1. SUMMARY
In 2005 in Sabanagrande, Barranquilla, Colombia a cement plant was put into operation, which mainly consisted of used equipment: - reclaimer (MIAG, 1961) Teutonia Cement, Germany - kiln (KHD, 1961) Teutonia Cement, Germany - cooler (Claudius peters, 1961) Teutonia Cement, Germany - raw mill (POLYSIUS, 1991; Ex-Berfa) Schwenck, Germany - coal mill (POLYSIUS, 1979, Ex-Rekom) Holcim, Reking, Schweiz - cement mill (POLYSIUS, 1961, Ex-Elzem) Elsa Zement- und Kalkwerk Neubeckum Since 2006 this cement plant belongs to the cement producer ARGOS. This vertical roller mill for raw material grinding was originally designed as a coal mill for a German cement factory of Schwenck in Bernburg, Germany (code word Berfa, delivered in 1993 but never operated). The raw mill is of the type RM 27/13/230. The production rate of the raw mill was in a range of approx. 50 t /h (feed rate: 55 t/h) at a fineness of R (75 m) = 18 % to 22 % recently. ARGOS is looking for measures to increase the production of the raw mill in order to increase the clinker production of the kiln (actual maximum possible kiln feed rate: 80 t/h). Furthermore the high vibration level of the mill should be reduced in order to protect the damaged RENK gearbox. POLYSIUS investigated the raw mill between October 19th and 27th. Different modifications were carried out: - Installation of a inner dam ring - Cutting of the external dam ring extension - Reduction of the roller carrier movement within the guide brackets - Centralizing of the material discharge point on the grinding table - Readjustment of the separator guide vanes - Reversing of the separator turning direction As a result of these measures a production increase of approx. 40 % could be achieved (feed rate: 75 to 80 t/h). The fineness was in a range of R (75 m) = 15 % to 20 % (average 18 %, R (90 m) = 12 %). The vibration level was estimated to be normal. The position of the two installed vibration sensors was incorrect and the indicated numbers were not representative. After the installation of new spare parts (page 4) and further optimization steps, e.g. the elimination of the false air, POLYSIUS estimates a further production increase of 20 % quite feasible. The actual operation revealed several fields of optimization. These points should be brought under control within a short term: 1. Particle size of Caliza (limestone) too high (frequently 80 mm to 200 mm rocks in Caliza). The maximum particle size should be 52 mm. - Hammer crusher in Barranquilla plant to be repaired. Possibly bars below crusher missing. - Sieving grate after mixing bed to be repaired 2. Feeding of bricks. The feeding of red bricks with sizes of 250 mm and more disturbs the formation of a homogeneous grinding bed and major vibration peeks are the consequence. - Elimination or pre-crushing of the bricks

3. High and fluctuating moisture of feed materials (up to 15 % during raining season) - Longitudinal mixing bed to be equipped with a roof. 4. Moist and sticky Caliza creates handling difficulties at raw material bins. - Side walls of the bins to be equipped with stainless steel plates. 5. High amount of huge iron particles entering the raw mill. Only a metal detector is existing but no material extraction flap. Responding of the metal detector has the consequence that the transport belts are stopped and iron pieces are manually removed. This measure is dangerous since metal pieces can be overlooked. 6. During stoppage times of the raw mill the hot kiln gases have to bypass the raw mill through the direct way duct to the filter. Presently it is a common practice to guide the hot kiln waste gases of more than 250 C through the mill system. This operation presents a high risk for the grinding roller tires. Grinding roller temperatures above 200 C were monitored. Material fatigue and temperature shocks after re-feeding the mill can not be excluded. Tire fractures are the consequence, which happened three time during the last 12 month. 7. High percentage of false air with 42 %. The main false air sources could be identified. 8. Operation of air to air heat exchanger after preheater tower during compound operation (raw mill on). When the mill is operated the cooling air fans of the air to air heat exchanger in the preheater tower of the kiln have to be switched off in order to gain sufficient heat capacity for the raw material grinding. The temperature after mill should be in a range of greater 90 C, preferably in a range of 100 to 110 C. Next steps Next to the a.m. optimization points especially the poor mechanical condition of the raw mill needs to be overhauled. The proper mechanical condition is the basis for further production increase and for the stabilization of a smooth and gentle operation. The following mechanical changes are mandatory: 1. Installation of the new gearbox. 2. Installation of new guide brackets with material deflectors (material ploughs) 3. Installation of a new hydraulic unit, tie rods and new design of tie rod sealing 4. New roller carrier with confining air system (wear protected design) 5. New grinding table liner segments 6. New grinding table scraper system in combination with a new inlet shaft sealing. 7. New vibration sensors and correct position (to be confirmed) 8. Replacing the triple pendulum flap valve by a heated rotary coarse feed valve 9. Iron detection and discharge system at mill feed belt Once the mechanical condition is under control, further process optimization steps can be undertaken. The grinding bed was adjusted to a height of approx. 60 mm. This is under normal condition too high (increased power consumption reduced throughput), in this case it serves to protect the damaged grinding table liner segments and the damaged gearbox. The grinding rollers are inclined to the center of the grinding table (reduced throughput). These points can be solved after the mechanical renovation.

