Abstract

A vertical roller mill has a rotary grinding table (1), grinding rollers (3) and a nozzle ring (13) surrounding the table for providing an air stream to entrain ground material. Downstream of each roller is a scraper (20) with a nozzle for directing a blast of air onto the crushed material leaving the roller to break up the material so that finer fractions pass into the conveying air stream and coarser fractions are carried on the table to the next roller.
