The LOESCHE roller grinding mill serves exclusively to grind grinding stock in
accordance with the specifications given in the chapter "Technical Data.
The grinding stock is fed to the roller grinding mill in metered amounts via a
conveyor. The grinding process is generated by pressure and friction under the
effect of a hydropneumatic roller spring assembly.
The ground stock is thrown outwards by centrifugal force and carried by the gas
flow to the classifier. The finished product passes through the classifier with the
desired fineness, is discharged and dispatched for further use.
This LOESCHE roller grinding mill is intended for commercial use and was
developed, designed and constructed solely for this purpose.

3.11.3 Safety instructions pertaining to the hydraulic systems

The hydraulic cabinet may only be used for the purpose intended by the
manufacturer.
The limits specified by the manufacturer for the ratio of hydraulicaccumulator operating pressure to fill pressure must not be over- or
undershot.
When filling the accumulator with the necessary gas filling pressure the
correction factor for the ambient temperature, specified by the manufacturer,
must be considered! (see technical information hydraulic system).
The pressure-limiting valves (6...) set by the manufacturer in the HSLM must
not be altered (see Technical Documents for Hydraulic System).
The quality, cleanliness and operational viscosity of the hydraulic medium
are crucial to determining the operational safety and reliability, economy and
service life of the machine.
Make sure that the LOESCHE hydraulic scheme is available in the hydraulic
cabinet.
Make sure that communication between the workers on or in the mill and the
hydraulic-cabinet operator is possible and is practised during safety-related
work.
Make sure during maintenance work (local operation of the hydraulic
cabinets) that there are no persons remaining in the area of the rollers when
the latter are being raised or lowered. Accident hazard!
Lay spacers underneath when the rollers are raised.
Carry out maintenance work on the hydraulic system only after the system is
depressurised and has been completely drained.
Use only nitrogen (N2) to refill the hydraulic accumulators. Oxygen or air
may cause an explosion when combined with oil!
The nitrogen (N2) purity has to be at last 99,995 %, filtered < 3 m.
Use exclusively the original filling unit to fill the hydraulic accumulators.
Observe the information in the hydraulic scheme.
Change filters only after you have made sure that the pump motor cannot be
started.
Use only the specified hydraulic oil in accordance with LOESCHE
recommendations. The cleanliness class of the hydraulic oil used should
meet the requirements of ISO 4406 19/17/14 at the very least.

Safety
3.11.4 Safety instructions pertaining to the swinging device

Do not remain in the swinging range of the rollers while they are being
swung out and in.
When a complete roller is removed from the rocker arm, the latter must
remain coupled with the hydraulic swinging-out cylinder. This prevents the
rocker arm from also being raised when the roller axle is pulled upwards by
frictional locking in the conical clamping sleeves and from springing back as
soon as the axle is free. Accident hazard!
Do not use the hydraulic cylinders without the line-break retainers.
Ensure that personnel are adequately protected during all operations where
the rollers are swung in and out.
To prevent accidents resulting from falls, use safety belts during
maintenance work which calls for the platform to be disassembled.
Check the high-pressure hoses for damage prior to each use. Replace these
hoses if necessary. Use only high-pressure hoses of the required pressure
stage.

DANGER
Direct risk to life and limb!
It is strictly forbidden to override safety systems or change their method of
operation.
The operator must ensure that unauthorised persons (not including operating
and maintenance personnel) are allowed to access the operating area.
Secure the maintenance switch through the use of a padlock after it has
been switched off before you begin with commencing refurbishing,
maintenance, overhaul or cleaning work.
Electrical cabinets can only be opened using a special key. The special key may
only be issued to one authorised person.
Ensure that doors/flaps on electrical cabinets are only opened by specialist
personnel for maintenance purposes and troubleshooting, and otherwise
remain closed and locked.
Operating and maintenance personnel will be trained by LOESCHE GmbH

personnel at the plant operation location. If you have any questions or are
uncertain of anything, please contact LOESCHE GmbH.

The LOESCHE roller grinding mill for grinding clinker/slag consists primarily of
the feed material gate;
the mill;
the classifier;
the mill gearbox with clutch and drive motor;
hydraulic control and lubrication cabinets for the rollers.
The individual machines are assembled into a "roller grinding mill" functional
unit or interconnected by pipes.
P09961-M10X00.980 en Rev. A
51

The grinding material is dumped through an air gate into the feeding chute on
the classifier. Gravity forces it centrally onto the table, which is set into rotatory
motion by an electric motor and the mill gearbox. The centrifugal force acting on
the table delivers the grinding material to the rollers. The grinding material is
crushed between the respective master roller and the grinding route by
pressure and friction under the influence of the hydropneumatic roller spring
assembly system. A support roller for preparing the grinding bed is located
upstream of the master roller in each case. Crushed grinding material is
discarded via the table edge into the area of the louvre ring. There it is
interecepted by the air flow which is drawn in through the mill and the classifier
to carry and classify the grinding material.
Material already crushed to final fineness exits the LOESCHE cement mill
together with the air flow via an outlet fitting on the classifier. Oversized material
is rejected by the classifier and redirected via a directing cone to the table to be
crushed again. Grit which is neither intercepted by the rollers for crushing nor
routed by the air flow to the classifier falls through the louvre ring into the ring
duct surrounding the table and from there directed via a reject hopper to the
external reject handling system.

Gearbox baseplate
Structure
The "Mill stand cpl. is a combined cast/welded construction whose foundation
frame is mounted in a reinforced concrete foundation using foundation bolts.
Foundation frame
The foundation frame is a supporting structure made of wide-flanged girders.
The frames support the pedestals and the mill gearbox via the gearbox
baseplate.
The foundation frame is divided into one main part and an additional part for
transport purposes. The prefabricated structural elements are welded together
on site to form one unit. Suitable anchoring points must be provided for aligning
the parts.
Gearbox baseplate
The gearbox baseplate is a precise supporting surface for the mill gearbox and
connects this to the lower housing. It is aligned using jackscrews. A balancing
mass is provided between gearbox baseplate and foundation frame so that the
physical weight of the gearbox and table can be transferred into the foundation
across its whole area.
Gearbox foot flange, gearbox baseplate and foundation frames are fixed
together with gearbox mounting bolts. In addition, the gearbox foot flange is
directly supported by the foundation frame via driving wedges.
54
P09961-M10X00.980 en Rev. A

Pedestals
The pedestals for the mill stand are located symmetrically around the mill
centre. They are aligned, bolted and welded to the foundation frame.
The pedestals are a combination of cast and welded construction. A bearing
block containing the cam follower bearings with 2 bearing housings is welded
onto a box carrier made of sheet metal. Sheet metal plates welded into the
pedestal increase its torsional resistance.
A mounting housing for the M (Master) buffer to the M rocker arm is welded in
below the bearing block. It transfers the forces acting on the buffer to the steel
construction of the M pedestal.
The pedestal incorporates heavy welded plates with bores to which the
cylinders of the M spring assembly are linked.
The mounting for the swinging-out device for the roller/rocker arm unit is located
on the outside of the pedestal.
The pedestal has doors which seal off the assembly opening for the hydraulic
cylinders of the M spring assembly.
Bridges
The bridges are box girder structures. They are inserted between the pedestals
at bearing block height, bolted to them and welded to form a torsionally-stiff ring
structure.
The bridges contain a nonslip stud or checkered plate floor and form the mill
platform together with the railings.
Railing
DANGER
Risk of falling!
Platform components must be removed from the pedestals before swinging out
the rollers.
Always use safety belts when dismantling the platforms and carry out the
following maintenance work.
The railings are welded to the bridges to form the mill platform on site. Platform
components on the pedestals can be dismantled to allow the rollers to be
swung out.
Access to the platform is possible via the building or a separate access.
Ring duct
The ring duct is a gas-tight sheet steel housing which is supported on the
pedestals and bridges via a flanged connection.
The floor of the ring duct is double-walled to provide heat insulation.
As an option, the ring duct can be wholly or partially jacketed with a wearresistant lining.
P09961-M10X00.980 en Rev. A
55

Gas duct
The gas ducts are welded to form a gas-tight sheet steel housing together with
the ring duct. The floor of the gas duct is made to form a slide which allows
foreign bodies to fall out of the mill stand. As an option, the gas duct can be
wholly or partially jacketed with a wear-resistant lining.
Reject flap
The reject hopper in the gas duct leads to a chute which is closed off by a flap.
The flap is hinged so that it closes itself due to self-weight and mill vacuum
pressure.
Function
The mill stand housing has two functions:
The mill base supports the milling tools and power transmission elements
via the pedestals. In addition to this, it guides the hot gases to the louvre
ring, which is located in the upper section of the ring duct. The hot gases
flow to the gas duct via the ring duct into the mill. In the ring duct, the hot
gas distributes itself around the table neck and flows evenly through the
louvre ring into the grinding chamber.
Foreign bodies and grinding material parts which fall through the louvre ring
into the ring duct are pushed by scrapers on the table into the floor opening
of a gas duct and then fall out of the reject opening.

Structure
The mill body is a welded structure. The cylindrical housing is welded to the mill
stand.
The housing is made in 2 parts for transportation if necessary. The housing
halves then have prepared areas for welds at the sweeping point.
The two halves, which are kept dimensionally stable by welded-in struts, are
welded to each other during assembly.
The mill body contains large passage openings for swinging the M and S rollers
in and out. These openings are closed off by covers which are bolted to the
housing.
The passage openings for the rocker arms in the mill body are sealed by
sealing systems (see "Rocker arm seal" assemblies).
M roller covers
The M roller covers are a steel plate/welded construction and bolted to the mill
body. The M rocker arm collar reaches into the grinding chamber through an
opening in the cover recess. The rocker arm passage is sealed with the "Lever
sealing (M) cpl.".
S roller covers
The S roller covers seal the openings for the S rocker arm passages. In the
upper area the covers are supported against the mill body.
P09961-M10X00.980 en Rev. A
57

Articulated lugs for accommodating hydraulic cylinders ("Spring assembly (S)
cpl.") are located here.
Lugs with integrated joints are located at the lower end of the S roller covers.
These comprise hollow journals which are guided in bearing blocks.
The bearing blocks are welded to the bridges during assembly at the
construction site. Equalising rings can be used to align the bearing points
exactly and to provide distortion-free welding.
Mill door
Two doors with quick-release locks are provided to inspect the interior of the
mill.
Function
The mill body has the following functions:
forming a grinding chamber which encloses the dust/gas mixture between
table and classifier and guides it;
closing off the rocker arm passages in the housing;
supporting the forces from the S roller systems via the integriated S covers;
supporting the classifier, which is welded to the LM body flange.

Structure and function

The interior of the mill body is protected against wear by blast jet and impacts
by highly wear-resistant steel plates. The plates are plug-welded to the mill
body. They are applied in a specific, prescribed arrangement, which is shown in
the "Lining cpl." drawing.

Sprinkler pipe

The grinding bed sprinkler is a piece of auxiliary equipment which can be used
to influence the properties of the grinding bed. It has been demonstrated in
many plants for clinker and blast furnace slag comminution that a water
sprinkler helps to stabilise the grinding bed significantly, thereby enabling the
mill to run more smoothly.
Water is introduced ahead of each grinding roller as closely as possible above
the grinding bed. The amount of water is so small that it has only a negligible
effect on the mill's heat balance and is of no process engineering significance.
As an option, a liquid grinding aid can be added to the water.
60
P09961-M10X00.980 en Rev. A

The effect of the grinding bed sprinkler is greater the close the water is
introduced ahead of the grinding rollers. On the other hand, there is a risk of the
hot grinding rollers being destroyed if they come into direct contact with cold
water.
NOTICE
Possible tire damage!
Position the grinding bed sprinkler as indicated in the drawing so as to
prevent the tires from being destroyed by temperature stress (see "Grinding
bed sprinkler cpl. drawing).
A hose connects the water line to the sprinkler pipe. The sprinkler pipe can be
released from the pipe holder for servicing and pulled out of the grinding
chamber.
Orifice plates are installed in the water lines ahead of the connecting hose. The
orifice plates increase the pressure in the water lines and ensure flawless pump
delivery and uniform distribution of the water volume to the sprinkler pipes.
The openings in the sprinkler pipes can be freed of deposit build-ups and
residual water blown out of the pipes by means of compressed air blasted
through additional lines.
If the mill is to be operated for an extended period without the grinding bed
sprinkler, the complete pipe holder can be removed and the opening in the mill
body sealed with the cover provided.
Delivery and flow rate

The orifice plate is designed in such a way that the upper flow rate limit value
(see assembly drawing) is achieved at max. pump capacity. It is possible to
alter the range of the effective flow rate (see supplier's documentation) by using
a different orifice plate size.

