MVR vertical roller mill with planetary gearbox

Depending on the abrasiveness of the material to be ground and areas to be protected, different wear materials are used on our vertical roller mills. Alloy cast iron as per DIN 1695, hardfaced cast iron or composite materials with high-chromium inserts in ductile base materials: the grinding elements designed by Pfeiffer are made of high-quality materials ensuring a long lifetime. The housings and other mill components, too, are protected against wear with highly wear-resistant steel plates or hardfaced composite plates. Components which are specifically exposed to wear like gas outlet ducts have additional ceramic liners. All this is for optimum protection and short maintenance shutdown.

The highest wear occurs on the wear parts of the grinding elements as is the case with any type of vertical mill. Therefore, ease of replacement and regeneration is a major feature of the mill. The MVR mill has a modern hydraulic system used in operation and for maintenance alike. With this new type of roller suspension, the rollers can be swung out of the mill in a controlled way – for ease of replacing the one-part grinding roller tires. The segmented wear parts of the grinding table are replaced, using a lifting device and the maintenance drive. Moreover, the rollers can be swung out separately. Hence grinding operation can be continued while taking out two opposite rollers at a time. The parts concerned can be regenerated both inside the mill and outside. Forget about downtime and maintenance problems! With active redundancy and easy maintenance you are up to date!
