Energy conservation is a significant advantage of vertical milling machines. In contrast to traditional ball mills, vertical milling machines consume significantly less energy. One of the main reasons is their unique grinding principle. Ball mills rely on the impact and grinding of balls in a rotating cylinder to pulverize materials, which results in a large amount of energy being wasted in the movement of the balls and the rotation of the cylinder.
Vertical milling machines, on the other hand, use a more direct grinding method. The materials are directly pressed and ground between the grinding rollers and the grinding disc. This reduces unnecessary energy consumption. For instance, in a power plant's coal - grinding process, a vertical milling machine can save about 30% of electricity consumption compared to a ball mill when producing the same amount of pulverized coal.
In addition, the optimized air - flow system in vertical milling machines enables the effective use of air energy. The air not only helps in the transportation and classification of powders but also participates in the drying process, further reducing energy consumption. As energy costs continue to rise, the energy - saving features of vertical milling machines make them more and more attractive to industrial users.