Structure
Table casting
The table casting is a heavy cast rotational body which is fixed via screw bolts
to the drive flange on the LM gearbox. The drive torque is transferred from the
gearbox via the bolted connections and 2 or 4 drive pins onto the base body.
The horizontal top side of the table casting is lined using the grinding plate and
forms the grinding route. Bores can be provided as an option in the grinding
plate and the table casting. Unwanted iron parts can be discharged through
these bores.
The table works as an anvil due to its large weight and its material properties.
Alternating loads are absorbed by the rollers. Dynamic loading is only partially
transferred to the gearbox axial bearings.
Grinding plate and clamping ring
The highly wear-resistant grinding plate, which is divided into segments, is the
grinding route lining. The segments are cylindrically ground around their outside
diameter so that they contact the table casting collar perfectly. The segments
are tensioned between inside and outside table collars using the clamping ring
clamping piece and bolts.
62
P09961-M10X00.980 en Rev. A

Dam ring
The dam ring is bolted from above onto the outside table casting collar. The
dam ring height determines the layer thickness (grinding bed) of the grinding
material on the table.
A high grinding bed leads to high energy consumption within the mill without
correspondingly increasing the milling effect. For this reason, the dam ring
height should be kept as low as possible. A lower dam ring retains less grinding
material on the table and the grinding material quantity flung off by centrifugal
force puts more load on the louvre ring.
The dam ring height is selected to match the application when the mill is
shipped. Despite this, it may be necessary to adjust the height during initial
start-up.
The dam ring comprises a solid basic ring with turned collar for centring on the
table collar. A pack of flat steel rings is screwed to the basic ring bolted to the
table. It is possible by removing or adding flat steel rings to adjust the overall
height of the dam ring over the grinding plate.
Note
In order to guarantee perfect milling, the rollers should be located as close as
possible to the dam ring wear ring!
Scatter ring (if fitted)

The scatter ring is a metal ring divided into segments. It distributes the milled
material thrown off the by the dam ring and guides it to the louvre ring. It covers
the wide air gap between the outside diameter of the table and the inner louvre
ring jacket ring.
In doing so, it forms a long, narrow gap which causes a high airflow resistance
together with the flat ring on the inside diameter of the louvre ring. For this
reason, the primary gas flows against the lower resistance caused by the louvre
ring into the LM upper housing.
If the mill does not have a separate scatter ring, the specially designed dam ring
acts as a scatter element.
Louvre ring
A segmented louvre ring is fixed stationary around the table. The exterior of the
louvre plates is protected against wear by a lining shell.
Each segment can be flexibly aligned. This enables the gap between the
segments to be minimised. This means that undesirable bypass flow of the gas
with increased wear is avoided. Bypass flow adjacent to this is prevented by the
temperature-resistant insulation material which is plugged between the louvre
ring segments and the ring duct.
The louvre ring directs the primary gas flowing out of the ring duct from above
and, due to the inclined location of the louvres, causes the necessary grinding
material particle circulation in the grinding chamber.
Armour ring
The segmented armour ring causes the extension of the external jacket ring
from the louvre ring. It also supports the primary gas guidance away from the
upper section wall. Individual armour ring segments are each bolted to a louvre
ring segment.
P09961-M10X00.980 en Rev. A
63

Scraper
Foreign bodies and grinding material particles which have fallen through the
louvre ring or the grinding route openings against the primary gas flow are
collected on the floor of the ring duct. During operation, or when the mill starts,
the particles are caught by the scrapers and pushed to the reject hopper in the
gas entrance of the LM lower housing.
Function
The main function of the table is to support the grinding bed and to transfer the
forces caused by the rollers into the gearbox located below, and to transfer the
torque from the drives into the grinding zone.
Together with the ring duct, the table forms a ring-shaped chamber from which
the primary gas flows into the grinding chamber via the louvre ring.
The table is the second milling tool inside the mill in addition to the rollers.

The mill motor is supported by the motor frame, which is bolted and pinned to
the motor base frame set in concrete after the mill motor is aligned to the mill
gearbox.
The coupling guard ensures that rotating parts cannot be accidentally touched
during grinding operation.
If damaged, the mill gearbox can, after removal of the mill motor (with motor
frame) and raising of the table, be pulled out under the mill for removal on socalled tracks, which are welded on the motor base frame set in concrete.

5.2.7
Grinding parts cpl.

Setup and function
The "Grinding parts cpl." assembly consists of the grinding plate (functional part
of the "Table cpl." assembly) and the tires for the rollers (M) and (S).
Grinding plate
The grinding plate is the mill grinding route lining. It comprises a wear-resistant
casting. The grinding plate is divided into segments whose surface-ground
contact faces rest flat on the table. The segments are clamped between the
inner and outer table collars.
M tire
The rollers are crushing tools and are therefore subject to wear. A tire is used
as a wear part. The tire is a highly wear-resistant casting and is formed as a
single-component ring with tapered runway.
Refer to the drawing "Roller (M) cpl." for the type of tire mounting.
S tire
The S rollers are used to prepare the grinding bed. They operate with low
specific pressure and theoretically exert no sliding movement on the grinding
bed. The tire comprises a wear-resistant casting. The non-profiled surface has a
working width which is adapted to the M roller.
Refer to the drawing "Roller (S) cpl." for the type of roller mounting.
Wear
Grinding plate
The grinding plate is brittle on account of its structure. If a segment cracks as a
result of mechanical or thermal stresses, it does not have to be replaced
immediately. However, fragments of a segment must not creep upwards and
create holes in the grinding track.
Cracked grinding plate segments are usually wedged by the penetration of
grinding material so firmly against each other that they do not have to be
replaced before the normal wear time has elapsed.
It is not planned to replace the grinding plate at regular intervals. Wear usually
occurs in a limited area. Here the grinding plate can be relined by means of
build-up welding.
Lining is performed using mobile welding equipment (see separate
manufacturer's documentation) inside the mill. The grinding plate does not need
to be removed. Experience shows that rewelding has to be performed at the
latest when the wear recess has reached a maximum depth of 10 mm.
M tire
The M tire is subject to wear in a ring-shaped area. In this case, as with the
grinding plate, regular relining by means of build-up welding (see above) is
provided for.
S tire
Rolling wear of the S tires is minimal on account of their function as preparation
rollers.

Number and location

Depending on the design, the mill is fitted with two or three M rollers, each of
which is clamped in a rocker arm. The M rollers are spaced equidistant from
each other and are held with a marginal axial inclination to the horizontal
grinding route in the zero setting.
Bearings
Each M roller runs in a cylindrical roller bearing located on the rocker arm side
and in a dual-row taper roller bearing on the hub cover side. Whereas the
cylindrical roller bearing takes up only radial forces, the taper roller bearing
transfers both radial and axial forces. Both bearings are supported against each
other using distance sleeves and clamped using the hub cover and sealing
sleeve bolts.
P09961-M10X00.980 en Rev. A
67

Note
The achievable bearing service life is very much dependent on:
the way the mill is operated
the use of perfectly functioning lubricants
sufficient lubrication
observance of the stipulated operating temperature for the mill.
Lubrication
The roller bearings are generally lubricated by circulating oil, whereby pumps in
the HSMS hydraulic cabinet supply the oil. A radial bore in the hub ensures a
constant minimum M roller oil level (see "Hydraulic cabinet HSMS" instruction
manual).
Seals
Each M roller is fitted with different seals:
Sealing gas seals

The roller bearings are under atmospheric pressure. Since this is higher
than the pressure in the grinding chamber, no dust can penetrate the
bearings. (See "Sealing air piping cpl." instruction manual).
Mechanical seals
The roller bearing space is protected by mechanical seals against the dust
atmosphere in the mill:
An O-ring seals the hub cover against the hub. The rotating roller parts are
sealed against the fixed axle via a slip-ring system (see "Slip-ring seal cpl."
instruction manual).
Roller settings
The position of the M roller on the table (distance to dam ring) can be changed
using a ring. This ring is inserted between the conical sleeve on the rocker arm
and the corresponding axle shoulder.
Note
Only fit this ring for making roller settings if the roller is touching the dam ring
along its internal diameter (see drawing information).

Wear
NOTICE
Possible tire damage!
The clamping surfaces on the tires and hubs are manufactured with very tight
tolerances. The use of imprecisely manufactured tires leads to increased danger
of breakage and destruction of the cone seat!
The rollers are crushing tools and are therefore subject to wear. A tire is used
as a wear part. The tire is a highly wear-resistant casting and is formed as a
single-component ring with tapered runway.
It is pulled over the roller hub using a clamping ring with tee-head bolts, disc
springs and nuts. The disc springs accept push points which affect the bolts.
The hub is protected against wear by blast jet by a revolving bell housing in
wear-resistant material.
A removable protection plate is optionally connected to the bell housing. This
protects the rocker arm seal against wear by blast jet.

Structure
The mill is fitted with M rocker arms which are each hinged on a bearing block
on the LM lower housing. Two or three M rocker arms are symmetrically
arranged in relation to the mill centre.
Each M rocker arm consists of a central lever, fork, axle and radial and axial
bearings in the LM lower housing bearing block.
The central lever is shrunk onto the axle. The upper part of the lever contains
the seat opening for the roller axle which is fixed using tapered sleeves at right
angles to the lever axis.
The fork grips the lever from both sides. This is also fixed to the axle using
tapered flange centring sleeves. Screwed and bolted connections transfer any
torque occurring (see "Rocker arm (M) cpl." drawing).
Each fork side wall is pulled against the central lever using bolts. Torque is
either transferred via the surface friction between fork and lever or via a taper
P09961-M10X00.980 en Rev. A
71

pin connection on each fork side wall (see also "LM auxiliary equipment: Rocker
arm cpl.").
The bottom end of the fork is formed as a box and is completed by one or two
straps with transverse drillhole. This is where the cylinder(s) on the hydropneumatic spring assembly are hinged.
An armoured sealing cap to seal off the rocker arm opening in the mill body is
bolted onto the face of the rocker arm collar (see "Lever sealing (M) cpl."
assembly).
Bearings
The M rocker arm shaft is supported in two bearing housings in the pedestal
bearing block.
Spherical roller bearings, in which the rocker arm shaft is hinged, take up radial
forces. Changing axial thrust is taken up by fixed thrust washers.
Any impact force occurring on the bearing housing bolts during mill operation is
relieved via friction in disc springs.
Lubrication
All lubrication points are lubricated with grease. All lubrication bores are sealed
by grease nipples during transportation and arm installation. After mill assembly
all the lubrication bores are connected to a central grease lubrication system
(see "Lubrication line cpl." assembly).
A specification of the heavy-duty lubricating greases is contained in the
maintenance table.
Function
The M rocker arm transmits the forces caused by the double-acting hydraulic
cylinder onto the rollers and the grinding bed. The hydraulic cylinders are
hinged on the bottom end of the M rocker arm by joint pins.
Hydraulic cylinder and M rocker arm a located so that the bearing reaction
forces are always transmitted into the pedestals.
Separation of the central lever from the fork allows the roller (M) to be swung
out without having to dismantle the fork and spring assembly cylinder.
Sealing air is fed into the ring gap between roller axle and M rocker arm via a
drillhole with connecting unions on the top of the lever. This prevents dust
penetrating the roller bearings (see also "Sealing air system").
A geometrically adapted sealing box seals the M rocker arm against the mill
body (see also "Lever sealing cpl." assembly).

a) Moved parts
The components fixed to the rocker arm (M) are:
the sealing cap with side wall lining,
the armour ring,
the upper lining plate on the sealing cap and the lower sealing segment
which is bolted to the sealing cap,
the armour ring bolted to the sealing cap.
P09961-M10X00.980 en Rev. A
73

b) Static parts
The static parts are bolted to the cover and the mill body:
an upper and lower sealing channel which match the moved sealing
segments with their curves,
2 right-hand and 2 left-hand "side walls" (angled strips),
various rubber and sheet strips which are bolted to the sealing
segments.
Function
The rubber and sheet strips can be readjusted using longitudinal holes up to the
moved parts (sealing caps). The same applies to the sealing segments and
angled strips.
Tight and long labyrinth gaps are formed between the moved and static parts
using the adjustable strips. They prevent dust penetrating the external sealing
strips. The fabric-reinforced rubber sealing strips can be cut out of used rubber
conveyor belts.
To keep leak air entry into the mill as low as possible, special corner seals have
been bolted to the sealing caps and upper housing cover to seal off the right
angled corners.

Adjusting the rocker arm monitor cpl.

