Rotary Kiln belongs to building material equipment, according to different materials, which can be divided into cement kiln, metallurgy chemical kiln and lime kiln. Cement kiln is used for making cement clinker and there are dry and wet methods to make cement clinker. Metallurgy chemical kiln is widely used for magnetic roasting of poor iron ore and oxidizing roasting of chrome and nickel in the steel factory; backing high-alumina mine in the refractory material factory; baking chamotte and alumina in the aluminum factory and baking chrome ore and chrome powder in the chemical plant. The Lime Kiln is used for roasting active lime in steel works and ferroalloy plants and light roasting dolomite.
The equipment can be divided into gas-burnt type calcination kiln and electric heating type calcination kiln according to the different heatsource used.
When the temperature of the calciner klin body is heated to the process requirements, the material to be calcined is sent into the calciner klin chamber by the feeding system.
The heating system adopts electrical heating radiation or burner heating. and maintains the working temperature of each area of the calciner klin by adjusting the electric heating power or adjusting the burner .
The calciner klin chamber has a certain tilt, so that the material is calcined while moving forward slowly during the slow rotation process .
The residence time of the material in the calciner klin chamber can maintain the working temperature of each area of the calciner klin by adjusting the electric heating power or the burner .
In the cement industry, rotary kilns are an important equipment for calcining cement clinker. In the chemical industry, rotary kilns can be used to produce soda, calcine phosphate fertilizer, barium sulfide, etc. In the non-ferrous and ferrous metal metallurgical industry, metals such as iron, aluminum, copper, zinc, tin, nickel, tungsten, chromium, etc. are smelted using rotary kilns as smelting equipment to sinter and roast ores, concentrates, intermediates, etc.
