and continuously ground in the main crushing chamber.

Step 2The grinding roller constantly presses the grinding ring under the centrifugal force, which can grind the material scooped up by the scraper blade into powder.

Step 3Then the power through wind pipe enters the powder collector for separating. The desired final powder product will be discharged from the discharging port while there would be another grinding for the undsired powder until it meets standard.

Step 4During the discharging process, it will be accompanied by fine dust which will be collected by the dust collector.

Why Fote Raymond mill is your best choice?

Upgrade important parts on the basis on traditional design

shockproof device design

According to the original shockproof capacity of the Raymond mill equipment and its surrounding shake parameters, Fote experts upgraded a new shockproof material. During the searching process, they made the device by means of dynamic analysis of diaphragm-designed structures and theory of structural dynamics. What’s more, it is a good solution to the problem of over-larger vibration only with a smaller power.

Host design

They adopt the integral base of the host which makes the machine structure solid, reliable and strong seismic resistant. The design perfectly avoids the cracking or damage of components caused by long-time vibration and fatigue of framework and air return box.

Upgrade on grinding roller

The grinding roller and its shaft can complement each other, which means that the roller cannot only revolve but rotating. The part is engineered to improve the machine’s efficiency and durability even under greater grinding force and higher operating speed.

Unique design of dust collector

A full pulse dust collector to collect the finished powder products, running under negative pressure without dust leakage, and more environmentally friendly.

What are the similarities and differences between Raymond mill and ball mill?

For the mineral processing, the most common grinding machines are Raymond mill and ball mill. So, what are the similarities and differences between the two?

Similarities

They are both the main equipment for grinding powder.

Both can be used for dry processing.

Both can be used for grinding non-metallic minerals.

The differences between Raymond and ball mill

The differences between Raymond and ball mill

Processing different materials

Raymond mill is suitable for processing non-metallic materials that are not too hard, such as limestone, gypsum, calcium carbonate; ball mills can process metal materials and hard materials such as potassium feldspar, quartz, metal ores, etc.

Processing method

Raymond mill can only be used for dry grinding, which has a requirement of the material on the humidity; the ball mill can be used for wet grinding, so there is no limit to the materials on the humidity.

Different Output

The maximum output of Raymond mill is only 20-30 tons per hour, while the output of ball mill is between 0.65 tons and 615 tons per hour.

Discharging granularity

Raymond mill has a uniform particle size and does not need other equipment for screening; ball mill has an uneven discharge, so the finished powder needs to be sieved by powder separator.

Grinding fineness

Raymond mill can process a finer powder and produce even product with the fineness 800 mesh while the ball mill can only reach 400 mesh.

Matters need attention when using a Raymond mill

4 points to notice when using a Raymond mill

1. 1During the working process, Raymond mill should be supervised by professionals, and the operators should be trained systematically before production operations. And Raymond mill should work under its maximum load in grinding.
2. 2According to the feeding characteristics, adjust the discharge control of the machine to meet the production requirements before starting the machine.
3. 3Timely maintenance. The machine should be inspected and maintained regularly to ensure that all parts of the machine work normally.
4. 4If the machine makes abnormal noise while working or the load of the machine suddenly increases, stop and check immediately to eliminate the fault to avoid the secondary damage. Before turning on the machine again, the residual material inside the mill must be taken out to avoid excessive current affecting startup.
5. 5Shutdown sequentially. When the grinding is finished, stop feeding and let the main engine continue to run firstly. Next, stop the host engine and the analyzer motor after the material in the host is completely discharged. Finally, stop the fan after the fan blows away the powder remaining in the host.
