Factors Affecting The Efficiency Of Rotary Kiln

Rotary kiln is a kind of machinery and equipment used more in building materials, mineral processing, metallurgy, cement, chemical industry and other industries. It can calcine various types of materials: limestone, litharge, cement clinker, dolomite, iron ore and so on. Widely used in the high temperature calcination of various materials. Rotary kiln has a long service life, temperature controllable, adaptable and other advantages and features. So what are the factors that affect the production efficiency of rotary kiln? As long as you understand these influencing factors, you can ensure the high efficiency of the equipment production and operation.

1, the nature of the material and processing effect
The most important factor affecting the production efficiency of rotary kiln is the nature of the material and processing effect. For different materials there is a big difference, because of its chemical and physical properties are different. Like: particle size, density, melting point, reactivity and so on. The nature of these materials will be on the rotary kiln processing difficulty is different. Therefore, for different materials its temperature, atmosphere, calcination time need to be adjusted.

2. Rotary kiln equipment performance
Rotary kiln is composed of: furnace body, conveyor, feeding device, combustion device, gears, gear wheel, protective cover, discharge system and other components. For the rotary kiln furnace equipment performance is directly linked to the production efficiency. There is a decisive role. Design of rotary kiln furnace length, diameter, tilt, etc. have an impact on the state of the material running inside the kiln and thermal conductivity. At the same time the combustion system, transmission system, sealing, etc., will also have an impact on the production efficiency.
Therefore, in the early purchase of the rotary kiln should be customised kiln design for specific needs. At the same time also need to carry out regular maintenance and maintenance of equipment. Thus determining the best state of equipment operation. If the use of advanced combustion devices, speed control devices. It can also improve the production efficiency of the rotary kiln.

3. Feeding frequency
In the rotary kiln feeding time. Need to carry out uniform feeding. Can not be more or less, uneven feeding. It is good to affect the calcination effect of the material. This will lead to unstable product quality after the completion of calcination. This will cause a decline in production efficiency. If the feeding is too little, the thickness of the material in the rotary kiln to be insufficient. Can not form an effective calcination layer. It will affect the working efficiency.

4. The staff of the rotary kiln is also the key to the correct operation of the rotary kiln production efficiency. If the combustion process. Add the amount of coal will also affect the production efficiency. Will lead to fluctuations in the temperature of the kiln. Thus affecting the calcination effect of the material. Therefore, the operator should calcine the material. To choose the appropriate operating parameters. Avoid causing the rotary kiln efficiency decline.