NOTICE
Possible risk to the machine!
Incorrect or faulty adjustments of the rocker arm monitor cpl. can lead to
damage of the machine!
The rocker arm monitor cpl. must be adjusted:
after the initial installation
after the pivoting procedure of the rollers and
after replacing the transducer, the reference mark sensor or their holders.
The checking of the dimension A (see drawing information) and the

determination of the measuring points for the roller positions "Roller too deep"
and "Roller raised" are part of the adjustment.
This means:
Roller too deep
The roller position falls below the position of

the minimally required grinding bed thickness.
Roller raised
The roller is in the highest position possible

(cylinder end stop)
Both positions are shown by signals in the central central control room.
Grinding bed thickness
The measuring range of the grinding bed thickness is limited by the measuring
points of both roller positions "Roller too deep" and "Roller raised".
The position of the reference mark sensor in relation to the transducer changes
with the changing of the pivoting angle of the rocker arm.
The position signal is converted into a value in the evaluation unit which directly
specifies the grinding bed thickness. The value is displayed in the central
central control room.

Structure
Depending on the design, the mill is equipped with two or three S-rollers. The
rollers are each permanently connected to an S-rocker arm. The S-rollers are
positioned between the M-rollers. In the zero setting the conical working surface
is parallel to the horizontal grinding route.
In order to achieve as clean a rolling effect as possible, the inclined roller axle
and the vertical table axle meet in the working plane.
P09961-M10X00.980 en Rev. A
77

Bearings
Each S-roller runs in a cylindrical roller bearing located on the rocker arm side
and in a spherical roller bearing on the hub cover side.
Whereas the cylindrical roller bearing takes up only radial forces, the spherical
roller bearing transfers both radial and axial forces. The axial forces are
generated by the inclined arrangement of the S-roller in relation to the table.
Seals
Each S-roller is fitted with different seals.
Sealing gas seal
The non-contact sealing gas seal prevents the roller bearing assembly from
being contaminated by dust from the grinding chamber (see "Sealing air
system cpl." instruction manual).
The roller bearing assembly is under atmospheric pressure via a filter and
bores. Since this is higher than the pressure in the grinding chamber, no
dust can penetrate the bearings.
Mechanical seals
The roller bearing space is protected by mechanical seals against the dust
atmosphere in the mill. An O-ring seals the hub cover against the hub. The
sealing sleeve is bolted to the hub using sealing compound. The rotating
components of the roller are sealed off against the fixed axle via a slip-ring
system.
Roller settings
The S-roller is not a grinding roller, but rather a preparation roller. Its function is
to compress, i.e. prepare, the ventilated and inhomogeneous grinding bed of
feed material and re-circulating material for the subsequent grinding roller (Mroller).
The working level of the S-roller is therefore significantly higher than that of the
M-roller. There are two possible ways of selecting the position of the S-roller
above the table surface:
by adjusting the buffer spindle of the S-buffer, whereby the S-rocker arm is
mechanically adjusted to a desired height with the S-roller;
with the aid of the S-hydraulics by positioning with a hydraulic cylinder.
Lubrication
The roller bearings are lubricated in the oil bath. Refer to the lubricant table for
oil quantity and oil quality.
78
P09961-M10X00.980 en Rev. A

Wear
The S-rollers are used to prepare the grinding bed. They operate with low
specific pressure and theoretically exert no sliding movement on the grinding
bed. Rolling wear is therefore minimal.
Tire
The S-tire is part of the "Grinding parts cpl." assembly and is described in
the instruction manual under the same name.
S-tire fastening
The S-tire has two cylindrical seats of different sizes on the S-hub. The tire
is clamped with the aid of a bolted clamping ring against a flat hub collar
surface.
Bell housing / guard

Depending on the S-roller design, the hub is protected against wear by blast
jet by a rotating bell housing or guard made of wear-resistant material.

Structure
The S rocker arm is a welded construction. It is mounted in the upper housing
cover. The cross-struts are provided with sleeve bearing bushes for this
purpose and form the swivel joints with the axle bolts secured in the upper
housing.
On the side projecting into the mill the S roller is secured by means of a flanged
fitting.
A tube bundle flanged on the S roller, which is guided outwards by the rocker
arm, provides a connection with the roller interior for oil filling and checking and
rotation monitoring.
The reverse side of the S rocker arm has a jib, which serves as the articulated
point of the S assembly hydraulic cylinder and to accommodate the stop
spindle.
80
P09961-M10X00.980 en Rev. A

Function
The function of the S rocker arm is to:
secure the S roller so that it swivels,
support the S roller resiliently on the S buffer and to maintain it at a defined
minimum distance above the grinding route,
direct into the S roller additional hydraulic forces from the effect of the
hydraulic cylinder acting at the top on the S rocker arm,
seal the S rocker arm/roller unit via a flanged sealing shield on the housing
passage (see also "Arm seal (S) cpl." assembly).
Sealing air is supplied through the hollow journals into the annular gap between
the roller axle and S rocker arm, which serves to seal the rocker arm/roller
internally against penetration by dust into the roller bearings.
For this purpose the transport protection cover must be replaced at the planned
connection point by the sealing air connection piece (see "Sealing air system"
instruction manual).

Adjusting the rocker arm monitor (S) cpl.

NOTICE
Incorrect or poor adjustment of the rocker arm monitor (S) cpl. may result in
damage to the machine!
The rocker arm monitor (S) cpl. must be adjusted:
after initial assembly
after the rollers have been swung in, and
after replacing the displacement sensor, the position sensor or their holders.
Adjustment involves checking dimension A (see drawing information) and
determining the measuring points for the roller positions "roller too low and
"roller raised.
Position meanings:
Signal
Meaning
Roller too low
The roller position drops below the position of

the minimum required grinding bed thickness.
Roller raised
The roller is in the highest possible position

(cylinder end stop).
Both positions are indicated by signals in the central control room.

Grinding bed thickness
The measuring range of the grinding bed thickness is limited by the measuring
points of the two roller positions "roller too low" and "roller raised.
The position of the position sensor in relation to the displacement sensor
changes as the swivel angle of the S rocker arm changes. The position signal is
converted in the evaluator unit into a value which specifies the grinding bed
thickness directly. The value is displayed in the central control room.

The grinding parts of the LOESCHE mill can be quickly changed with the
hydraulic swinging device.
The roller is swung out of the mill body and the rocker arm supported with a
hydraulic cylinder.
Tire and grinding plate are freely accessible after swinging out.
For swinging the lower rod end of the hydraulic cylinder is connected to joint
seating. The piston rod incorporates a fork element with pin, which is engaged
in a strap on the rocker arm.
The hydraulic cylinder is equipped with non-return valves with restriction at both
ends. Quick-release coupling facilitate the connection of maximum-pressure
hoses. The couplings can be opened under pressure without the loss of oil.
The supply system, the HSAV, consists of a frame with an oil tank and pump
mounted on top, a manually actuated control valve, an electrical control box,
two maximum-pressure hoses for connecting with the swinging cylinder and an
electrical cable for connecting the pump motor to the mains power supply.
The valve control lever is used to preselect the working direction of the
hydraulic cylinder and to switch on the pump. The pump runs for as long as the
slide is actuated. The cylinder must be filled with oil when the piston is
retracted.
The tank must not be filled completely as oil displaced by the piston flows back
and requires a volume reserve.

fork of the "Rocker arm cpl." assembly (see also "LM auxiliaries cpl."
assembly).
Screw off and remove the cover from the mill body.
If fitted, remove the 2-part protection plates for the roller cpl.
For roller (S)
Block the hydraulic cylinder of the positioning device with auxiliary
equipment.
Detach the hydraulic hoses from the hydraulic cylinder.
Detach the S cover from the mill body.
Further for grinding roller and roller (S)
Remove any platforms in the rocker arm swinging area.
In the case of oil circulating lubrication, have a collecting container ready for
oil from the roller.
Close the vent bore on the roller.
Suspend the rod end bearing of the hydraulic cylinder from the joint seating
of the pedestal (grinding roller) or from the foundation (roller (S)) and
secure.
Move the HSAV to the hydraulic cylinder.
Attach the two hydraulic hoses of the HSAV with their quick-release
couplings to the corresponding cylinder connections.
Connect the HSAV via the mains cable to the mains supply.
Actuate the control lever and extend the piston rod.
The control lever switches the pump motor on and off.
During commissioning or after changing a seal, move the piston back and
forth to vent the cylinder.
Extend the piston rod up to the rod end bearing of the rocker arm.
Connect the fork end of the piston rod with the pin to the rocker arm rod end
bearing.
Secure the pin with a split pin.
5.3.4
Swinging-out process
Place the hand lever of the control valve in the "Swing out" position until the
pump motor runs.
The pump motor is switched off when the control lever is in the centre position.
Hold the valve lever in the working position until the axle of the swung-out
roller is vertical.
86
P09961-M10X00.980 en Rev. A

Note
When it is released, the valve lever returns automatically to the "0" position.
To avoid uncontrolled movements, the oil flow is braked by throttle check valves
in the hydraulic cylinder.
These are set by the hydraulic cylinder supplier to their minimum values. Make
sure when resetting that the oil flow does not become too high so that the fuses
in the hydraulic cylinder do not operate unintentionally.
The rocker arm moves downwards to its end position, which is limited by a
mechanical stop.
Move the valve lever to the "0" position; the pump motor switches off.
The hydraulic system is protected by an overflow valve which is an integral part

of the pump unit.
The HSAV has a motor circuit-breaker with bimetal tripping device.
5.3.5
Swinging-in process
The swinging-in process happens in reverses sequence to the swinging-out
process. Place the control valve in the "Swing in" position here.
The swinging-in process is concluded when the rocker arm has assumed its
normal working position.

Lubrication line cpl.

This assembly comprises the oil lines of the recirculating oil lubrication system
for the rollers (M) and the grease lines for the rocker arms (M).
Design and function
Oil lines
The oil lines are installed in accordance with the "Lubrication line cpl." assembly
drawing between the connecting line of the HSMS hydraulic cabinet and
grinding rollers. Refer to the assembly drawing or lubrication scheme for
identification of the pipe connections.
Connection is established to the roller axle via hoses, permitting free
adjustability both during mill operation while the rocker arm (M) is moving and
during the swinging-out operation.
Note
Subsequent reductions in the pipe cross-sections may result - particularly in the
return line to the tank - in impaired lubrication system operation.
Grease lines
The grease lines are installed in accordance with the "Lubrication line cpl."
assembly drawing between one or more motor-driven lubrication pumps (see
parts list for number) and the respective lubrication points. These include the
radial and thrust bearings of the rocker arms (M).
Piston distributors with force control ensure that grease is distributed precisely
to the lubrication points. Fault-free operation of the piston distributors is only
guaranteed when all the outlets to the consumers are connected.

Sealing air pipe

In order to prevent the roller bearings and the slip-ring seal of the M and S
rollers being damaged by dust from the grinding chamber, the very tight annular
gap between the wear ring of the rollers and the wear ring of the M or S rocker
arm is pressuresed with sealing air.
This air is supplied through the sealing air pipe which surrounds the LM upper
housing. The sealing air pipe enters through an upper bore at the M rocker arm.
In the case of the S rocker arm, the sealing air is routed from the side into the
rocker arm.
In the case of both rocker arm types, the sealing air then flows through the
rocker arm past the slip-ring seal and through the sealing air gap into the
grinding chamber.
The sealing air gap is structurally determined by the difference in the diameters
of the two wear rings. It cannot be adjusted.

Vibration evaluation of the mill is performed in accordance with VDI Guideline

2056. The LOESCHE roller grinding mill must be classified into Group "D".
Recorded in this group are machines which are rigidly mounted and bring about
non-compensatable mass actions. For Group "D" there are no evaluation scales
on account of the non-compensatable mass actions. The mill is therefore
classified as an alternative in Group "G", where rigidly mounted machines (on
heavy foundations) are recorded with only revolving masses.

