MILLS OPERATION

Bowl Mill Operational Features

Pre Start
Drive coupling must be properly aligned and lubricated All areas requiring lubrication should be checked for proper lubricant and levels Motor be bumped to check for proper rotation. Setting of roll to ring clearance
Run the pulveriser with all rolls elevated by the journal stop bolts Ensure the rolls are not contacting the rotating ring Lower one roll at a time by backing out the jack bolt until the roll begin to touch the rotating ring

 Raise the roll to just clear the bowl by approximately two flats on the jack screw bolt head (Ring to roll clearance - About 3 mm) Repeat the same for all rolls Carry out this each time when rolls and/or ring are replaced

Spring settings
Springs must be adjusted for proper compression and position Compression must be set with a hydraulic lock device Tightly lock the lock nuts holding spring compression so that they will not move during operation

 Position the spring so that there is slight clearance between spring seat and journal head (0.5 mm) Periodically check spring setting for proper compression on each spring All the three springs must be equally loaded If they are vastly different unequal loads are applied to mill drive shaft causing excessive bending with possible damage to vertical shaft worm gear drive For extended period of low load operation special settings are required

 CLASSIFIER VANE SETTINGS.

The vanes should be fully closed Measure each vane lever from a fixed point to ensure that all vanes will be in same position when set the same number on the classifier vane scale. After checking the vane position the pointer is set at the middle of the scale for initial start up Repeat this procedure after each major overhaul.

 LUB OIL
Check the oil level and temperature in the gear case regularly. Check oil level in the journal during shut down of the mill. While checking the oil on dip stick look for contaminants in the oil. Collect oil sample once in a month and send it for analysis. If the oil is contaminated drain oil from gear case Flush with new oil/solvent Refill the oil.
