Impact of the Clearance between Kiln Tyre and Backing Plate on Production and its Adjustment Measure
Based on the operation data of ?4.8m×74m rotary kiln, it briefly descrbes the measuring method of the clearance between the kiln tyre and the backing plate by measuring the thermal expansion and slippage, and the impact of clearance size on the operation of rotary kiln and its adjustment measures. Excessive clearance between the kiln tyre and the backing plate would easily cause the breakage and fall-off of the refractory bricks and shorten its service life, while too small clearance would easily cause uneven thermal expansion of the rotary kiln and result in the "necking" phenomenon, which would seriously affect the safe operation of the kiln. By strengthening the lubrication and maintenance, adjusting the thickness of the backing plate, replacing the backing plate, etc., the clearance between the kiln tyre and the backing plate could be ensured within a reasonable range, which reduce costs of kiln maintenance, and further improve the operation rate of the rotary kiln.