In order to monitor mill operation a vibration pickup is mounted above the mill
door on the body in accordance with the drawing "Vibration monitoring cpl.".
The vibration pickup measures the movements of the body in the horizontal
direction (mm/s). What is indicated is not foundation vibrations, which are to be
evaluated directly in accordance with VDI Guideline 2056. Instead, a
significantly increased vibration velocity over the foundation vibration is
signalled at the height of the mill door.
The measured values converted from mechanical into electrical signals are
directed via a cable to a contact instrument in the measuring cabinet abd then
indicated by the instrument. The grinding plant's normal shutdown procedure is

5.4
Hydraulic system of the grinding roller

The grinding tools in the LOESCHE roller grinding mill are the table and the
grinding rollers. The table is fitted with a horizontal grinding route and is driven
at constant speed.
While in raw meal dry grinding plants the feed material is ground with all the
rollers, a distinction is made in clinker/slag grinding plates between the master
roller (M roller, also roller (M)) and the support roller (S roller, also roller (S)).
The two roller types differ in design and size, based on their respective function.
They are located in pairs opposite the table.
The M rollers crush the grinding material through their own weight and
additionally applied hydraulic pressing force; the grinding material is merely
prepared by the S rollers by way of low contact pressure on the grinding bed.
The pressing force of the M rollers on the grinding material is generated by the
hydro-pneumatic spring assembly system.
The grinding clearance of the S rollers above the grinding route is adjusted with
the hydraulic positioning device.
A stop buffer on the rocker arm prevents the tires from coming into direct
contact with the grinding plates.

Spring assembly cpl.
Every M roller in the mill is fitted with a spring assembly. These consist,
depending on the mill type, of one or two hydraulic cylinders which are
connected to the M rollers via the rocker arm. The hydraulic cylinders are each
fixed as a hinge by the rod end bearing to the LM lower housing and fixed to the
rocker arms with a rod head.
Hydraulic cabinet HSLM
The HLSM hydraulic cabinet provides the supply system for the hydropneumatic
mill roller spring assembly.
Please see the separate manufacturer's documentation for detailed information
about the HLSM setup.
Ring/connecting pipeline cpl.
The oil supply system (hydraulic cabinet) and the hydropneumatic spring
assembly for the mill are connected to each other via a pipe system. The crosssectional areas stated in the drawing must be observed for each pipe. Welded
pipes are descaled and conserved at manufacture by pickling, and must be
protected by hermetic sealing of the flange against corrosion and the
penetration of dirt until final assembly.

NOTICE
If the piping is laid in a foundation duct, its top surface must be painted with oilresistant paint to prevent damage to the concrete. A drain fitted to the duct
ensures that leaked oil and water can flow away during cleaning work.
Hydraulic bladder accumulator

A bladder accumulator consists of a liquid and a gas section with a bladder as a
gas-proof separating element. The liquid components around the bladder are
connected to the hydraulic circuits so that if the pressure increases the bladder
accumulator is filled, which compresses the gas. If the pressure reduces, the
compressed gas expands again and displaces the accumulated pressurised
liquid into the circuit.
Hydraulic piston accumulator
A piston accumulator consists of a liquid and a gas section with a piston as a
gas-proof separating element. The gas side is pre-filled with nitrogen. The liquid
components around the bladder are connected to the hydraulic circuits so that if
the pressure increases the piston accumulator takes in fluid, which compresses
the gas. If the pressure reduces, the compressed gas expands again and
displaces the accumulated pressurised liquid into the circuit.
Hydraulic cylinder
The hydraulic cylinder construction can be seen from the separate
manufacturer's documentation.
Stop buffer cpl.
WARNING
Heavy machine parts. Possible loss of body parts!
Remaining in the vicinity of moving parts belonging to systems transmitting
grinding power is not permitted for safety reasons.
Use shims of sufficient thickness between roller and table in order to prevent
unintentional lowering of the rollers.
Use suitable auxiliary equipment, such as e.g. rods, to place the metal
plates under the rollers.
The stop buffer consists of the welded housing, the adjustable spindle and the
pretensioned elastomer for absorbing impacts.
The housing is bolted to the pedestal in the LM lower housing.
The spindle can be readjusted in accordance with the wear on the grinding
parts. Adjustment is performed by inserting a 10 mm plate under the rollers on
the empty table.
The spindle is secured from the outside against subsequent rotation during
operation.
If wear arises on the grinding parts, it is necessary to check the spindle
adjustment in good time as otherwise the stop buffer will be subjected to
unnecessarily frequent load from striking by the fork.

Fig. 29: Interplay, working pressure/counterpressure system
The hydraulic cylinders (4) are connected to the working pressure system (10)
on the piston rod side (12) and the counterpressure system (9) on the piston
side (7).
A: During mill operation, the rollers are raised by the grinding material lying on
the table. In doing so, the rocker arms are deflected. The pistons (6) in the
hydraulic cylinders move upwards and displace oil (3) from the working
pressure system into the hydraulic bladder accumulator (11). The nitrogenfilled accumulator bladder (1) in the bladder accumulators is compressed by
the inflowing oil.
At the same time the counterpressure system works on the piston side of
the hydraulic cylinder. In the case described above, oil is pressed by
nitrogen pressure (5) out of the hydraulic piston accumulator (8) back into
the piston side of the hydraulic cylinder.
B: If the grinding rollers roll into a "grinding bed valley" the process is reversed.
Oil is pressed out of the hydraulic bladder accumulator in the working
pressure system into the piston rod side of the hydraulic cylinder. At the
same time, oil is displaced out of the piston side of the hydraulic cylinder
into the hydraulic piston accumulator.
The rollers continually make vertical movements in a certain working range (2)
due to the unevenness of the grinding bed. The processes described above
alternate continuously.
To run the mill in and shut it down it is possible to raise the rollers hydraulically
from the grinding bed. Due to varying resistance in the hydraulic system, the
rollers do not raise simultaneously but one after the other. Their movement is
limited mechanically at the top. Once all rollers have reached their top end
position this condition is signalled electrically.
P09961-M10X00.980 en Rev. A
95

Once the rollers are raised it is possible to start a mill in in its filled condition.
The mill motor must apply around 40% of its nominal torque when starting a
filled mill. The residual milled material on the table is ground extremely quickly
when the rollers are lowered. Lowering the rollers takes place with a delay after
switching on the material feed. For this reason, the grinding bed sets itself up
slowly. The required motor torque slowly increases to 100%. Full load operation
is achieved at around 30 seconds in this process.
A stop buffer prevents metallic contact between the roller tires on the grinding
roller and the grinding plates if the milled goods feed to the mill is interrupted
and the rollers are not hydraulically raised in time. The permissible lowest point
of the rollers is electrically monitored.
5.4.2
Spring characteristic
The hydropneumatic spring system together with the HSLM hydraulic cabinet
allows the roller force to be adapted to the grinding material being processed,
and to keep the grinding bed thickness constant within tight limits.
It consists of two separate systems, the so-called working system, which
provides the piston rod side with pressure and the counterpressure system,
which provides the piston side with pressure. Regulation normally takes place
depending on the current milling task.

5.4.3
Working pressure (spring stiffness) hydraulic bladder accumulator

Spring characteristic
The spring characteristic, in other words the spring stiffness, can be selected by
setting the ratio between the hydraulic working pressure p2 and the nitrogen
filling pressure in the hydraulic bladder accumulator p1 . The roller stiffness can
even be changed within certain limits during the operation without changing the
nitrogen filling pressure.
The following applies: the gas spring becomes stiffer the lower the filling
pressure and the higher the working pressure. Exact adjustment of the spring
characteristic is performed by LOESCHE personnel.
The "Diagram: Roller spring stiffness" states the limits which must be observed.
Procedure
The "Diagram: Roller spring stiffness" displays the roller stiffness cwf (= spring
stiffness related to the rollers) via the nitrogen (accumulator bladder) filling
pressure p1. The different hydraulic working pressures p2 or the roller forces FW
are displayed as parameters.

Sequence:

2. Selection of accumulator filling pressure p1 within operating area
3. Form intersection with vertical on bladder accumulator filling pressure and
p1 working pressure p2
4. Determine intersection horizontal on roller stiffness cwf and read off relevant
roller stiffness
The roller stiffness states by how much the force increases if the roller is
deflected by 1 mm.
P09961-M10X00.980 en Rev. A
97

The smaller the difference between p2 and p1, the softer the spring. This means
that the force increase for a soft spring is low if the roller is deflected. The
maximum p1 pressure of the nitrogen filling in the accumulator may not exceed
80% of the operating pressure p2, otherwise the rubber bladder may be
destroyed.
5.4.4
Counterpressure function
Introduction
The hydraulic cylinders are downstream of piston-side piston accumulators.
These ensure a harmonic sequence of oil exchange (due to roller movement)
during mill operation in this location.
Procedure
The function of the piston accumulator system requires a so-called
counterpressure on the cylinder piston side. The counterpressure should be
kept at a low level in order to counteract the spring characteristics of the pistonsided working pressure as little as possible. It must, however, always be
greater than 0.7 Mpa (7 bar).
Adjusting the hydraulic counterpressure p4 takes place depending on the
nitrogen filling pressure p3 in the piston accumulator.
NOTICE
The nitrogen filling pressure 3 in addition to the piston accumulator
counterpressure p4 may only be set within a range of 10 % of the values
stated in the "Diagram: Roller spring stiffness"!
During mill operation, the piston accumulator piston must be moving in the
central range of the piston accumulator stroke (guide value).
5.4.5
Roller relief pressure (RRP) partial load operation

General
If necessary, the facility is provided to operate the mill with roller relief.
A pre-requirement for partial load operation is the installation of a roller rotation
monitor (see chapter "5.2.8.1 Roller rotation monitor cpl." on page 69). It must
be ensured that the roller is turning during mill operation.
Procedure
In principle, the working pressure is regulated for higher load ranges and the
counterpressure is held at a low constant level. The commissioning engineer
will set the working system so that regulation of the roller force is possible from
100% down to around 50%. 100% working pressure (roller force) is the
necessary pressure to achieve maximum milled product performance, and it
varies with the job characteristics. If, however, a lower roller force than 50% is
required (partial load) the working pressure is kept at its minimum value and the
counterpressure is increased. This means that the effective working pressure
(and therefore the roller force) remains reduced.

5.4.6
Functions of hydropneumatic spring assembly system

WARNING
NOTICE
Possible damage to machine caused by improper operation!
Ensure that the LOESCHE hydraulic scheme (drawing "Scheme:
Hydraulics) is available in the HSLM.
Note
Operation of the HSLM must be carried out by at least one instructed person
who has been instructed or trained by a specialist in the tasks assigned to him
and the possible hazards of improper operation, in addition to the necessary
safety devices and safety measures.
(For valve settings, see "Scheme: Hydraulics" in the HSLM)

Oil supply to the hydraulic system takes place by the pump unit. Pump run-up is
only necessary during mill operation if leakage losses which could lead to
pressure drops need to be compensated. The HSLM outfeed pipes are fitted
with a pressure monitor in the hydraulic cabinet.
a) Increasing (raising) the working pressure
The working pressure setpoint and the regulation characteristics can be
preselected in the control engineering system. During the operation, the pump
runs automatically until the stated setting has been reached. The pump is
stopped as soon as the higher pressure is achieved.
b) Reducing (lowering) the working pressure
The working pressure setpoint and the regulation characteristics can be
preselected in the control engineering system.
Please check whether the ratio between the nitrogen filling pressure and the
hydraulic working pressure is within the permitted tolerance using the spring
diagram. If necessary, the nitrogen filling pressure must be corrected. This is
only permissible when the mill is at a standstill and the working pressure has
been completely relieved.
P09961-M10X00.980 en Rev. A
99

c) Increasing (raising) the counterpressure

The counterpressure setpoint and the regulation characteristics can be
preselected in the control engineering system. A valve closes once the higher
pressure has been reached.
d) Reducing (lowering) the counterpressure
The counterpressure setpoint and the regulation characteristics can be
preselected in the control engineering system. A valve closes as soon as the
lower pressure has been reached.
e) Raising the rollers
When in automatic operating mode, a solenoid valve is switched to the required
position in accordance with the hydraulic scheme. The process is carried out by
pressing the "Raise rollers" button when operating on-site.
The pump unit starts automatically and continues to run until all rollers have
reached their top end position, which is monitored by the proximity switch on the
rocker arms. After this, the pump unit is switched off automatically.
While the rollers are being raised, the working pressure value is increased.
Safety valves ensure that the maximum permissible system pressure cannot be
exceeded.
As an alternative, oil can be fed from the working pressure side to the
counterpressure side through a valve when the rollers are being raised. This
can take place depending on time or pressure. These settings will be made by a
LOESCHE engineer during commissioning.
f) Keep rollers raised (automatic operation)
If, due to leaks in the hydraulic system, one or more rollers leave their top end
position, the pump unit is started automatically in accordance with the "Raise
rollers" process.
g) Lowering rollers (automatic operation)
The oil flows from the counterpressure system back to the tank until the
counterpressure has been reached. The lowering speed of the rollers will be
determined by the LOESCHE commissioning engineer.
h) Reducing pressure
If the entire hydraulic system needs to be brought down to atmospheric
pressure, for example during accumulator filling pressure measurement or
during maintenance work, the hydraulic system must be enabled for "on-site
operation".
The regulating function is out of action.
Once the stopcock has been opened manually (in accordance with the function
tables on the hydraulic scheme) the oil will flow back to the tank.
i) Bypass filtering
The tank contents can be circulated automatically through the filter at specified
intervals by this regulation (in addition to normal main flow filtering).
Operationally-caused pump starts have priority compared with bypass filtering.

