Title: Adjustable super fine crusher
Inventor: CHRISTOPHER GEORGE KELSEY
IPC: B02C19/11
Filed: 2014-07-22
Abstract: A vertical mill (30) arrangement for producing a fine milled material. The mill has an outer shell (50) and a mandrel (65). The outer shell rotates with sufficient speed to retain the particulate material to be crushed against the inner surface, of the outer shell, by centrifugal force. The mandrel rotates and gyrates around an axis which is different to the axis of the outer shell. The gyratory motion causes the mandrel to impact the particulate material retained against the inner surface of the shell and cause it to be crushed. The outer shell can be formed of a frustoconical section, and the shell may be formed of two separate frustoconical sections of different angles. The mandrel is attached to a rotating shaft where a portion of the shaft is offset from the centreline of the rotation axis to cause the gyratory motion. The mandrel can be formed with a smooth outer surface, or alternatively formed with a stepped surface.
