A rotary kiln is a big device that is shaped like a spinning cylinder and is used to get solids to temperatures high enough to produce a chemical reaction or a change in their physical state. It is widely utilised in a variety of industrial operations including the production of cement, the processing of minerals, and the combustion of garbage.
In order to endure the high temperatures and severe conditions that are contained within the kiln, it is often constructed out of steel and lined with refractory materials. The kiln spins around its axis and is tilted at a very tiny inclination, which enables materials to pass through it under the influence of gravity. The components are loaded into the kiln from the top, and as they make their way down the length of the chamber, they are heated by the hot gases that are circulating within the chamber. read more...
