coals varying from steam coal, bituminous-, anthracite-, lignite and predried
lignite coal.
 Manufacturing Program

Dry-grinding plants for baryte, bentonite, quick lime, colemanite, dolomite, gypsum,
graphite, feldspar, limestone, kaoline, magnesite, manganese ore, phosphate,
titanium slag and titanium dioxide etc.

Hot gas producers with an outlet temperature of up to 1,000°C which can be

operated using traditional heating media and low-calorific gases.

 Loesche Coal Mill Properties

Typical Characteristics

1. Pressure shock resistant to up to 3.5 bar abs.

2. Stop buffers ensure no metal contact between roller and table
3. Individual guidance of Grinding Rollers
4. 2, 3 or 4 roller design (dependent on throughput)
5. Flat grinding table with conical rollers arranged under 15° => shear forces
6. Hydropneumatic spring system
