Over the last few decades, the air-swept vertical roller mill has become the standard solution for coal grinding installations. The ATOX grinds and dries all types of coal and is highly economical in terms of specific energy consumption. The ATOX coal mill is suited for various installation types, whether inert or non-inert and direct or indirect firing systems. An inert system designed for indirect firing is the most common solution at cement plants.

Working principle of coal mill plant
The raw coal enters the mill via an airtight feed screw and is discharged onto the centre of the rotating grinding table. The rotation of the table accelerates the flow of material towards the grinding track where the coal is ground between the table and the three rollers. The coal then continues over the dam ring and is entrained in the hot drying air that enters the mill house through the nozzle ring. The air lifts the coarser particles back onto the grinding table and sweeps the finer particles up to the separator that lets the final product proceed to the mill outlet while returning the coarse fraction to the table for further grinding. Having left the mill at the top, the final product continues with the air to a cyclone or a bag filter where it is collected.
Spodumene: According to the hard rock crushing process, the crushed product is generally 5-40mm, combined with different design requirements of customers, two-end or three-stage crushing, high-grade crushed products (above 4-5%) can be directly used in the metallurgical process to produce lithium carbonate Or lithium hydroxide, the particle size of the finished product is generally around 20-40mm; low-grade generally requires ball mill grinding and separation, and the particle size of the finished product is generally around 5-20mm;