Spindle adjustment is performed by inserting a plate under the S roller on the
grinding route. Here the spindle is bolted from the outside to the S roller rocker
arm.
This adjustment ensures that there is no metallic contact between the S roller
and the grinding plate.
The adjustment must be checked in good time if the grinding parts are worn.
Connecting pipeline cpl.
Pipelines connect the HSSW hydraulic cabinet to the hydraulic cylinders of the
S rollers.
Hydraulic cabinet HSSW ...
The HSSW hydraulic cabinet provides the supply system for the hydraulic
positioning device of the S rollers.
Please see the separate manufacturer's documentation and the HSSW ....
hydraulic scheme for detailed information about the HSSW setup.
5.5.1
Mode of operation
The S rollers are adjusted during mill operation individually to a distance above
the metallic grinding route with the aid of the hydraulic positioning device.
The intention is for the S rollers to be rotated without slip by friction with the
grinding material and thereby for the grinding bed to be prepared for
subsequent crushing under the grinding rollers.
The height is dependent on the respective grinding material and is determined
during start-up. The height can be measured by means of stroke monitoring.
Deviations from this working height can occur during normal operation (see also
HSSW ... hydraulic scheme) under the following conditions:
Foreign bodies in the grinding material
Grinding bed too high
Oil leaks in the hydraulic system.

NOTICE
Possible damage to machine caused by improper operation!
Ensure that the LOESCHE hydraulic scheme (drawing "Scheme: Hydraulics
HSSW ) is available in the hydraulic cabinet HSSW.
Note
Operation of the HSSW must be carried out by at least one instructed
person who has been instructed or trained by a specialist in the tasks
assigned to him and the possible hazards of improper operation, in addition to
the necessary safety devices and safety measures.
(For valve settings, see "Scheme: Hydraulics" in the HSLM)
a) Raising the S roller
The S roller is raised after the control valve is switched and the pump is started.
The oil displaced from the other cylinder chamber flows via the adjustable flow
restrictor, the valve and the filter back into the tank.
b) Holding the S roller at the top
Hold the control valve in position 1. The pump only has to be started if the S
roller lowers due to an oil leak.
c) Lowering the S roller
The S roller is lowered after the control valve is switched and the pump is
started. The oil displaced from the other cylinder chamber flows via the
adjustable flow restrictor, the valve and the filter back into the tank.
d) Controlling the S roller in Service mode
"On-site operation" enabled by the control room. The regulating function is out
of action.
The S roller can be raised or lowered using the button integrated in the HSSW
hydraulic cabinet.

The "classifier housing cpl." assembly comprises the static parts of the
classifier:
The classifier lower housing is welded or bolted to the mill body.
One or two feeding chutes for the grinding material is/are integrated in the side
of the classifer lower housing. Two chutes serve to feed dry and moist grinding
material separately. They can additionally be equipped with shock blowers.
These remove any deposited material from the chutes by means of
intermittently escaping compressed air.
The grit funnel with support pipes is mounted in the classifier lower housing.
Flat bars in the grit funnel reduce the swirling rate of the grit, thereby reducing
wear.
106
P09961-M10X00.980 en Rev. A

Four passages are provided in the classifier lower housing to support the lower
rotor bearing. Support blocks are welded to the appropriate points on the
outside for mounting the bracing pipes (see also "Rotor support cpl." drawing).
The frame rests on the upper flange of the classifier lower housing. It
accommodates the guide vane carrier. Sectional rings are also attached in the
immediate vicinity to seal off the rotor and prevent coarse particles.
The classifier upper housing rests on the upper flange of the frame. An
inspection cover in the classifier upper housing enalbes this area to be
inspected and accessed.
The classifier upper housing directs and guides the dust/gas flow. It supports
the upper bearing with the suspended rotor and the drive unit. The outlet
connection on the classifier upper housing is connected to the overall grinding
plant.

The direction of rotation of the rotor is determined by the swirl generated by the
louvre ring and the alignment of the guide vanes or guide flaps in the classifier.
The "Upper bearing cpl." is centred by the classifier upper housing and is
screwed to the rotor. The mounting ring supplied with the machine is welded to
the classifier upper housing using the flat bar ring once the rotor has been
aligned.
Attached to the rotor underside is the "Lower bearing cpl." which centres the
rotor on the underside via the "Rotor support cpl.". The four bracing pipes of the
"Rotor support cpl." can be adjusted in length inside and are prestressed on the
outer side of the classifier lower housing.
The shaft inside of the upper bearing as well as the axle inside the lower
bearing are guided in roller bearings and lubricated with grease. The lubricant is
supplied via two separate lines (see "Classifier lubrication cpl." assembly).
The roller bearing temperature can be monitored continuously with a
temperature sensor (available as an optional extra).

If a shock blower is connected to the chute , the feed side requires additional
protect ion with lining shells. The outside of the chute and the area of the
incident air flow has to be protected with wear-restistant lining shells.
The supports of the grit funnel and the bearing cartridge as well as the
connecting pipeline of the shock blower ha ve to be protected against wear with
angular lining sheets.
The area of the incident air flow around the grit funnel can be protected with
wear-restistant material eg. ceramics.

The gearbox is supported by a bell housing which is centred and secured on the
bearing cartridge or the upper bearing housing of the "rotor cpl." assembly.
Once the gearbox has been aligned with the rotor shaft, it is pinned to the bell
housing as showing in the drawings. An elastic coupling transmits torque from
the gearbox to the rotor shaft.
The electric motor and its support console are aligned with the gearbox input
shaft during assembly. The console is then welded to the classifier upper
housing as indicated in the drawings.
There is also an elastic coupling between the motor and the gearbox. The
coupling is protected by a coupling guard.
The rotation of the rotor is monitored. This is achieved using a fixed proximity
switch and a castellated disc which turns with the rotor shaft.
The rotor speed is adapted to meet the dust grain size requirements of the
material to be classified. This is achieved steplessly by adjusting the motor
frequency; such changes can be made during active operation of the classifier.

The classifier lubrication line lubricates the two roller bearings in the "bearing
cartridge cpl." assembly (in the case of larger classifiers there are two separate
assemblies, "upper bearing cpl." and "lower bearing cpl.").
The lubrication pump and its grease container are attached to a mounting plate
on the classifier upper housing on the classifier platform (classifier drive) or
towards the top of the classifier lower housing. The arrangement of components
and the route of the lubrication line will vary from one machine to another;
please refer to the corresponding assembly drawings for information. A single
lubrication line runs from the pump outlet to a distributor to which the two
lubrication lines for the upper and lower bearings are connected.
The filling level in the dispensing vessel is usually monitored. If it sinks under a
specific level, this is signaled in the control room.
The running time of the pump and the required grease volume are specified in
"Lubrication scheme: Classifier lubrication line".

Installation
Installation
It is always preferable to have the machine installed by a specialist engineer
from LOESCHE GmbH. If you choose to have the machine installed by a
specialist assembly company, that company must provide personnel with
experience in the assembly of heavy industrial machinery. The work of the
assembly companies involved must be carefully co-ordinated.
The area in and around which the machine is to be assembled and installed
must be sealed off.
The figures used in the description which appears below are for illustrative
purposes only. The drawings, installation diagrams and the plant layout
included in the scope of supply must be referred to when assembling and
installing the machine.
The customer must provide the various lifting devices and tools, load-bearing
equipment, lifting gear, racks and supporting structures required for assembly
and installation.
The assembly sequence will vary depending on local conditions on site. These
include the available space, the load-bearing capacities of floors, the availability
of power points, etc.
Solid and even foundations are vital to achieving the best installation and
assembly results with regard to angularity, evenness and dimensional accuracy.
It is equally important when assembling and installing system components on
the corresponding machine. The assembly and installation reports for these
system components must be inspected before the assembly and installation of
the classifier can commence, in order that their integrity can be verified.
Check the structure of the building/foundation to ensure that it is able to
support the load of the machines and ensure that any additional support
necessary has been put in place.
Keep the routes leading to the area in which the machines are being
assembled and installed clear in order that the process of assembling the
machines will not be hindered.

Cold start-up
Note
Cold start-up can only be carried out or monitored by a LOESCHE
commissioning engineer, who is normally an electrotechnician or
electrotechnical engineer with procedural knowledge.
The following is merely a brief summary of the complex procedures for
commissioning a LOESCHE mill.
Definition of the term cold start-up

Cold start-up is the term used for initial start-up of a plant without feeding the
goods to be milled.
8.1.1
Requirements
In order to commence cold start-up, the mechanical and electrical fitting work
must be completed and the fitting acceptance protocol must be signed.
8.1.2
Applicable documents
The following documents must be taken into account for carrying out cold startup.
1. LOESCHE documentation:
Fitting instructions
Documentation for electrical equipment
Start-stop sequences
Interlocking diagrams
Hydraulic schemes
Lubrication instructions
List of electrical consumers
Instrument list
UM datasheets (machine monitoring)
UP datasheets (process control)
Protocols, checklists, forms
Drawings
2. Supplier's documentation
The LOESCHE company accepts absolutely no liability for damages which are
caused by non-observance of this manual for cold start-up and all further
applicable documentation.
132
P09961-M10X00.980 en Rev. A

Commissioning
8.1.3
Extent of cold start-up

If possible, commissioning should ideally take place in the opposite direction to
material flow. For the most part, however, the sequence of commissioning is
determined by which plant components are already finally assembled and
electrically connected.
During cold commissioning each individual plant component is first started up.
The commissioning engineer here must check in each case whether all the
stipulated preconditions are satisfied. Preconditions applicable to every plant
component:
The plant component is mechanically correctly installed
The plant component is electrically connected
The plant component is pre-filled with the required media
In addition, it is necessary for different plant components to satisfy different
preconditions, which are always listed in the relevant chapter on cold
commissioning.
The commissioning engineer monitors the tests carried out by customer
personnel and, if necessary, the rectification of any faults occurring. He/she also
logs the test results.
After this, plant components are matched to each other in groups using
sequence tests.
The cold run for the entire plant is then carried out for calibration and for the
presetting of process variables and controlled process variables. The cold run
also includes heating up the plant using the hot gas source. Material is not fed
in during this phase. The results of the cold run are logged by the
commissioning engineer.
After the successful completion of sequence tests and the cold run itself, cold
commissioning is deemed to be completed.
The plant is handed over to the commissioning engineer who is to perform hot
commissioning together with the protocols of the idle running test and the
testing of the start/stop sequences and interlockings.

