Abstract

A vertical roller mill has stationary grinding rollers which roll over a grinding path (4) of a rotatable grinding table (1), and a surrounding nozzle ring (7) for conveying and separating air. A coarse fraction of ground material is entrained upwards and radially inwards over an inclined outer wall (19) of a screen (15) and is directed downwards by an overlying guide wall (16) onto an inclined inner wall (20) of the screen (15) and hence back to the grinding table (1) for further grinding.
