Abstract
A shelf for protecting the inner surface of a vertical shell of a pulverizer against wear. It is partially replaceable. The shell accommodates a screw shaft and is filled with a pulverizing medium and a material to be pulverized. At least one of them is magnetizable. The shelf is made up of vertical and circumferential ribs and mounted in the shell. It is divided both vertically and circumferentially into a plurality of blocks that are coupled together by bolts and nuts. Magnets are provided in the spaces defined by the ribs. By turning the screw shaft, the pulverizing medium is pushed radially outward and partially trapped in the above spaces, thus forming a wear protective lining. When any of the ribs is worn, only the block that includes this rib is replaced with a new one.
Claims8
A pulverizing apparatus, comprising:
- a vertical shell for accommodating a material to be pulverized and a pulverizing medium, said vertical shell having an inner surface;
- a vertical screw shaft provided in said vertical shell;
- and
- a wear protective means for protecting said vertical shell from wear, said wear protective means comprising a lattice-shaped shelf mounted on said inner surface of said vertical shell having a plurality of vertical and circumferential ribs, and said shelf being divided vertically and circumferentially into a plurality of blocks that are coupled together so that each of said blocks can be individually replaced with a new block, whereby pulverizing medium trapped in spaces defined by said ribs forms a lining layer covering said inner surface of said vertical shell.
A pulverizing apparatus, comprising:
- a vertical shell for accommodating a material to be pulverized and a pulverizing medium, said vertical shell having an inner surface;
- a vertical screw shaft provided in said vertical shell;
- and
- a lattice shelf mounted on said inner surface of said vertical shell having a plurality of vertical and circumferential ribs, said shelf being divided vertically and circumferentially into a plurality of blocks that are coupled together so that each of said blocks can be individually replaced with a new block.
