1.Project introduction

Vertical roller mill machines are very important in the cement plant. Along with development of variable frequency drive controlling technology, nowadays mostly asynchronous motors are driven by variable frequency driver instead of old traditional technology such as soft starter to realize automatic control and changing cement production.

Customer has below serious challenges:
1.Can’t increase cement product.
2.Grid line power factor is low.
3.High fault ratio and high maintenance costs for Slip-ring motor.

Site cement mill:

Detailed motor parameters are list as follow:

3.Features and Advantage

After using MV Drive, there are some major advantages as follow,

1.Increase cement product.
Table 3.Increase cement product

	Before using MVD	After using MVD	Remark
Motor running speed	994RPM	1094RPM	Change Slip-ring motor to squirrel-cage motor
Cement product capacity(PSC)	240TPH	336TPH	Change Slip-ring motor to squirrel-cage motor
Increase cement product ratio	(336-240)/240=40%

2.Increase grid line power factor.
The grid line power factor is over 0.97. So don’t need capacitor compensation device.

3.Very low torque pulse.
Low torque pulse without causing the resonance between the motor and other mechanical devices, and reducing the transmission mechanism wearing.

4.Perfect output waveform.
Output waveform is perfect, less than 2% of distortion.

5.Prolong motor working life time.
VFD can keep motor running at optimal situation.

6.Reduce maintenance costs.

4.Conclusion

Compared with original vertical roller driven method, the MVD driven method has many advantages. Especially increase cement product. The MVD system is easily controlled by CCR and the MVD running speed can automatic adjusted from 0RPM to 1094RPM. The upgraded MVD system works very well, customers are satisfied with INVT solution and INVT MVD met with customer’s requirements.
