Brief Introduction

According to different materials processed, rotary kilns can be divided into three types:

◎ Cement kiln: Used for calcining cement clinker in dry and wet cement plants, such as limestone, clay, gypsum, shale, etc.

◎ Metallurgical chemical kiln: Used for lean iron ore, nickel iron ore, bauxite, lithium ore, chromium ore, nickel iron ore, magnesite,and ceramsite in steel plants, chemical plants and refractory material plants.

◎ Lime kiln: Used for roasting activated limestone and light burnt dolomite in steel plants, ferroalloy plants and magnesium plants.

Working Principle

Working Principle

The rotary kiln is a tilted cylinder that rotates slowly, moving raw materials from high to low end for chemical reactions. Heat from pulverized coal combustion at the kiln head aids in material decomposition, forming clinker discharged from the lower end.