Cold start-up sequence

DANGER
Wide range of hazards!
Secure hazard areas with safety devices or, if necessary, blocking off!
Sound an acoustic warning signal before starting any drives!
NOTICE
Before starting any drive, always ensure that no other plant components can
be damaged!
The cold start-up of individual plant components normally follows a particular

scheme:
1. The commissioning manager checks the correct mechanical assembly of
components.
2. The commissioning manager checks that components are correctly
electrically connected.
3. The commissioning manager checks the control system hardware and
software in accordance with the LOESCHE interlocking diagram.
4. The commissioning manager sets the time delays (timer) and values for
warning or alarm in the hardware and software in agreement with the
LOESCHE UM and UP datasheets.
5. The commissioning manager checks that all lubricants have been filled up
in accordance with the LOESCHE lubricant list.
6. The commissioning manager carries out signal tests (I/O checks) on the
relevant electrical consumers and instruments.
7. The commissioning manager ensures that motors are rotating in the right
direction.
8. The commissioning manager parameterises the instruments in accordance
with the LOESCHE and supplier documentation.
9. The commissioning manager checks interlocking in accordance with the
LOESCHE interlocking diagram.
10. The commissioning manager checks whether motors are coupled to the
associated machines using supplier documentation.
11. The commissioning manager tests the function and interlocking of
appropriate components during a trial run.
12. If the relevant components have been commissioned, the commissioning
manager carries out a function and trial run (sequence test) on the
component groups.
13. Once all component groups have been commissioned, the commissioning
manager carries out a cold run for the entire plant in accordance with the
LOESCHE starting sequence. This start includes heating up the system with
the hot gas producer or another hot gas source. Material is not fed in.
134
P09961-M10X00.980 en Rev. A

Commissioning
14. The commissioning manager checks the sequential and processing into
locks in accordance with LOESCHE documentation.
15. The commissioning manager runs the entire plant down in accordance with
the LOESCHE stop sequence.
16. The commissioning manager tests the emergency stop sequence in
accordance with the LOESCHE emergency stop sequence diagram.
8.2
Warm start-up
Note
Hot commissioning can only be carried out or monitored by a qualified
LOESCHE commissioning engineer, who is normally an electrical engineer or a
mechanical engineer with process engineering knowledge.
Definition
Hot commissioning is the term used for initial start-up of a plant including
feeding the raw material to be ground. It follows on in the LOESCHE sequence
diagram at the point where cold commissioning was concluded: With material
feed.
Hot commissioning is divided into the following phases:
1.
First warm-up
2.
Plant stop
3.
First inspection
4.
Optimisation phase
5.
Performance verification test
6.
Verification of reliability
7.
Performance run
8.
Handover to the operator
Objectives
The objectives of hot commissioning are
1.
integrating the LOESCHE mill with classifier and the customer's scope of
supply into the normal operational sequence of the grinding plant.
2.
achieving stable grinding operation.
3.
achieving the contractually warranted product qualities.
4.
achieving the contractually warranted product quantities.
5.
achieving the contractually warranted values.
Preconditions
To be able to begin hot commissioning, it is necessary to satisfy the following
conditions:
The plant cold run has been successfully completed and the necessary
protocols and reports have been drawn up, signed and handed over in
accordance with the LOESCHE overview of protocols, reports and drafts for
commissioning.
P09961-M10X00.980 en Rev. A
135

Commissioning
8.3
All the plant components are in full working order, ready for operation and
safe in accordance with the supplier's documentation.
The operator makes available feed material in/of sufficient quantity and
quality so that the start of hot commissioning is not delayed and
measurement results are not negatively influenced.
The operator makes available further consumables required such as e.g.
electric current, water, air, hot gases, oil, lubricant, fuel, etc. in/of sufficient
quantity and quality so that the start of hot commissioning is not delayed
and measurement results are not negatively influenced.
The operator makes available sufficiently qualified and experienced
personnel so as to ensure 24-hour operation. The operator must also make
available standby personnel for repairs.
The operator makes available all the required tools, vehicles, machines and
spare parts.
The operator ensures that measurements and settings can be carried out
on all plant components.
All protective devices are adjusted, in proper working order and ready for
operation.
The LOESCHE commissioning engineer is knowledgeable about the plant
documentation such as e.g. heat balances, spring stiffness, layouts and
settings.
The operator warrants the fault-free functioning of its scope of supply by
means of written release.
Commissioning the hydraulic system

Commissioning is performed in this order:
Check the position of the hand valves in the hydraulic system in accordance
with the drawing "Scheme: Hydraulic HSLM ..." and "Scheme: Hydraulic
HSSW ...".
Check electrical monitors and locks in accordance with the electrical
documentation.
Fill the hydraulic accumulators with nitrogen. The filling pressure is
determined during commissioning by the LOESCHE running-in engineer.
Leaded safety valves (6....) in the HSLM hydraulic cabinet must be
examined for undamaged lead seals.
Fill the overall hydraulic system with prescribed oil up to the upper tank
marking - including pipelines and cylinders.
Clean the overall hydraulic system with flushing oil.
Adjust the proximity limit switches on the rocker arms in accordance with
the "Rocker arm monitor cpl." drawing (see mill parts list). These limits
switches are mounted on each rocker arm.
Bleed the hydraulic system several times until the system is completely gasfree.
Preserve the piston rods of the hydraulic cylinders on the S rollers.
8.4
Commissioning the hydraulic positioning device for support rollers (S)

When commissioning the mill and when making important changes to the
grinding material composition, it is necessary to determine the correct working
height for the support rollers by testing. The aim is to minimise the vibration
velocity of the mill in order to ensure safe and fault-free machine operatioin.
The following measures, which are carried out during commissioning by the
LOESCHE running-in engineer, are required:
136
P09961-M10X00.980 en Rev. A

Commissioning
Raising or lowering of the support rollers in 5 - 10 mm increments until their

swinging range is covered. The initial height of the support roller is freely
preselected.
Noting down of the values of support roller speed and relative mill vibration
velocity (measured on the mill body) in a table for each working height.
Raising or lowering of all the S rollers in the same direction at the same time
during measurement.
After measurement the LOESCHE running-in enginerr adjusts for Automatic
mode the working height for the S rollers at which the mill vibrations are
minimal.
The throttle valves are adjusted and checked by the LOESCHE running-in
engineer during commissioning. They influence the lowering and raising speed
of the support rollers. The LOESCHE running-in engineer adjusts the throttle
valves in such a way that the pressure reducer valve does not open during the
normal raising operation (see "Hydraulic scheme HSSW ...).
8.5
8.5.1
Starting the mill when unfilled or filled

Master rollers (M)
After the hydropneumatic spring assembly system of the rollers is electrically
enabled, the following processes occur automatically in accordance with the
electrical sequence plan. The respective position of the hand and solenoid
valves is set out in the function table in the drawing "Scheme: Hydraulic
HSLM ...".
The rollers are raised until a mechanical stop is reached (the end of movement
is determined by limitation of the piston stroke on the cylinder cover).
After all the rollers have reached their upper position, the relevant pump motor
is switched off by the proximity switches.
Note
While the pistons move out of the cylinder when the rollers are raised, the
pressure in the working pressure and counterpressure systems rises in relation
to the set pressure as long as the solenoid valve(s) is/are not activated.
The regulating function is out of action while the rollers are raised or lowered.
The higher working pressure or counterpressure can be read off at the relevant
pressure gauges (see drawing "Scheme: Hydraulic HSLM ...").
If, while the rollers are raised, a pressure loss occurs in the system, e.g. due to
leakage oil, one or more rollers move downwards. The respective high-pressure
pump starts automatically to counteract this. It runs until the switching point of
the upper proximity switch is reached again.
During the "Lower rollers" process the rollers move downwards in response to
the force of gravity and the additional force of the gas cushion in the
accumulators onto the table. The regulating function is out of action while the
rollers are being lowered.
In order to ensure that the rollers are immersed slowly into the grinding bed as
they are lowered, the return oil to the tank is routed via an adjustable flow
restrictor.
The relevant preconditions for activating the individual processes can also be
taken from the sequence diagram in the LOESCHE electrical documentation.
P09961-M10X00.980 en Rev. A
137

Commissioning
8.5.2
Support rollers (S)

The processes of the hydraulic positioning device of the support rollers also
take place in parallel to the M rollers after electrical enabling, whereby the
respective position oif the hand and solenoid valves can be taken from the table
featured in the drawing "Scheme: Hydraulic HSSW ...".
The relevant preconditions for activating the individual processes can also be
taken from the sequence diagram in the LOESCHE electrical documentation.
8.5.3
Shutting down the mill during normal operation

If the mill is to be stopped, transportation of the grinding material is shut down.
The mill motor can be deactivated with a delay if after a few rotations the
grinding material still on the table has been thrown off as a result of centrifugal
force.
When the supply of material is interrupted, the hydraulic pressure is usually
switched over in the hydropneumatic spring assembly system to the piston side
of the spring assembly cylinders, which causes the master rollers to be lifted off
the table.
The process runs in the same way when the S rollers are raised.
8.5.4
Emergency Stop
In the event of an emergency stop or a power failure, both the master rollers
and the support rollers remain in contact with the grinding material. It takes
max. one rotation to brake the table.
8.5.5
On-site operation
In the event of maintenance work enabling is performed for "on-site operation"
by the control room. The regulating function is out of action.
The rollers can then be raised at the HSLM and HSSW hydraulic cabinets,
whereby the pumps are started on site.

The following control elements can be located on the local control panel
(determined by the operator):
1. Maintenance switch (rotary switch), optional
The component is connected to or disconnected from the power supply by
actuating the maintenance switch.
DANGER
Accident hazard!
If the maintenance switch is switched off for the performance of cleaning,
maintenance and repair work, it must be mechanically secured against
unintentional switching on through the use of a padlock.
2. Emergency Stop button (red palm button switch), optional
The complete grinding plant is brought to a safe operating state when this
button is actuated. The Emergency Stop button can be released again by
pulling or turning counterclockwise/clockwise.
3. On (green illuminated pushbutton), optional
The control system is switched on when this button is actuated; lights up
permanently after switching on.

9.2.1
Operating modes
Local operation
For the performance of refurbishing, maintenance and repair work all the
electrical drives can be switched over from their local control points to Manual
mode and thereby operated. (Determined by the operator)
This may occur only after consultation with the responsible plant operator and is
permitted only when the plant is stopped. The plant fails complete when
switched over from Automatic mode to Local mode during operation.
All the designated locks must be activated for Local mode so as to ensure that
the individual machines are protected.
Process-relevant locks are partially deactivated.
In Local mode the operator bears the responsibility for operating individual
components of the plant. Operation of individual components and of machine or
plant components may only be performed by experienced and specially trained
persons, taking into account potential effects on persons and plant components.
140
P09961-M10X00.980 en Rev. A

Operation
9.2.2
Automatic mode
In normal operation the complete plant is operated in Automatic mode. The
complete plant is controlled and monitored here from the central control room.
NOTICE
Operation of the complete plant is permitted for production only in Automatic
mode!
All the designated locks must always be activated. This guarantees the
protection of persons and of the individual machines and prevents longer plant
stoppages on account of damaged machines.
9.3
9.3.1
Switching the grinding plant on and off

Switching the plant on
Before starting the grinding plant, especially after a longer stoppage, inspect the
complete plant to ensure that all openings and access doors in the grinding
circuit are closed, tools have been removed and auxiliary scaffolding and
platforms have been disassembled.
Also check:
Stop cocks ahead of the transducers opened, all measurements ready for
operation, 0 point and measuring ranged adjusted and checked
Start up all the shut-off devices in the mill lube-oil circuit
Check the oil level in the mill gearbox and after an inspection, correcting if
necessary
Oil level in the gearbox of the grinding-stock feeder OK
Oil level at the bearing block of the mill blower OK
Before starting after an extended stoppage, run all the flap drives locally
once. Check external "OPEN" / "CLOSED" end position to ensure
operational reliability
The shut-off devices of the mill hydraulic system are in the operating
position in accordance with the hydraulic scheme
Grinding stock present in the feeder, layer height > min.
9.3.2
Starting the grinding circuit

If scheduled by the operator, it is possible after commissioning is completed to
start the complete plant by actuating the corresponding button (Master
Start/Stop - Start button).
The individual sequences are started automatically as soon as the start
conditions are satisfied.
Independently of the above, however, the operator can start the grinding plant
in individual steps as follows:

Auxiliary units "ON"
The lube-oil pump of the mill gearbox should remain in operation in winter in
order to keep the lube-oil circuit at an operating temperature of min. 15 C.
Note
The lube-oil temperature must be > 15 C before the mill is started.
The group is started by actuating the corresponding button (Mill auxiliary

drives).
The following functions are executed with this command:
Lube-oil pump of mill gearbox ON, coolant on standby
Note: If the oil temperature rises to > 30C, a control valve in the coolant
line opens automatically
Classifier drive ON
Mill hydraulic system ON, "Raise rollers

All the rollers are in the "Top Position
When the corresponding button
(Mill motor) is actuated, the mill motor is started.
Note
The list of limit values containing the setting parameters and operating data for
the grinding plant is created during commissioning(IBN) depending on the raw
material
Start "Grinding operation"
Requirement:
Grinding operation is started by actuating the corresponding button (Mill
material feed).
Program sequence:
The gas volume ahead of the mill approaches the start setpoint value
Start of the grinding-stock feeder with the start setpoint value; see list of
limit values
Lowering of the grinding rollers after start of material feed; waiting time,
see list of limit values.
When the back pressure has reached the setpoint value, the grinding plant is
properly in grinding mode.
142
P09961-M10X00.980 en Rev. A

Operation
Automatic pressure control becomes active after a short waiting period. The
feeder speed can be increased in several increments while observing the mill
outlet temperature. If this start is implemented fully automatically, the different
moisture of the feed material must be taken into consideration. In other words, 2
start sequences must be developed where necessary for summer and winter
operation.
9.3.4
Operating the grinding plant

