What are the types of lime production equipment
Lime production equipment is the core support of the lime industry, with various types and functions. The common types are vertical kiln, rotary kiln, double-chamber kiln, etc.
Vertical kiln is a traditional lime production equipment with simple structure and low investment cost. It can complete the calcination process by moving down the self-weight of materials, which is suitable for small-scale production or scenes with low requirements on lime quality. However, the vertical kiln has relatively low thermal efficiency and large labor intensity.
Rotary kiln is the main equipment for modern lime production. The kiln body can rotate slowly to make the limestone fully contact with the hot gas flow, calcine evenly and stabilize the product quality. With large production scale and high degree of automation, it can flexibly adjust process parameters to adapt to different quality limestones, and is widely used in large lime production enterprises.
Double-chamber kiln is famous for high efficiency and energy conservation. It is alternately operated by two shaft kilns, one for calcination and the other for preheating, with high heat utilization rate, which can greatly reduce energy consumption. Moreover, the produced lime has high activity and good quality, which is suitable for enterprises with high requirements on lime quality and energy conservation.
Moreover, there are sleeve kiln, beam kiln and other equipment, each of which has its own advantages. Enterprises can select appropriate lime production equipment according to their own production scale, lime quality requirements and cost budget.
