Better dosing to the coal mill

All FLSmidth Pfister

1 Development

Holcim Spain started a project at their Carboneras plant (Fig. 1) to improve the pet-coke grinding performance in order to obtain safe and reliable coal mill feeding and to improve the coal mill grinding performance. The start-up of this installation took place in 2010. With rotor weighfeeder Pfister® TRW-K FLSmidth Pfister GmbH from Augsburg, Germany supplied the dosing equipment to the coal mill.

The project included the replacement of the old raw coal feeding equipment to the mill, which consisted of an apron feeder, for the new design of rotor weighfeeder Pfister® TRW-K. This...

Production cost saving by using coarse alternative fuels

Many cement plants in Europe began burning alternative fuels in the main burner many years ago. Because the fuel must be transported pneumatically into the main burner and the particle residence time in the kiln at the main burner is quite short, the fuel must be fully prepared. Independent of the feeding, a gravimetric dosing device is mandatory and its accuracy should increase with the substitution rate. ...