The grinding plant is in stable grinding mode after the start sequence is
completed and the setpoint value for the feeder speed has been reached. All
the control loops are in Automatic mode. If a "warning" is issued, the operator
must react accordingly and re-establish a normal operating state through
appropriate manual interventions. In hazardous situations the grinding plant
must be powered down in case of doubt. (Change of setpoint values, rotational
speeds, flap positions...). The essential control loops and principles for constant
grinding operation are described in the following.
Monitoring of differential pressure over mill
The differential pressure over mill is a value calculated from the measured
pressure after mill and the measured pressure before mill.
The differential pressure rises as the feed quantity increases. Furthermore, a
change in grindability from easy to hard at a constant working pressure is
manifested in a rise in the pressure loss over mill.
The limit value for the differential pressure must be set accordingly. Max.
setpoint value, see list of limit values.
Note
When the plant resistance rises above the setpoint value, sufficient internal
material circulation in the mill is no longer guaranteed on account of an
inadequate gas volume through the mill.
Consequences:
The grinding plant becomes increasingly unsteady, vibrations increase
There is an increased incidence of rejects
The setpoint gas volume can no longer be achieved.
Control of temperature after mill
The gas temperature is set during commissioning depending on the residual
moisture in the finished stock. The temperature is measured in the classifier
outlet of the grinding plant.
In situations in which an automatic correction of deviations from the setpoint
value is not possible, limit monitors send signals to the central control room. In
the interests of guaranteeing machine safety, an alarm is issued or an
intervention is made in the process control system (detailed structrure, see
electrical documentation).
Note
During grinding drying the setpoint value for temperature control after mill must
not be < 80 C, as otherwise sufficient drying of the grinding stock is no longer
guaranteed.
P09961-M10X00.980 en Rev. A
143

Operation
Measuring the air flow after filter

A constant air flow through the mill is an essential requirement for stable
grinding operation and consistent product quality.
The minimum gas volume is determined among other things by the amount of
reject material obtained. Increasing the gas volume has negative effects on the
kWh demand of the mill blower and on wear in the mill.
The setpoint value for the gas volume is specified by the operator, the gas
volume is maintained by the swirl flap or by the variable speed of the mill
blower.
Product quality
Comminution is dependent on:
Feed quantity
Total gas volume
Working pressure
Classifier speed
Feed moisture of the grinding stock
The level of the working pressure has a direct influence on the product quantity
/ quality.
Reducing the working pressure results in the case of a high feed quantity in a
rise in the differential pressure over mill and in the case of extreme changes in
increased rejection of grinding stock via the louvre ring into the reject boxes.
The classifier speed should, on account of the required grinding fineness, be
adjusted to the currently measured product fineness.
9.3.5
Switching the plant off

Intentional powering down of the grinding plant is performed by actuating the
corresponding button (Master Start/Stop - Stop button).
Material feed is automatically stopped. The stop sequence is explained in detail
in the electrical documentation.
The mill motor runs on to ensure that the grinding table is emptied to the
greatest possible extent. The grinding plant can be started up from this state
during the next start by the operator.
If an extended grinding-plant stoppage is scheduled
(> 1 week), the following plant components can be shut down by the operator.
Stop - gearbox lubrication
Stop HSLM
(See electrical documentation).
Note
Gearbox lubrication should wherever possible remain in continuous operation in
the winter months.

9.3.6
Unlocking the Emergency Stop functions

The Emergency Stop function is unlocked after the cause has been eliminated

Emergency Stop indication is performed from the central control room (for
details, see electrical documentation).
9.4
9.4.1
Failure of power supplies

Switching the plant off in the event of a power failure
The following plant components are protected by an uninterruptible power
system against failure for 30 minutes:
Plant control system (SPC), optional
Plant visualisation, optional
Gas analysis (if provided), (exception: tracing)
In the event of an extended power failure (> 30 min), the operator must supply
the above-mentioned safety-relevant plant components with power by means of
a separate power supply (e.g. diesel generator). When electrical power is
restored, the plant must be returned to its basic setting and restarted.
9.4.2
Switching the plant off in the event of a hydraulic-system failure

When hydraulic pressure is restored, the plant component or if necessary the
plant must be returned to its basic setting and restarted.

11.4.1 Lubrication
NOTICE
Use only lubricants which are featured in the LOESCHE lubricants list.
156
All lubrication points are lubricated with grease.

Follow the notes and instructions in the lubricant tables when carrying out
lubrication tasks.
The lubrication points on the plant must be regularly lubricated with the aid
of appropriate lubrication tools.
On larger mills all the lubrication bores are connected to a central grease
lubrication system.
The lubrication intervals must be determined by the operator on the basis of
the operating hours to be performed by the plant.
All lubrication bores are sealed by grease nipples during transportation.
The piston and piston rods in the hydraulic cylinders are lubricated
automatically by the hydraulic oil (oil change in accordance with
maintenance table).
On larger raw meal and clinker/slag grinding plants the roller bearings are
lubricated by the HSMS (see parts lists or delivery contract). Refer to the
lubricant table for oil quantity and oil quality.
When lubricating gearboxes, follow the instructions in the separate
manufacturer instruction manuals.
Mechanical damage to pipes must be repaired immediately. Hoses must be
checked on a regular basis as to their good condition and if necessary
replaced.
The grease containers of the lubrication pumps must be regularly refilled
with the grease specified in the lubricant table. The cover of the grease
container must be sealed tight to prevent dust from getting into the
container.
The rod head and hydraulic cylinder roller bearings are kneaded full of
grease. Re-greasing the bearing takes place using a hand grease gun on
the grease nipples at long periods in accordance with the maintenance
table. Since the bearings are moved through small pivoting angles, grease
consumption is low. The grease has a long useful life.

The "0" setting of the grinding roller can be set on a scale on the rocker arm
using a fixable pointer on the mill body cover. To do this, the rollers need to
be in the lowest position. When the mill is operating, the scale moves
relative to the fixed pointer. Both the median grinding bed thickness and the
thickness variation can be read off.
After a certain operating duration, the indicator gives information about
the grinding roller wear condition.
Ensure that the door seals are replaced in time to prevent leak air entry.
Inspect the lining plates regularly for wear. Heavily damaged plates can be

Maintenance
11.4.5 Maintenance: Table cpl.

NOTICE
Damage hazard for mill parts
Strong currents are produced during electrical welding work, which can
damage sensitive components.
The earth must be connected immediately next to the welding location
during all welding work on the grinding plant to avoid bearing damage.
It is also important to connect the earthing cable to the gearbox (see
gearbox manufacturer's documentation).
Damage hazard for grinding plates and table!
Doing operation, the table casting achieves steady state temperatures of
over 100 C. Once the mill has been switched off, do not open reject flaps
and mill doors immediately.
Allow the table to cool down to around 60 C before opening the grinding
plant to avoid thermal tension and crack formation in the table due to
exposure to cold air.
Do not use liquids to accelerate this process!
Grinding plate
The grinding plate material is very brittle. Cracked grinding plate segments
must, however, only be replaced if pieces have broken off which cause holes in
the milling route. The intended lifetime is normally achieved by wedging any
cracked grinding plate parts.
You should replace the grinding plate at the latest if the mill throughput
performance has fallen below that given in a guarantee data.
Replacing the grinding plates is not necessary if the tires are only worn.
NOTICE
Only one clamping ring segment per grinding plate segment (see figure)!
Falsely fitted clamping rings lead to insufficient fixing of the grinding plate
segments. Wear to the table collar or grinding plate segment breakage can
result.
Ensure the clamping ring is correctly assembled.

Fig. 61: Grinding plate segment alignment
Key
1 Table casting
2 Grinding plate
3 Clamping ring
4 Correct alignment (1 clamping ring segment for 1 grinding plate segment)
When hard-facing the grinding plates in the mill, observe the operating
manual for the mobile welding equipment (see manufacturer's
documentation).
Amour ring
If segments have varying levels of wear, rearrange the segments to avoid
damage to the primary gas flow and any consequential damages. This
increases the armour ring lifetime considerably.
Scatter ring (applies only to appropriate LM version)
The scatter ring should have a small a gap as possible to the appropriate
counter ring on the louvre ring.
To reduce the mill power consumption, remove the relevant scatter ring
segment and align it if it has been deformed by the presence of foreign
bodies and scrapes across the rings.
If necessary, you can set the ring a little higher by fitting washers to avoid
contact with the louvre ring.
Dam ring
Constant dam ring height around the entire table circumference is a basic
requirement for smooth mill running.
P09961-M10X00.980 en Rev. A
161

Maintenance
You should even out unevenness and dents which occur due to wear or
contact with foreign bodies as quickly as possible. If items are worn, the
entire metal ring wearing insert can be burnt out and replaced by a new flat
iron ring (see also "Work instructions: Assembly of dam edge", whose
number is in the parts list.
If the effective dam ring height has become larger due to wear to the
grinding parts at around half way through the mills and effective service life,
the dam ring height can be reduced to the initial effective height in order to
achieve the original specific power consumption (kWh/t) as closely as
possible.
Louvre ring
Individual louvre ring segments can be replaced. Segments with varying wear
can be exchanged with one another. The component lifetime will be increased
by such evening out.
To remove a segment, burn two short strips of metal which are welded to
the ring duct and the segment out. When inserting new segments, locate
them so that the gap between the segments is as small as possible, and fix
each segment with new metal strips to the ring duct.

11.4.6 Maintenance: Rocker arms

Rocker arm (M) cpl.
When replacing rollers, observe the location of the separating slits in the
tapered sleeves in accordance with construction drawing "Rocker arm cpl.".
The clamping connection between fork and axle must be tight during operation.
Even minimum play in this clamping connection leads to immediate deflection of
the fork drillhole and the danger of fork breakage.
Lubricate all bearing locations continuously since lubrication interruption
leads to seizure of the bearing seats (see operating manual "Lubrication line
cpl.").
When transporting the rocker arm, use lifting brackets. They are included in
delivery and shown on the assembly drawings.
If a transparent hose is fitted to the rocker arm, check it for leaking oil. This
can run from the sealing air chamber down to the M rocker arm axle. If
leaking oil is found, check the roller slip-ring seal.
Replace the stop plate at the bottom end of the fork if it becomes deformed
due to regular contact with the spring buffer.
Rocker arm (S) cpl.
Plain bearings are provided with solid lubricant for lifetime.
In fact no further greasing is required.
check the fastening screws of the axle pins for being tight during periodical
inspections of the mill.
Lever Sealing (M) cpl.
Ensure there is a narrow gap between standing and moving parts.
Always support the rubber strips on both sides with metal strips. The rubber
strip should protrude past the metal strips by maximum 2 mm. Larger
protrusion means excessive working in the rubber and the danger of
breakage due to fatigue.
If the armour ring becomes worn, replace it in good time to protect the
sealing air seals from becoming worn externally.
Carry out regular checks for wear on the highly wear-resistant lining plates
on the sealing cap; replace them early before basic body components of the
sealing cap can be affected.
Lever Sealing (S) cpl.
Because the S rocker arm is only moved relatively infrequently, major wear is
not expected on the lever sealing.
Replace a boot if worn.

Check the effectiveness of sealing air sealing by placing the flat of your
hand on the drillholes leading outwards from the sealing cap through the
rocker arm. Your hand must be noticeably sucked in if the sealing function
is correct. If this is not the case, either the gap between the sealing sleeve
and the sealing cap on the rocker arm has become too large due to wear, or
the sealing cap has become soiled with dust on the inside.
In the first case, the 2-part rings on the sealing sleeve which form the
rinsing air gap must be replaced; In the second case, these spaces should
be cleaned out as quickly as possible by removing the complete rollers,
otherwise there is serious danger of damage to the roller bearings.
Removing the roller

1 Swing the roller out of the mill together with the rocker arm
2 Release the clamping sleeves in accordance with the "Auxiliary
equipment cpl." instruction manual
3 When reassembling, note the location of the slits in the conical clamping
sleeves in accordance with the drawing
4 Caulk the slits in the taper sleeve in accordance with the group drawing
("Rocker arm (M) cpl.") gas tight with lead so that no sealing gas can
escape or so that no dust can enter.
Checking the roller bearings:

1 Close off the sealing air drill hole in the roller axle in accordance with
information on the drawing to prevent oil discharging from this area.
2 Bring the roller into the vertical position using the swinging-out device.
3. Remove the hub cover, check the bearings
4. When you refit the hub cover, you must fit a new O-ring in each case.
You may only use cast O-rings in accordance with the parts list

Maintenance
Slip-ring seal (M- and S-rollers)

NOTICE
Note limit temperature!
Exceeding the contractually agreed limit temperature for the male leads to
hardening of the elastomer O-rings and therefore to early failure of the seal.
The slip-ring seal is a wear part, and therefore leads to be replaced regularly (at
the latest before each major change) to avoid damage to the roller bearings due
to leakage.
The condition of the slip-ring seal can only be checked indirectly. When the
rollers are swung out, the oil runs downwards out of the roller bearing space
through the central drillhole in the axle.
If the drained-off oil has heavy colouring due to microscopic suspended
particles, it is possible that the slip-ring seal is worn.
In this case, disassemble the rollers and check the condition of the slip ring.
Slip rings should only be replaced as pairs.
Tire
A tire profile ruler has been supplied with the "Auxiliary equipment cpl."
assembly for checking roller tire wear. You can find information about setting it
up and using it in the chapter "Auxiliary equipment: Tire profile ruler".
When hard-facing the roller tire, observe the instruction manual for the
mobile welding equipment (see manufacturer's documentation).

