This weekโs photo shows a warped leaf seal. Extreme heat during a kilnโs operation caused the seal to curl away from the drum, and cool into this deformed shape. It was later replaced by a FEECO Customer Service Engineer. Leaf seals minimize air leakage into …
Rotary kiln air flow configuration is an important consideration in kiln design. Counter current and co-current are the different types of air flow options available, each offering distinct advantages and disadvantages. In co-current air flow configuration, the material and process gas flow in the same …
