Design of a mineral coal grinding line as a fuel alternative

The purpose of this article is to present the design of a line in charge of pulverizing coal to feed burners of ceramic furnaces. This complete line performs the adequate pulverization of the coal (loading hopper, feeder box, conveyor belt, hammer mill, bucket elevator and storage silo), as well as a system for transportation from the storage silo to a receiving hopper close to the kilns, which will constantly feed the burning equipment (carbojets). The results of the design allow to improve the efficiency of coal burning, improve power output and reduce emissions of dangerous gases, with which it can be implemented in electric power generating plants, steel plants, cement plants and any other industry that apply charcoal ovens.