During the swinging-out movement of the roller, the oil, intended for the
lubrication of the roller bearings, returns through the breather bore of the roller
axle. The swinging-out procedure should be slow enough to give the oil
sufficient time, even at low temperatures and high viscosity, to flow to the rear
end of the roller axle.
Conversion Sequence:
Disconnect the two hoses from the rear end of the roller axle.
Remove all three adapters.
Install the new adapter with sealing ring, the two fittings and the self-sealing
coupling into the upper right hand tapped hole.
Seal the two remaining holes with plugs and sealing rings.
P09961-M10X00.980 en Rev. A

Maintenance
After swinging-out the roller, fit the selfsealing coupling onto the oil suction
hose (larger diameter) and connect to the previously fitted coupling on the
axle.
Whilst the oil flows away to the tank the upper left plug must be removed to
allow air to replace the oil.
Watch the oil level in the sight class of the HSMS. When it ceases to rise
the bulk of the oil will have been drained from the roller.

Maintenance
11.4.8 Maintenance: Spring assembly cpl.

WARNING
Hydraulic overpressure!
Possible serious injuries
To prevent accidents, any maintenance work on a hydraulic system may
only be carried out once the oil pressure has been completely relieved.
Lubrication
The rod head and hydraulic cylinder roller bearings are kneaded full of grease.
Re-greasing the bearing takes place using a hand grease gun on the grease
nipples at long periods in accordance with the maintenance table.
The piston and piston rods in the hydraulic cylinder are lubricated automatically
by the hydraulic oil. The maintenance table also applies to oil changes in this
case.
Leaked oil
Lubricant replacement takes place according to the information in the
maintenance table.
Leaked oil from the piston rod-sided working space which flows past the piston
seals is automatically transported back into the tank via the piston-sided
cylinder space by piston movements. If leaked oil quantities become too large,
this can be seen in the shortened switch-on intervals used by the high-pressure
pump because the working pressure is dissipated very quickly. In this case, the
seals need to be replaced on the piston.
Leaked oil in the piston rod movement area of the cylinder is visible from
outside and points to wear in the sleeve gaskets.
Couplings
Check all hose, tube and flanged couplings regularly.
Since the hydraulic piping is subject to pulsating pressure, it is possible that
some couplings will loosen during operation.
Always retighten loosened couplings immediately.
Hoses
Check hoses in the cylinder area, especially after fitting work, for external
damage or ageing cracks. Replace them if necessary.
Hydraulic accumulator
The hydraulic accumulator is supplied with a gas filling pressure of 1 MPa
(=10 bar) so that the oil valve located in the floor can be closed safely and so
that the oil chamber is protected against the penetration of foreign bodies. You
can find more information in the separate HSLM operating manual.
Hydraulic cylinder
The hydraulic system needs to be depressurised before carrying out any
maintenance work on the hydraulic cylinder. Once the covers have been
removed from the mill stand, the bolts can be pulled out of the hydraulic
P09961-M10X00.980 en Rev. A

Maintenance
cylinder. After this, take the bolts out of the rod head in a similar manner,
uncouple the hydraulic piping and dismantle the hydraulic cylinder. Please see
the manufacturer's documentation for more information.
Roller bearings
If there is bearing damage to the rod head or a rod end bearing on the hydraulic
cylinder, the corresponding bearing bolts must be drawn.
The spherical roller bearing seat on the bolts should be treated with roller
bearing lubricant when replacing bearings so that removing the bolt is made
easier. Otherwise, roller bearings are maintenance-free.

11.4.9 Maintenance: Hydraulic accumulators

Mineral oils release certain quantities of gases which can discharge from the
mill during operation.
Since this air bubble formation can lead to damage to hydraulic components,
the hydraulic system needs to be regularly vented after initial start-up (monthly).
The gas quantity is operationally and medium-dependent. For this reason, the
intervals between venting measures must be adapted to the operating
conditions.
Measuring connections located in several locations around the hydraulic system
are used for venting (e.g. cylinder, accumulator etc. - see assembly drawings).
The venting process must be carried out until gas-free oil discharges!
Technical monitoring of pressure tank
Hydraulic accumulators are pressure tanks and must be subjected to a pressure
test at regular intervals, which must be carried out in accordance with the
relevant regulations for the country of use by a technical monitoring body. In
most countries, monitoring of pressure accumulators and equipment operated
with pressure accumulators is prescribed. This must be carefully observed.
Bladder accumulator
For mill operation, the bladder accumulator is filled with nitrogen from standard
steel bottles with the help of a special filling device which is included in delivery.
The filling pressure can be read off from the pressure gauge fitted to the filling
unit. As delivered, the accumulators are normally filled with sufficient nitrogen
filling pressure so that the rubber bladder fills up the entire steel enclosure, in
other words is lying in close contact with the enclosure and closes the oil-sided
mushroom valve. This prevents penetration of dirt into the hydraulic working
space in the accumulator. You must ensure that the gas valve is sealed off via
the shut-off cap belonging to the accumulator. The gas valve alone does not
seal off sufficiently tightly.
Filling up with gas
DANGER
Only nitrogen gas (N2) has to be used to fill up the rubber bladder in the
The nitrogen gas (N2) purity has to be at last 99,995 %, filtered < 3 m.
Oxygen or air could cause explosions in connection with oil.
190
P09961-M10X00.980 en Rev. A

Maintenance
Setting the valve (for N2 filling pressure checked and N2 pressure

increase)
To check the correct nitrogen filling level both for the hydraulic bladder
accumulator and the hydraulic piston accumulator, it is absolutely imperative
that the pressure on the oil side is completely vented. For this purpose:
set the main switch to the "manual operation" position",
open the stopcock in accordance with the function table on "Scheme:
hydraulic HSLM ...".
If this rule is not observed, the incorrect N2 pressure will be displayed or filled
up. In addition to this, the accumulator bladder can be destroyed.
Checking interval for controlling gas filling pressure
After initial start-up, the gas pre-filling pressures in the bladder accumulator
must be checked at regular intervals and corrected if necessary.
After the 1st week;
After the 4thweek;
After the 3rd month;
Half-yearly.

Maintenance
Piston accumulator
Filling of the top piston accumulator with nitrogen takes place in a similar
manner. For more information, see manufacturer's documentation for the
"Spring assembly cpl." assembly in the mill.
It is possible that gas losses can occur due to operational conditions at the
piston accumulators, and on the other hand oil can be transported to the gas
side by the piston movement. For this reason, the following checks should be
carried out at regular intervals:
Checking the gas pre-filling pressure in the piston accumulator:
if there is a pressure loss of 30 % of the original filling pressure, only one
refilling is necessary.
if there is a pressure increase of 30 % of the original filling pressure,
there is a danger that oil is present in the gas-side accumulator space
Checking procedure:
1 Vent the gas completely using the fill and test unit. Open the valve screw by
1.5 turns.
2 Remove the fill and test unit.
3 Fit a plastic hose (provided by customer) over the gas valve body. Put the
free end in a collecting trough (provided by customer).
4 Press the "Raise rollers" button on the hydraulic cabinet. If the pump is
running, the accumulator piston will be moved upwards and presses the oil
out of the gas-side space.
5 Remove hose, fit fill and test unit and refill the accumulator with gas again
(see chapter "4.3 Filling the hydraulic accumulator").
6. Checking intervals:
After the 1st week;
After the 2nd week;
After the 4th week;
monthly;
After the 6thmonth - half yearly.

DANGER
Only nitrogen gas (N2) may be used to fill up the rubber bladder in the
Oxygen or air can cause explosions in connection with oil.
This device is a combined item of auxiliary equipment for filling the bladder and
piston accumulators with nitrogen and a measuring instrument.
The gas pressure in the hydraulic accumulators can be measured with the aid
of the fill and test unit. Filling and gas-pressure measurement may only be
carried out after the oil pressure has been reduced (see supplier's instruction
manual).
Note
The fill pressure of the bladder accumulators must be selected in correct relation
to the hydraulic working pressure. Refer to the "Diagram: spring stiffness" for the
permissible limit values (see documentation parts list "HSLM").

Maintenance
11.4.14 Maintenance: Sealing air system

The pressure in the sealing air system is monitored by the "sealing air
monitoring" unit. It triggers an alarm if there are irregularities in the sealing air
flow. Possible causes for an alarm and the measures for rectification are
described in the "Sealing air monitoring cpl." operating manual.
Check the wear rings by remeasuring the diameter for wear if the rollers are
disassembled during major inspections.
Replace worn wear rings otherwise the sealing air gap will be too large. The
resulting insufficient "sealing air sealing" can lead to the entry of foreign
bodies and to subsequent damage to the roller bearings or the slip-ring
sealing.

Maintenance
11.4.15 Maintenance: Piping system

WARNING
Maintenance on the piping is restricted to checks for sealtightness.

Sealing of compression joints must take place in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
If new welded piping is used, this must be de-burred and de-scaled and
preserved immediately after cleaning.
Test pressure: 210 bar, 2 hours!
11.4.16 Maintenance: Swinging device

NOTICE
After use, hang up the hydraulic cylinder vertically or deactivate it.
Otherwise the piston weight can permanently deform the sleeve gaskets which
leads to lack of sealtightness.
Before swinging out, always check the bolts and joint seatings for damage
and rust pocks.
Do not disconnect the swinging cylinder from the roller during roller
dismantling
Protect the hydraulic cylinder and its piston rod from external damage.
Keep high-pressure hoses in a place where they cannot be damaged. Only
use hoses with a burst pressure of more than 200 bar.

11.4.17 Maintenance: Grinding bed sprinkler cpl.
Check the sprinkler pipes regularly for damage and free drillholes.
They can be pulled from the outside out of the pipe holder for this purpose.
If this is not possible, the pipe must be inspected inside the mill and if
necessary repaired. Deposit build-ups should be removed if necessary. If
replacement is necessary, the pipe can be cut through at the end of the pipe
holder where necessary and the remainder pulled from the outside out of
the holder.
Protect the water hoses against mechanical damage. Replace them if
necessary.
Reseal the screw connections after repairs with sealing tape or hemp.
Regularly check the pipe holders on the mill body for tight fitting.

Maintenance
11.4.18 Maintenance: Classifier
Carry out regular visual checks of the machine for early detection of any
possible damage.
Checked all screwed/bolted connections regularly for secure seating. Treat
all bolted threads with corrosion protection to prevent fretting corrosion and
corrosion.
Always remove deposits of grinding material from rotating parts
immediately.
Carry out regular checks on the lining (not standard) the blades and the
guide vanes for wear. The covers in the classifier upper and lower housings
should be opened or removed to carry out visual checks.
In the case of large classifiers with accessible rotors, worn blades and guide
vanes should be replaced from the inside of the rotor. The blades should be
partially disassembled in order to replace the guide vanes.
In the case of smaller, non-accessible classifiers, either the rotor or the
guide vanes or the guide vane support segments must be lowered into the
interior of the mill in order to replace worn blades and guide vanes. In both
cases, the multiple-part grit funnel must be removed and if necessary the
rollers swung out.
If the blades are replaced, the rotor should be checked for sufficient
balance. To do this, the blades are weighed individually and sorted so that
each 2 strips of similar weights are mounted in opposing positions.
When maintaining the bearings, ensure that the rotary shaft seal has the
correct installation position in accordance with information on the drawings.
During inspections, carry out regular checks to see that there is a sufficient
grease collar on the rotary shaft seal on the rotor bearings. This will ensure
that the bearing is lubricated sufficiently.
When replacing the guide vane supports, ensure that the nuts are secured
with tack welds after tightening.
Exchange of the classifier guide vanes, large classifier

Dismantling
Remove the inspection cover in the upper body of the classifier to gain
access to the inside of the rotor.
Grind off the tack-welds which secure the nuts
Remove the screws on the guide vanes
Remove the guide vanes from their carriers
Assembly
The assembly of the guide vanes is accomplished in the reversed sequence to
that of the dismantling.
Tighten the screws of the guide vanes to the torque quoted in the drawing
"Guide vanes cpl.".
Secure the nuts with a tack-weld.
Reinstall and secure the blades of the rotor.
Rhombic hardfacing can slow down further wear on slit guide vane supports.
