SM-198 Petroleum Coke Grinding Mill: Price, Specifications & Applications
SM-198 Petroleum Coke Grinding Mill: Price, Specifications & Applications
Petroleum coke, a carbon-rich solid derived from oil refinery coking units, presents unique challenges for size reduction operations. Its abrasive nature and varying hardness demand specialized grinding equipment capable of producing consistent, high-quality powder while maintaining operational efficiency. The SM-198 grinding system represents the culmination of years of engineering expertise in processing challenging materials like petcoke.
Technical Challenges in Petroleum Coke Processing
Processing petroleum coke requires equipment that can handle its specific characteristics. Traditional grinding mills often struggle with the material’s abrasiveness, leading to excessive wear on components and inconsistent particle size distribution. Additionally, the need for precise fineness control—particularly for applications in anode production for aluminum smelting or as a carbon additive—demands advanced separation technology.
The thermal properties of petcoke also present challenges, as excessive heat generation during grinding can affect material quality and create safety concerns. Effective cooling systems and temperature control mechanisms are essential for maintaining optimal processing conditions.
Advanced Grinding Solutions
For operations requiring ultra-fine petroleum coke powder, our MW Ultrafine Grinding Mill offers exceptional performance characteristics. With an input size capacity of 0-20 mm and throughput ranging from 0.5 to 25 tons per hour, this system is engineered specifically for challenging materials like petcoke.
The MW series incorporates several proprietary technologies that make it particularly suitable for petroleum coke applications. The newly designed grinding curves of the grinding roller and ring enhance efficiency significantly, while the absence of rolling bearings and screws in the grinding chamber eliminates common failure points that plague conventional mills when processing abrasive materials.
Key Features for Petroleum Coke Applications
The MW Ultrafine Grinding Mill’s cage-type powder selector, incorporating German technology, provides precise control over final product fineness, adjustable between 325-2500 meshes. This level of control is crucial for petcoke applications where specific particle size distributions directly impact downstream processes.
From an environmental perspective, the integrated pulse dust collector ensures no dust pollution during operation, while the silencer and noise elimination room maintain workplace comfort. The system’s energy efficiency is particularly noteworthy—achieving the same fineness and power, production capacity is 40% higher than jet grinding mills and twice that of ball grinding mills, with system energy consumption only 30% of jet grinding mills.
Alternative Solutions for Varied Requirements
For operations with different capacity needs or space constraints, our LUM Ultrafine Vertical Grinding Mill presents another excellent option for petroleum coke processing. With its unique roller shell and lining plate grinding curve design, the LUM mill generates material layers more effectively, enabling high rates of finished products through single-pass powder milling.
The LUM system’s double position-limiting technology provides exceptional operational stability, preventing destructive impacts during unexpected vibration events. The reversible structure simplifies maintenance procedures, allowing grinding rollers to be easily moved out of the body for inspection and component replacement.
Industry Applications
Processed petroleum coke finds applications across multiple industries. In aluminum production, finely ground petcoke serves as anode material. The cement industry utilizes it as a cost-effective fuel alternative, while various manufacturing sectors employ it as a carbon additive. The consistent quality and precise particle size distribution achieved through advanced grinding technology directly impact performance in these applications.
