twin-shaft lime kilns structural features
1. The twin shafts lime kilns have two parallel kiln chambers, which are connected through the connecting channel at the lower part of the lime kiln body. The calcination process has two characteristics: parallel flow and regenerative(heat storage). Parallel flow means that the high temperature flue gas and the limestone flow in the same direction when the limestone is tempered. This is conducive to calcining high-quality active lime. Heat storage means that the high temperature flue gas of kiln chamber 1 enters kiln chamber 2 through the connecting channel at the lower part of the two kiln chambers. The high temperature flue gas flows upward in kiln chamber 2 to preheat the limestone in the preheating zone to a higher temperature. The schematic diagram of the structure of the kiln body explains the working principle very well. This principle makes full use of the waste heat of the exhaust gas to ensure that the kiln has high thermal efficiency.
2. The masonry inside the kiln body is to build refractory materials of different materials according to the different characteristics and working temperature of the working zone, so as to meet the use requirements of each part.



Specifications and Technical Characteristics of Twin-shaft Lime Kiln
1. Production capacity: 300t/d-800t/d. The operation flexibility of the twin-shaft lime kiln can be from 70% to 100%. Take 300t/d lime kiln as an example. The production capacity can be adjusted arbitrarily within the range of 210t/d-300t/d, and stable operation can be achieved without affecting the quality and consumption indicators.
2. Limestone particle size: 30mm-60mm, 40mm-80mm, the particle size range ratio is 1:2.
3. Type of fuel: The twin-shaft lime kiln can use blast furnace gas, converter gas, coke oven gas from the iron and steel industry, calcium carbide furnace tail gas from the calcium carbide industry, natural gas, producer gas, liquefied petroleum gas, heavy oil, pulverized coal and other fuels. The highest single kiln production capacity of pure blast furnace gas can reach 400t.
4. Lime products: lime quality is good, the activity is 360ML (the highest can reach 400ML, 4N HCL method for 10 minutes), and the CO2 residue is less than or equal to 2%.
5. Low heat consumption: 860kcal/kg lime.
6. High operation rate: 48 weeks of continuous operation per year.
