Rotary Kiln Maintenance
Rotary Kiln Alignment The continuity of operation of a lime sludge kiln requires strict maintenance control. The rotary kiln is among the largest type of moving machines made and is subjected to extreme temperatures, power failures, atmospheric conditions, varying loads, and other operating conditions which affect its wear and alignment. It should be erected under […]
Rotary Lime Kiln Operation
Precipitated calcium carbonate, commonly called lime sludge or lime mud, is produced when sulphate green liquor is causticized with lime. For many years this lime sludge was considered a waste product and was dumped into rivers or waste ponds, or used for fill around the plants. Large quantities of new lime were purchased from commercial […]
Clinker Cooler
The Air-Quenching shaking grate Clinker Cooler was developed more than 20 years ago as an improved heat recuperating cooler for use with rotary kilns. It was designed to air quench and cool large quantities of hot clinker rapidly, and to recover and return to the kiln a major portion of the heat from the clinker. […]
Cement Rock Beneficiation Process
The below Cement Rock Beneficiation Process flowsheet represents a simplified flow diagram of a cement plant in which beneficiation of raw materials is employed. Using a crude feed of limestone and/or clay, the flowsheet produces raw clay by multi-stage cycloning, and “Sub-A” Flotation upgrades the impure limestone. Turbine-type Agitators are used for storage and homogenous mixing […]
