Negligent sacrifice? Take a look at the video...!! It looks like a thriller. But it's real! 😱 What motivates someone to allow such kiln damage to occur? Low management, poor maintenance, inadequate operation, bureaucracy, lack of interest? The list is endless... 😖 Don't let that happen to the kiln! 🤔 Fortunately, ICC specialists can help the cement plant with the technical-operational assessment program. We develop and execute a continuous improvement action plan customized to the plant. The results are optimization of thermal and electrical energy consumption, stable operation, total productive maintenance, emission reduction, delivery of a report for the use of raw materials or alternative fuels, and, of course, better quality cement. Our partners develop and supply products, services, technologies, and solutions for your rotary kiln.

Attack on the refractory? ⚔️🛡️ The heat exchange inside the rotary kiln (hot gases and raw meal) constantly generates the processes of evaporation and condensation. These processes, in turn, produce some elements such as alkalis, sulfur, chlorine, and sulfates, which cause chemical attacks, thermal attacks, and mechanical wear of the refractory lining in different sections within the preheaters, ducts, kiln, and coolers. Take a look at the video...!! You will see the wear sources of the refractory lining in the rotary kiln. Chemical, operational, and thermal stability is essential to reduce or control excessive wear of refractory linings. Through our technical assessment program, the ICC specialists and partners can help your cement factory achieve a successful campaign of refractory linings, in addition to recommending the most suitable refractory bricks, mortars, or concretes. In the web book "𝗜𝗹𝗹𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗲" by Rainer Nobis (translated into Spanish by Juan Ortega) you will find a chapter that deals with the cement kilns development and burning technology.

Protective shield? When we talk about kiln coating, we can refer to: 🟢 Protective coating on the refractory lining, formed during the kiln operation under the influence of high temperatures of the material as it flows through the refractory lining in the transition and burning zones; 🟠 Scale formed below 1100ºC by alkaline salts and sulfates, mainly in cold areas (lower temperature) as preheaters; 🔴 Coating to an undesirable degree developed in excess (sulphur-spurrite rings). Take a look at the infographic...!! You will see how the silica and aluminum ratio affect the liquid phase and the coating profile. ✅ AM: Alumina Ratio (modulus), ✅ SM: Silica Ratio (modulus). ICC specialists can support your cement factory. In this way, you will achieve the best productive performance of the rotary kilns and improve electrical and thermal consumption. Through a physical-chemical assessment of raw materials, fuels, and combustion, it is possible to stabilize and maintain the coating in the rotary kiln, achieving a longer duration of the refractory lining.

Super-hot...!! It is logical to assume that the kiln is hot. 🔥 But can high temperatures harm the kiln? 🤔 Sure, when there is overheating of the kiln. 🔥🔥 The kiln is overheated when the amount of heat available in the burning zone is higher than of heat needed to complete the clinkerization process. I quote four causes of kiln overheating: ⛔ A rapid rise in secondary air temperature ⛔ Increase in fuel calorific values ⛔ High fuel flow rate ⛔ Easy to burn raw mix (chemical variation) Take a look at the infographic...!! You will see one of the formulas for calculating the rotary kiln thermal load (The data in the formula are examples; Therefore, they do not represent referential values or our recommendation). You will learn relevant technical and historical facts about the development of cement rotary kilns in the webbook "𝗜𝗹𝗹𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗲" by Rainer Nobis (translated into Spanish by Juan Ortega). ICC specialists help your cement plant through the technical-operational assessment program. In this way, you will achieve the best productive performance of the rotary kilns and optimize electrical and thermal consumption. Also, obtain OEM spare parts, nano-ceramic linings, ceramic dip tubes, ceramic core damper for tertiary air, kiln shell cooling systems, and other innovative technologies for the rotary kiln.

Cement Testing Cement, in its many forms, is one of the most widely used materials in the built environment. Since Roman times, mixtures of pozzolan and non-hydraulic lime have been used to produce hydraulic cement. Modern hydraulic cements began to be developed around the Industrial Revolution (approximately 1700). Currently, cements come in various formulations, including 'Ordinary' Portland cement, white cement, rapid hardening cement, sulfate-resisting cement and masonry cement. They can also come as blends, including Portland blast-furnace cement incorporating ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) and Portland fly-ash cement incorporating fly-ash. Sandberg offers a comprehensive range of cement testing, encompassing both physical and chemical testing, utilising BS, EN and ASTM methods.

BITUMEN 60/70 USES Bitumen 60/70 is a type of bitumen, a viscous, black, sticky material obtained from petroleum distillation. The numbers 60/70 denote the penetration value of the bitumen, which indicates its hardness or softness. In this case, 60/70 means that the penetration value falls between 60 and 70 tenths of a millimeter. Bitumen 60/70 finds various applications across industries due to its properties. Here are some common uses: 1- Road Construction: Bitumen 60/70 is extensively used in road construction as a binder in asphalt mixes. It provides durability, weather resistance, and flexibility to road surfaces. 2- Roofing: It is used in the manufacturing of roofing felt and shingles due to its water-resistant properties. 3- Waterproofing: Bitumen 60/70 is employed as a waterproofing agent in various applications, such as sealing roofs, basements, and tanks, to prevent water penetration. 4- Paving: It is used for paving driveways, parking lots, and walkways due to its ability to adhere to aggregates and create a durable surface. 5- Industrial Coatings: Bitumen-based coatings are used for corrosion protection in pipelines, tanks, and other industrial equipment. 6- Emulsions: Bitumen emulsions made with 60/70 bitumen are used for surface treatments and tack coats in road construction. 7-Adhesives: It serves as a base material in the manufacturing of adhesives for various industrial applications. 8- Soundproofing: Bitumen-based materials are utilized in soundproofing applications due to their ability to dampen sound vibrations. 9- Marine Applications: Bitumen 60/70 is used in marine construction for waterproofing docks, piers, and other marine structures. 10- Paints and Primers: It is used as a component in some paints and primers, especially those designed for outdoor or high-traffic areas due to its weather-resistant properties.
