This week’s photo highlights the interior of a batch rotary kiln.
The rod-like structures at the bottom of the image (labeled “C”) are two thermocouples. They are typically used in the kiln to measure bed and exhaust gas temperatures.
The upper rod is an airline used to inject air into the bed to increase the rate of carbon combustion. The part labeled “A” is the main pipe, and part “B,” along with three other pipes, blow the air into the material bed.
The FEECO Innovation Center offers both direct-fired and indirect-fired batch kiln test work. Testing offers valuable process and product information, allowing one to gain imperative data on their material, work out process variables and develop a recipe for process scale-up.
