Rotary Kiln Drive
Zonpoo rotary kiln drive is the core of lime and cement clinker production.
In the slightly inclined cylindrical tube, which rotates around its longitudinal axis during the firing process and burned into cement clinker.
The rotation has both a transport and an air injection effect. The length a kiln can be more than 100 meters.
In this type of kiln, the limestone is added at the slightly higher end and slowly passes through the kiln due to the rotation. All drive elements must also be inclined accordingly.
Zonpoo offers the latest drive systems for rotary kilns: frequency controlled electric motors, Zonpoo helical, bevel helical, and planetary gear units, auxiliary gear units with integral overrunning clutch and centrifugal brake, holding brake, auxiliary motor.
