1. Understanding Dust Generation in Coal Grinding

Coal grinding produces combustible dust particles ranging from 5μm to 100μm. The SCM Ultrafine Mill series achieves D97≤5μm precision while maintaining explosion-proof standards through:

  • Pulse-jet filtration with ≤20mg/m³ emission
  • Explosion vents and pressure relief valves
  • Anti-static filter media

2. Key Selection Criteria

2.1 Filtration Efficiency

Our MTW Series Trapezium Mill integrates a multi-stage dust collector achieving 99.99% efficiency at 325 mesh (45μm), featuring:

Component Specification
Filter Material PTFE-coated polyester
Air-to-Cloth Ratio 1.2:1 (m³/min/m²)
Differential Pressure <1500Pa

2.2 Explosion Protection

Critical measures include:

  1. Oxygen concentration monitoring
  2. Spark detection systems
  3. Nitrogen inerting capability (optional on SCM models)

3. System Integration

The SCM Ultrafine Mill (0.5-25t/h capacity) demonstrates perfect integration with:

  • Cyclone pre-separators reducing filter load by 85%
  • Variable frequency drive (VFD) controlled fans
  • Automated pulse cleaning at ≤75dB noise level

4. Maintenance Considerations

Our patented designs reduce downtime:

- Quick-release filter cartridge system (30min replacement)
- Wear-resistant ducting (3× industry standard life)
- Remote diagnostic ports
