Extend the service life of the kiln with veneering

摘要

Time is money. This applies to every manufacturing industry. The production of cement clinker and lime is a complex system with many pitfalls where the three main components must be brought into harmony: the kiln system, the raw meal and the refractory material. Any small disturbance of one component can have a major impact on the whole system. If the kiln does not run smoothly, the risk of the refractory material being damaged in a short time increases. If the composition of the raw meal is varying, not only an inaccurate clinker or lime is produced but also the refractory lining can be damaged. Once the refractory material is affected, it loses its protective effect and the kiln shell can overheat and become deformed. High consequential costs arise. Costs for refractory material only make up a minor part of the operating costs, but they form the basis for a running kiln and thus for a properly used production capacity.