3. Findings
3.1 Particle size of Caliza (limestone)
The particle size of Caliza (limestone) is too high. A high portion of Caliza rocks in the range 80 mm to 200 mm can be found frequently. The maximum particle size should be 52 mm (4 % of DRolller = 1300 mm). - Hammer crusher in Barranquilla plant has to be repaired. Possibly are bars below the crusher missing. The Barranquilla plant is 30 km away. All raw materials are delivered with trucks to the Sabangrande plant. - Sieving grate after mixing bed shows huge gaps and should be repaired (PIC 5)

3.2 Feeding of bricks


The feeding of red bricks with sizes of 250 mm and more disturbs the formation of a homogeneous grinding bed and major vibration peeks are the consequence. - Elimination or pre-crushing of the bricks

PIC 6: Bricks in Arcilla

PIC 7: Bricks

3.3 High and fluctuating moisture of feed materials


The moisture is up to 15 % during raining season - Longitudinal mixing bed (MIAG reclaimer) needs to be equipped with a roof.

3.4 Handling difficulties


Moist and sticky Caliza creates handling difficulties at raw material bins - Side walls of the bins to be equipped with stainless steel plates.

PIC 13: Raw material bins

3.5 Iron particles


A high amount of huge iron particles is entering the raw mill. Only a metal detector is existing but no material extraction flap. A responding metal detector has the consequence that the transport belts are stopped and iron pieces are manually removed. This measure is dangerous since metal pieces can be overlooked. - An automatic iron detection and discharge system at the mill feed belt should be installed, especially to avoid further mechanical damage at the grinding tools

3.6 Direct operation (raw mill off)


During stoppage times of the raw mill the hot kiln gases have to bypass the raw mill through the direct way duct to the filter. Presently it is a common practice to guide the hot kiln waste gases of more than 250 C through the mill system. This operation presents a high risk for the grinding roller tires. Grinding roller temperatures above 200 C were monitored. Material fatigue and temperature shocks after re-feeding the mill can not be excluded. Tire fractures, which are most properly a result of high vibration and material fatigue, are the consequence. This happened three times during the last 12 month.

4. Main modifications 4.1 Inner dam ring

PIC 26: Original dam ring condition

PIC 27: Internal dam ring

The external dam ring extension was removed and a inner dam ring at the lower side of the basic dam ring installed.

4.2 Reduction of the roller carrier movement in the guide brackets


The guide brackets were extremely worn and out of shape. The gap between roller carrier guide pin and bracket wall was up to 30 mm (max. 10 mm). Sine the wear material was made from casted steel it was not possible to re-weld it. Instead of that 10 mm steel plates were inserted and welded with a cross-plate.The guide brackets need to be replaced in a medium term.

