There are different types of roller mills used in thermal power plants to grind and pulverize coal. These mills play a crucial role in the overall operation of the power plant by providing a uniform and fine coal powder for efficient combustion. Here are a few types of roller mills commonly used in thermal power plants:
Vertical Roller Mill (VRM): This type of mill uses a vertical cylindrical roller to grind coal, which is fed through a central coal chute and falls onto a rotating table. The coal is ground between the table and rollers, and the powdered coal is then transported through the air stream to the furnace for combustion.
Bowl Mill: In a bowl mill, coal is pulverized by rotating grinding rolls that roll over a stationary bowl-shaped grinding ring. The coal is fed into the center of the rotating table, and the grinding rolls crush and grind the coal against the bowl surface. The pulverized coal is then conveyed to the furnace for combustion.
Ball and Race Mill: This type of mill consists of rotating upper and lower rings, with large balls circulating in between. The coal is fed through a central coal inlet, and the balls crush and grind the coal against the lower ring. The pulverized coal is then transported to the furnace for combustion.
Hammer Mill: A hammer mill consists of a rotating drum with hammers that strike and grind the coal. The coal is fed into the mill through a feed chute and is pulverized by the rotating hammers. The pulverized coal is then blown into the furnace for combustion.
Each type of roller mill has its own advantages and disadvantages, depending on factors such as coal quality, desired fineness, and plant layout. The choice of roller mill type is typically based on the specific requirements and conditions of the thermal power plant.
