Drying and sintering kilns
Drying kiln
Drying kiln is equipped with the rotating drum with replaceable lifters. Lifters can be changed according to the material properties. Tilt and rotational speed are adjustable. Drying air is heated up by the burner operating on natural gas. Drying kiln can be operated either in parallel or counter flow regime.
| Drying capacity | 37.5 kg/h of water |
| Variable tilt | 1 – 30 % |
| Variable drum speed | 0.1 –6 rpm |
| Variable drying temperature | 80 – 350 °C |
| Maximum material intake | max. 100 kg/h |
| Output material humidity | 20 % |
Sintering kiln
Sintering kiln has variable length, it can be adjusted in a range from 3 to 7 meters. In front of the sintering kiln a container with the auger filler is located. The kiln has variable tilt and rotational speed, which affects the residence time of material. Both parallel and counter flow regimes are possible.
| Capacity | 35 kg/h |
| Variable tilt | 1 – 30 % |
| Variable drum speed | 0.1 – 6 rpm |
| Maximum operating temperature | 1350 °C |
| Grain size of the material | 3 – 20 mm |
