Once the pellets are discharged into the kiln, the grate chain returns underneath. The grate is driven by a motor with gearbox or hydraulic drive. The grate is supported by rollers. Rotary kiln. The final induration of the pellet is accomplished in a rotary kiln, wherein the principal heat transfer mechanism is radiation from the system's main ...

The pelletizing process, where the crude ore from the mine is upgraded, involves several steps, including grinding, balling, and induration; see Figure 1 to the left. In the grate-kiln induration process []—see Figure 1 to the right—the sintering is mainly taking place in a rotary kiln, where the pellets increase their strength and metallurgical …

Ferrexpo and Outotec have a long history of collaboration. Outotec's predecessor, Allis Chalmers, delivered the first two grate kiln (GK) pelletizing plants to the Poltava mine in 1976. The plants, with a rated capacity of 3 Mtpy, included a so-termed traveling grate for drying and preheating green ball iron ore pellets, a rotary ...

Kiln/Cooler Calculation Formulas . Material Residence Time in Kiln. The retention time of the material in a dry rotary kiln can be determined with the formula from Duda Cement Data Book: Material Filling Degree in Kiln

Deposit formation in the coal-fired rotary kiln is frequently found in the production of fluxed iron ore pellets by the grate-kiln process and affects normal production. In this paper, the effects of pellet basicity (CaO/SiO2 mass ratio) on the simulated deposit formation were investigated. The results show that the porosity of deposits samples increases from 30.8 …

Since the induration occurs in the rotary kiln, the pellets produced in a Grate-Kiln system are uniformly high quality. Hot pellets from the rotary kiln are discharged directly to the annular cooler where they are leveled to a uniform bed depth and conveyed over the primary and final cooling zones. 46 Straight Grate pellet plants designed 46 ...

Rotary kiln process for iron ore oxide pellet production is hard to detect and control. Construction of one-dimensional model of temperature field in rotary kiln was described. And the results lay a solid foundation for online control. Establishment of kiln process control expert system was presented, with maximum temperature of pellet and …

The size of a rotary kiln is not only a function of capacity, but also of the amount of heat which can be generated inside the rotary kiln from the volatizing and/or combustion of the material. The diameter and length of the rotary kiln are calculated based on the maximum feed rate, the required retention time, and what the bed profile (how ...
