In the cement rotary kiln, the gas moves counter-current (draft) the longitudinal movement of the material. The different types of heat transfer in a rotary kiln are:

Counter Current Rotary Kilns

The main difficulty with the counter-current kiln is the temperature gradient across the fire door which seals off the waste hopper (ambient temp.) from the kiln entry (1000 deg. C).This requires specially engineered designs and a lot of experience to make the fire door reliable and long-lasting.

Rotary Kiln

Just as a heart must never stop beating, so a rotary kiln must never stop turning. Which is why our kilns – whether the two-pier Pyrorapid® or a classic three-pier kiln – are engineered to keep rotating, even in the most challenging of process conditions. So, you can relax with the guarantee of reliable, trouble-free operation, 24 hours a day, seven …
