The wet process kilns to which most rotary coolers were fitted used at least 2.5 kg of combustion air per kg of clinker made, and the aim was to get most of this to go through the cooler. This meant taking hot air for the firing system from the kiln hood, and maintaining tight seals on the hot ends of both kiln and cooler.
Rotary kilns are the main equipment used for large-scale industrial cement production. In these rotary kilns, raw materials are progressively heated while they travel down the length of the kiln; they are successively dried, preheated, calcified, and combined into cement clinker. Substantial amounts of heat are consumed in the rotary kilns, and

The cement clinker is typically burnt in rotary kilns, as sketched in Fig. 1. The raw material, which mainly consists of limestone and clay, is ground, dried and heated up in a calciner before it is channelled into the kiln. A rotary cement kiln is a horizontal, refractory lined steel pipe with diameters of up to 6 m and a length of about 40 to ...

Water evaporation In wet-process kilns, and their derivatives, water must first be driven off. In a wet-process kiln, calcining takes place after the water has been driven off, about a third of the way down the kiln. ... most of the calcination takes place in the rotary kiln within a moving mass of feed. ... Clinker liquid and nodule formation ...
