What Is A Rotary Kiln?

    Rotary kiln is used to heat solids to the point where a required chemical reaction takes place. The rotary kiln is basically a rotating inclined cylinder. Solids retention time in the rotary kiln is an important design factor and is set by proper selection of the diameter, length, speed, slope and internals design. There are two basic types of rotary kiln; direct fired and indirect fired.

Direct Fired Rotary Kiln

    A direct fired rotary kiln has the combustion gases going through the rotary kiln / dryer. The combustion can either take place in a combustion chamber or the flame can be directed down the length of the rotary kiln.In a drying application, the contact between the gases and the solids is the primary form of heat transfer. In a calcining application, the radiation from the flame is the primary form of heat transfer.Rotary kiln can operate in either the co-current mode where the gases and solids move in the same direction or in the counter-current mode where they move in opposite directions. The rotary kiln can also be operated in either the reduction or oxidation mode.

Indirect Fired Rotary Kiln

    With an indirect fired rotary kiln the combustion or other form of heating takes place on the outside of the rotary kiln shell. This way, the material being processed does not come into contact with the combustion gases.This can be important to the rotary kiln product quality or to keeping the product from reacting to the gases.Another advantage is that the amount of gases coming from the rotary kiln that need to go through an emission control system is very small. Indirect rotary kiln can also be used as coolers.
