  Separators in the cement industry              


                           
  6   Second generation separators:              
  6.1   Introduction:                  
      - Also called: Cyclones separators.              
      - As the 1st generation, the material to be classified is dispersed in the area where the separation is created by a  
        distribution plate.                
      - The air flow required for the separation is produced by an external fan.        
      - The separator material feed is carried out mechanically by means of suitable continuous conveyors.    
      - Fines are conveyed in external cyclones.            
      - Fresh air entry and air exit to filter.              
      - The fan that moves the air is a more efficient design and has a considerably reduced dust loading.    
      - These separators have a better separation efficiency due to the external fan and the cyclones.    
      - Comparison between cyclones and conventional separators:          
        The diagram here below shows the specific surface (Blaine) produced        
        in order to achieve a certain percentage of residue on 30µm (From Duda Cement Data Book).    
      - For example, to get 20% residue on 30µm, a turbo separator needs to produce a cement at 3200-3900 Blaine and a  
        separator with cyclones 3000-3600 Blaine.

      - Here a non-exhaustive list of cyclones separators:             
        - Wedag ZUB (KHD)              
        - Cyclopol (Polysius)              
        - SKET (ZAB Co.)              
        - FCB cyclones              
        - Other copies from former Eastern Europe          
  6.2   Advantages of 2nd generation dynamic separators:            
      - Possibility of mechanical adjustments              
      - Possibility of very large flow rates              
      - Flexibility to produce products of different qualities          
      - Better efficiency than the conventional separators             
      - Less power consumption                
      - Reduced wear on the separator internals (especially the fan)          
  6.3   Disadvantages of 2nd generation dynamic separators:            
      - More space needed                
      - Less efficient than cage separators

  6.4   Principle of operation:                
      - The material is fed at the top of the separator.            
      - Material falls and is dispersed in the circulating air by the distribution plate.        
      - The air stream is generated by an external fan and recirculated. Possibly, there is a regulated fresh air inlet  
        in the part of the duct going to the separator.             
      - There is an exit where air is removed to a dedusting filter in order to maintain a constant underpressure  
        inside the system.                
      - The coarse material is separated by aspiration inside the main casing and goes out via the bottom conical device.  
      - As a certain number of fines particles are entrained downwards with coarse particles, the air flow returning to the  
        separating area has a second chance to pick up any fines in the rejects.        
      - The air  with some amount of fine material is going back to the separating zone through the air vanes.    
      - The fine material exits by the top of the separator and the air flow enters into the cyclones through the gas pipe.   
      - The material is separated in the cyclones and exits through the bottom of these.      
      - The cleaned air (the dust content is generally less than 15 g/m³) is recirculated via the fan.      
      - It has been observed that the air flow speed in 2nd generation separators is in the order of 30% of the    
        air speed for conventional separators.

  6.5   Possibilities of adjustments:              
      Main adjustments:                
      - Speed of counterblades                
      - Fan speed                  
      - Fan damper                  
      Other possible adjustments:              
      - To remove or increase the counterblades number            
      - To increase the distribution plate diameter            
      - To decrease the distance between the distribution plate and the counterblades
