Understanding the Basics of Rotary Calciner

Image
Heavy industries place rotary calciners as one of its top pieces of equipment, and its calcination process is equally important to the product quality. Rotary calciners are high-temperature machines used for processing materials into the desired form by either altering the state and composition of a material or by removing moisture. A rotary calciner is used for various material processing applications. A rotary calciner can be  used to act as the reaction channel  for a host of specialised operations in the chemical, metals, and mineral industries. It can be applied using calcination, thermal desorption and drying. Calcination During calcination, the product changes its form chemically or physically under a specific temperature for a required amount of time. Calcination can involve reduction, oxidation,  removal of chemically bound water,  pyrolysis and crystal structure changes. Calcination is often referred to as thermal processing, and this is because an Indirect rotar
