Abstract

A roller mill (1) including a housing (2) having a milling-material inlet (3), at least one milling-material outlet (4), and at least two cambered rollers (5, 5′) which are each arranged in the housing (2) so as to be rotatable about a roller axis (6). At least one roller (5) is assigned a scraper (7). The scraper (7) has a blade (8) for scraping milling material from a roller surface (9) with a scraper edge (10) which extends over an entire length (L) of the blade (8), and comprises a holder (11) with a receiving region (12). The holder is arranged in the housing (2) so as to be tiltable about an axis (13) parallel to the roller axis. An elastic bearing (14) is arranged between the blade (8) and the receiving region (12).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A roller mill ( 1 ) comprising:
a housing ( 2 ) having a milling-material inlet ( 3 ),
at least one milling-material outlet ( 4 ), and at least two cambered rollers ( 5 , 5 ′) which are each arranged in the housing ( 2 ) so as to be rotatable about a roller axis ( 6 ),
wherein at least one roller ( 5 ) is assigned a scraper ( 7 ), and the scraper ( 7 ):
has a blade ( 8 ) for scraping milling material from a roller surface ( 9 ) with a scraper edge ( 10 ) which extends over an entire length (L) of the blade ( 8 ), and
comprises a holder ( 11 ) with a receiving region ( 12 ), the holder is arranged in the housing ( 2 ) so as to be tiltable about an axis ( 13 ) parallel to the roller axis,

an elastic bearing ( 14 ) is arranged between the blade ( 8 ) and the receiving region ( 12 ), and
wherein the receiving region ( 12 ) has the form of a groove ( 15 ), and the elastic bearing ( 14 ) is arranged at least between a groove wall ( 16 ) and the blade ( 8 );
wherein the blade ( 8 ) is arranged in such a way that the scraper edge ( 10 ) is parallel to the roller axis ( 6 ) when the blade ( 8 ) does not contact the roller surface.

2. The roller mill ( 1 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the elastic bearing ( 14 ) is arranged between the blade ( 8 ) and both groove walls ( 16 , 16 ′).

3. The roller mill ( 1 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the blade ( 8 ) abuts on a groove bottom ( 17 ).

4. The roller mill ( 1 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the blade ( 8 ) and the elastic bearing ( 14 ) are held in a clamping profile ( 18 ) which is arranged in the receiving region ( 12 ).

5. The roller mill as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the blade ( 8 ) has a ratio between a length (L) and width (B) of 1.6:1 to 300:1.

6. The roller mill ( 1 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the blade ( 8 ) has a ratio between the height (H) and the free height (FH) of more than 1:1 to 6:1.

7. The roller mill ( 1 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the blade ( 8 ) is arranged at an angle (a) of between 200 and 75° to the roller surface ( 9 ).

8. The roller mill ( 1 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the elastic bearing ( 14 ) is formed as an elastomer strip with a Shore 00 hardness of between 15 and 100.

9. The roller mill ( 1 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the holder is provided with a counterweight ( 19 ) by means of which the blade ( 8 ) can be tilted about the axis ( 13 ) and can be pressed against the roller surface ( 9 ).

10. The roller mill ( 1 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the scraper ( 7 ) is in operative connection with a lift-off device by means of which the blade ( 8 ) can be tilted about the axis ( 13 ) and can be moved away from the roller surface ( 9 ).

11. The roller mill ( 1 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the blade ( 8 ) is received over its entire length (L) in the receiving region ( 12 ).

12. The roller mill ( 1 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the blade ( 8 ) is arranged at an angle (a) of between 30° and 60° to the roller surface ( 9 ).

13. The roller mill ( 1 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the elastic bearing ( 14 ) is formed as an elastomer strip with a Shore 00 hardness of between 30 and 90.

14. The roller mill ( 1 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the blade ( 8 ) is arranged at an angle (a) of between 30° and 50° to the roller surface ( 9 ).

15. The roller mill ( 1 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the elastic bearing ( 14 ) is formed as an elastomer strip with a Shore 00 hardness of between 40 and 80.
