Rotary Calciner
ROTARY CALCINERS
Rotary calciners, also commonly called indirect kilns, are used in various calcination operations where exhaust gases must be minimized, when processing finely divided solids, or where temperature must be tightly controlled along the length of the kiln.
A calciner is comprised of a rotating drum inside a furnace, which is externally heated. Unlike direct-fired kilns, which utilize direct contact between the material and process gas to carry out processing, in a calciner, heat is transferred from the shell of the externally heated kiln to the bed of material through radiation.
FEECO offers a unique testing facility where we use batch and continuous pilot equipment to simulate production conditions, allowing us to test small samples of your material under various conditions and develop a process around the unique needs of your material. Specifically, we offer a direct batch kiln, indirect batch kiln, direct continuous kiln, and indirect continuous kiln.
The batch and pilot direct-fired equipment can be configured to include the following: combustion chamber, afterburner, baghouse, quench chamber, and wet scrubber.
