Rotary Cement Kiln Refractories

Based on the working condition of rotary cement kiln components, corresponding refractory materials should be chosen to meet the production requirement and obtain ideal cost performance.

Unloading port and unloading belt: Unloading belt usually adopts 70-80% high-alumina brick, thermal shock resistant high alumina brick, spinel brick, chrome-brick. For discharge port, high alumina brick and corundum heat resistant concrete are usually used, sometimes, silicon carbide brick or castable is also a good choice.
Sintering zone: Magnesia chrome brick, sodium polyphosphate bonded magnesia brick, alkali resistant brick and directly bonded magnesia chrome brick are often used at sintering zone. Although magnesia iron spinel brick has better kiln coating adhesion effect, it’s price is too high, so low chrome periclase spinel brick are popularly used at this part.
Transition zone: Corundum brick, 50-80% high alumina brick, direct bonded magnesia brick, ordinary magnesia chrome brick and spinel brick.
Cooling zone: magnesia chrome brick, high alumina brick, phosphate bonded high alumina brick, magnesia alumina spinel brick, etc.
Decomposition zone: Clay bricks and high alumina bricks are used at the part adjacent to preheating zone. 50-60% high-alumina bricks, ordinary magnesia chrome bricks or spinel bricks are used at high abrasion and high temperature zone that connects transition zone.
Pre-heating zone: alkali resistant insulating clay bricks.
Preheater system: alkali resistant brick and insulating brick.
Cooling machine system: refractory brick, lightweight castable, insulation material. Material loading part and high temperature zone can adopt general application magnesia chrome bricks, high-alumina bricks and clay bricks can be used for the medium and low temperature areas.
