There are several reasons why it is desirable, even necessary, to conduct testing with a rotary kiln. The list below highlights the importance of such test work.

      • To size and design a commercial size rotary kiln. Gathering data on the material and process set-up during tests in a kiln will aid in the design of a commercial size unit.
      • To assist in product development. Tests can be carried out with small batches of material to determine the necessary specifications for creating the ideal end-product.
      • To confirm viability of a process. Testing can help determine if an intended process is both technically possible, and economically viable.
      • To test various process conditions. Testing at FEECO allows customers to try new process conditions without disrupting production of their existing system.

Testing is a crucial component in the development of new and existing rotary kiln applications. For more information on the benefits of testing, read our blog post Kiln Feasibility Testing, or contact a FEECO expert today!
