B.6 Roller press Calculations
Formulas
Total roller force T is calculated from the hydraulic pressure and the number and area of the hydraulic cylinders:
T=c • A • B • 102
[kN]
Specific roller pressure k T is the total force divided by the projected roller area: 2
KT = T/(D • W)
[kN/m ]
Peripheral velocity v of the rollers is calculated from the roller speed and the roller diameter:
v = P • D • (n/60)
[m/s]
Power consumption N of the roller press is calculated from the applied total force, the peripheral velocity and the rolling torque factor between material and roller surface :
N=µ•T•v
[kW]
or when using the specific roller pressure:
N = u • kT • D • W • v
[kW]
Throughput capacity M of the roller press is calculated from the thickness of the grinding bed, the density of the pressed material, the width of the rollers and the peripheral velocity :
M = 3,6 • s •
•W•v
[t/h]
Specific power consumption E1 applied to the material at each pass through the roller press is the power consumption divided by the throughput capacity: E1 = N/M
[kWh/t]
Roller press circulation factor C is the throughput capacity divided by the new feed rate: C = M/P Specific power consumption E applied to the product from the roller press system (finished product ->r product to ball mill) is the

specific power consumption applied to the material at each pass through the roller press multiplied by the circulation factor:
