Kiln Shell

)es#ription o, t!e kiln s!ell #al#ulation basi#s

The shell is a rotating dru* *ade %ro* rolled steel plates4 These shell sections
have the sa*e inside dia*eter ut di%%erent plate thic#ness4 ;ll sections are
'elded together4

The shell thic#ness is a result o% so*e calculations, the so6called Kiln Static4

>asic %or the #iln static are so*e *echanical rules and so*e li*iting %actors
%or the shell *aterial, the so6called Design /riteria4

The design criteria %or a #iln shell is the >ending Stress4

Di%%erent #iln areas have di%%erent Loads4

)es#ription an$ ,un#tion o, t!e kiln tire

The tire is a steel ring on the outside o% #iln shell4 It 'or#s as an

sti%%ener %or the #iln shell4 The #iln tires have to carr" the #iln 'eight4

Functions? •   Trans%er load %ro* shell to the rollers

•   Keeps the shell in a round shape
