Preliminary studies on modelling the drying process in product classification and separation path in an electromagnetic mill installation

Abstract

The process of loose materials grinding is directly dependent on the type of feed and its physical parameters resulting from presence of water in the material. The grinding process in the electromagnetic mill installation is carried out on dry material, using pneumatic transport and classification system with recycle. Preliminary analyses have shown the possibility to significantly improve the product quality and efficiency of the milling process by appropriate control of the moisture content of the milled material. The main objective of the research is to develop a model describing the changes of moisture content of bulk material in the installation of the electromagnetic mill. This paper presents the results of preliminary studies on models describing the drying process in the path of material classification and its separation from the transport air.
