Before firing the flame the pressure at kiln hood has to be adjusted to 0 mbar, in case of
heavy oil combustion pay attention to an oil temperature of at least 120C (spray viscosity2E).
The firing of the flame takes place with a firing device or with the traditional fuse cord.
With the primary air (axial and radial air) the flame is to adjust in a short and compact way,
burning out in the first part of the sintering zone. The amount of fuel for heating up the plant
depends on the plant size and should be 500 to 1000 l/h at the beginning of heating up.
Rotation of the kiln during heating up with auxiliary drive, beginning with the cold
condition:
Time Rotation
After ca. 3 hours 180
4th to 12th hour Every 2 hours 120
13th to 26th hour Every hour 120
27th to 34th hour Every 40 min 120
35th to 40th hour Every 20 min 120
41th to 46th hour Every 10 min 120
47th to 48th hour Continuous with auxiliary drive
While rotating the kiln, the supporting roller bearings have to get enough oil at any time. If
necessary, the bearings have to be extra lubricated.
In the first 2 to 3 hours the initial amount of fuel is not being modified.
When reached a constant kiln inlet temperature, the amount of fuel is increased step by step.
The whole heating up process should last 36 to 48 hours. (See Heating up-
Diagram rotary kiln).
Until the first feed of material, the pressure conditions in the kiln have to be adjusted in a way,
that the fuel burns without formation of CO at the lowest amount of combustion air, and the heat
is kept in the sintering zone