4.4 Reversing of the separator turning direction


Originally the rotor turning direction was anti-clockwise (left arrow). Due to the inclination of the rotor blades the rotor cage was working as a paddle wheel, shoveling the coarse particles inside the rotor. With the clockwise turning the separation efficiency is improved, which is resulting in higher finenesses at lower rotor speed.

4.5 Readjustment of the separator guide vanes


The guide vane arrangement was changed according to the rotor direction from anti-clockwise to clockwise.

5. Further mechanical deficiencies/recommendations 5.1 Grinding table

PIC 34: Disrupted edge of grinding table segment

PIC 35: Disrupted edge of grinding table segment

The grinding table segments show disrupted edges, most properly resulting from foreign bodies on the grinding table and a high radial clearance of the roller carrier within the guide brackets.

5.2 Hydraulic
The hydraulic unit needs to be replaced. The precise adjustment of the hydraulic pressure was not possible, e.g. at a setpoint of 150 bar the mill was operated with only 129 bar.

5.3 Gearbox

PIC 37: Damaged RENK gearbox

There are actually two vibration sensors installed, at the inlet shaft and at the upper part of the gearbox. The upper sensor showed a vibration level of 5 mm/s, which is most likely due to the damaged gearbox. The correct position, where the vibration sensor should be installed is at the base frame of the gearbox (indicated with an arrow). Here the manual measurement of the vibrations showed a level around 1 mm/s, which is in a normal range. The vibration sensor at the inlet shaft showed a level of 1.7 mm/s.

5.4 Flaps direct operation


The direct way damper is not completely closed at 100 % indication. The measurement showed that there is still a bypass stream of 38,000 m/h through the direct way duct during compound operation (raw mill on). This volume flow is missing in the mill system and reduces the lifting capacity inside the mill. ARGOS stated that in the area of the direct way damper always dust accumulation occurs, which constricts the complete closing of the damper. The position of the damper is located in a quite horizontal gas duct. As an alternative it can be recommended to re-activate the existing guillotine gate and/or to redesign the direct way duct.

5.5 Scraper system

PIC 41: Scraper

ARGOS installed 4 scrapers over the whole circumference according their own design. The mill should be equipped according the original POLYSIUS design. The original POLYSIUS design has 24 scrapers.

5.6 Recirculation duct


The recirculation duct usually serves to adjust the correct negative pressure before mill, which is normally in a range of -4 mbar. Actually the pressure before mill was measured with -15.1 mbar. The recirculation duct damper was fully closed. A lower negative pressure (-4 instead of -15 mbar) relieves the mill fan, more gases can be sucked through the system and the increased gas flow allows a higher production rate. The actual design of the duct is too long, includes an unused fan and unnecessary Venturi nozzle. This increases the pressure drop. It is recommended to rebuild the recirculation duct as short as possible as shown in PIC 43. In the actual case with the high false air portion the high temperature of the inlet hot gases are of higher importance than the correct adjustment of the pressure. It seems that a certain portion of false air is entering the mill through the recirculation duct.

5.7 Nitrogen accumulator


The nitrogen accumulator on the working side - motor side is smaller than on the bucket elevator side. The original piston accumulator should be installed.

PIC 44: Piston accumulator

5.8 Uniform distribution of hot gas before mill


According the original design the hot gases are entering the mill from the front side (arrow PIC 45). ARGOS installed an additional gas duct, which allows an additional entering of hot gases from the backside (PIC 46). According ARGOS information this additional gas duct improved the throughput rate and operation conditions. The necessity of a further equalization of the hot gas distribution under the mill can not be estimated at this point of time. A test with closing of the existing additional hot gas duct can be undertaken.

5.9 Monitoring of wear


For the monitoring of the grinding table and roller wear POLYSIUS will deliver special templates. With the aid of these templates wear progress numbers at certain points over the whole roller respectively table profile have to be monitored. The evaluation of these numbers (free POLYSIUS service) shows the wear rate and the wear progress. Furthermore information regarding the remaining lifetime of the roller respectively grinding table can be derived.
