Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for improving the productivity of grinding plants, wherein, after the optimum wear geometry of the grinding units has been reached by conventional operation of the grinding plant, the optimum wear geometry is preserved by applying a thin wear protection layer to the surface of the grinding units.
Claims12
A method for improving the productivity of vertical roller grinding plants having grinding rollers and grinding plates as grinding units, the method comprising the steps of:
- operating a vertical roller grinding plant until an optimum wear geometry of grinding units of the vertical roller grinding plant is present, wherein the presence of the optimum wear geometry is determined by measuring that specific energy required to operate the grinding plant reaches a minimum for a constant throughput, wherein the presence of the optimum wear geometry is monitored by continuously measuring and recording an energy demand during grinding operation, and
- preserving the optimum wear geometry by applying a thin wear protection layer to a surface of the grinding units.
