THE ACM PULVERISER SAFETY DEVICES

RIECO ACM is an air classifying mill with integrated grinding,
classifying, conveying and collecting operations. The milling if
required may be carried out in a closed loop operation with dry
air or inert gas. This flexibility makes the plant suitable to handle
explosive, heat sensitive or hygroscopic materials.
All RIECO ACM mills are equipped with protection devices for
safe operation. These measure include a safety switch on the
cover of the grinding chamber. It is there by ensured that the
drive motors cannot be switched ‘ON’ when the grinding
chamber cover is open.

TEST RIG
RIECO has a government approved R & D facility at Alandi near
Pune. This includes a fully operational 10 ACM plant. Materials
can be readily tested for the grinding performance and the results
obtained can be extrapolated to meet desired throughputs. An
elaborate data bank generated over a period ensures optimal
design.
 THE ROTOR ASSEMBLY
This assembly comprise of the following components : the
separator wheel assembly, the rotor disc, bearing housing
and the V-belt pulleys. The complete assembly is secured to
the grinding chamber housing by four retaining bolts. All
bearings are lubricated and are protected against ingress of
ground product and dirt, moisture by means of special
sealing rings.

THE GRINDING CHAMBER

The grinding chamber is sealed by a hinged cover held in
position by hand wheels. When the hand wheels are re
released the entire cover assembly tilts upwards giving
access to the milling components, these consist of the air
dispersion ring, the shroud and baffle ring, multiple deflector
liners and the rotor assembly.

DRIVES
All driven motors are fixed to the chassis and are easily
accessible, power is transmitted by V-belts. A tachometer is
supplied to indicate the speed and allows operator at a
glance to select the correct speed for any pre-determined
product fineness.
