3 4 Tradition & progress FLSmidth Pfister has almost 120 years of experience in manufacturing of industrial weighing equipment. It has been member stock quoted FLSmidth Group/Denmark since The patented rotor weighfeeder was invented by Pfister in 1984 to feed pulverised fuels for the cement burning process. This state-of-the-art dosing device has proved its properties in more than 2,500 installations worldwide. FLSmidth Pfister additionally supplies know-how for equipment, related to the coal feeding process in order to ensure problem-free material handling and optimal pneumatic transport of the coal. Pfister weighfeeders are - engineered - designed - assembled - tested with the experience of almost 120 years. Fuels have a wide variety of material characteristics. Thus, FLSmidth Pfister helps to design individual installation solutions. German Ludwig Pfister founded the company in 1894 Above: Historic scale

4 5 Functioning principle of belt weighfeeders Pfister BWF The picture below displays a belt weighfeeder Pfister BWF: Material is extracted out of the material silo and fed into the infeed hoppers. The conveyor belt transports the material over the weighing bridge where a controller regulates the speed of the belt inverse to the momentary load. From there the material is discharged into the further processes, for example cement mill feeding. rate and the measured bulk material mass to calculate the speed of the belt. Less material on the belt results in a higher speed, more material in a lower speed. With this pro-active principle, the prospective control ProsCon, belt weighfeeders Pfister BWF achieve highly stable short- and longterm accuracy. Belt weighfeeders Pfister BWF are controlled by controller Pfister idd. The control is mounted at the frame of belt weighfeeder Pfister BWF which makes an electrical control cabinet obsolete. Alternatively a cabinet solution with gravimetric dosing controller Pfister GDC is available. Prospective Control ProsCon : Advanced Weighing Electronics The electronic controller calculates the required speed of the motor for the time of the discharge. It uses the set feed

9 10 Raw mill feeding at a cement plant At this cement plant old belt weighfeeders (see picture to the right) were replaced by state-ofthe-art belt weighfeeders Pfister BWF to feed lime stone at a rate of 40 t/h (see picture below).

10 11 Cement mill feeding At this cement plant belt weighfeeders Pfister BWF handle the complete cement mill feeding with - clinker at a feed rate of 80 t/h - gypsum at a feed rate of 15 t/h and - additives at a feed rate of 5 t/h Old belt weighfeeders from the 1970ies (see picture on the right above) were replaced by three modern belt weighfeeders Pfister BWF.

11 12 Iron ore and coal feeding at a sinter plant After extraction from the vibrating hopper iron ore or coal is dosed by belt weighfeeders Pfister BWF onto a collecting belt to feed a sinter plant at a feed rate of 180 t/h. Coal feeding at a coke plant At these two coke plants coal is fed onto a collecting belt by belt weighfeeders Pfister BWF at a feed rate of 180 t/h (picture on the left) and at 350 t/h (picture on the right).

12 13 Application in minerals dosing These belt weighfeeders Pfister BWF were designed and assembled for application in a minerals plant. Dosed materials are petcoke, limestone and phosphate cake with feed rates up to 850 t/h.

16 17 Gravimetric belt feeder Pfister GBF: Highly accurate and reliable coal feeding in the Power Industry For dosing crushed coal to pulverizers in firing processes Gravimetric belt weighfeeder Pfister GBF is especially designed for feeding crushed coal to pulverizers in the boiler firing process in the power industry. Gravimetric belt weighfeeder Pfister GBF mainly replaces old volumetric feeders to improve a constant material feeding into the firing process. Due to its precise gravimetric dosing the coal fired boilers can be operated more stable, less access air is required and the efficiency of the boilers increased.

17 18 Functioning principle of gravimetric belt feeder Pfister GBF The picture below displays a gravimetric belt feeder Pfister GBF and its weighing and dosing principle: Crushed coal is extracted out of the material silo and fed into the infeed hoppers. The gravimetric belt feeder Pfister GBF consists of a conveyor belt with integrally moulded side skirting which is equipped with moulded V guide at the bottom of the carrying side ensuring no swaying of the belt, thus maintaining accuracy. A belt scraper scrapes coal off the top surface of the conveyor belt. Its blade is kept pressed against the surface of the belt by a counterweight. The weighing zone of gravimetric belt feeder Pfister GBF is defined by two rollers precisely located at a fixed distance. The weighing roller is at the center of these two rollers and suspended directly through load cells on both sides. The load on the weighing zone is measured by dual load cells which are barometrically insensitive and environmentally sealed. These load cells yield a very high linearity. The signal from the load cell is fed to a microprocessor-based gravimetric dosing controller Pfister GDC. Thus, the speed of the belt is controlled inverse to the momentary load. From there the crushed coal is discharged into the further processes. Gravimetric belt feeder Pfister GBF is auto calibrated by integrated calibration sensors. In case of load cell disrepancy an automatic change over switches to a volumetric weighing mode automatically. In the volumetric mode, the feeder runs based on historic density. It reverts automatically to gravimetric mode if load cell data show no more discrepany. Technical drawing of a gravimetric belt feeder Pfister GBF:

20 21 Apron weighfeeder Pfister AWF and apron feeder Pfister AF Hghly accurate and reliable for continuous dosing of heavy bulk material The apron weighfeeder Pfister AWF is designed with a heavy, durable belt made of steel plates. With this heavy-duty design it helps to control the volume and weight of materials that are added to a process, and regulates the rate at which these materials are added. Apron weighfeeder Pfister AWF measures large, bulky materials like minerals or coal. To withstand the heavy weight of these types of materials, the belt portion of the apron feeder is made from thick steel trays. Chains along either end of the feeder help move the trays along the conveyor area. The apron feeder Pfister AF shows the same design and properties, but is used as a discharge feeder without a dosing function.
