Introduction For over half a century, Claudius Peters has had an established reputation as a cooler specialist in the global cement industry. The company began by marketing in Europe the grate cooler under licence from Fuller. Through its own advancements and optimisations on this design, Claudius Peters developed its own grate cooler, which is now in operation all over the world. Many of these improvements - such as the hydraulic grate drive (1975) and the roller crusher (1979) - are now standard elements for all cooler manufacturers today. In recent years, Claudius Peters' efforts have been focused on achieving an optimum clinker distribution over the width of the reciprocating grates incorporated in the cross motion grate in 2000 - as well as a fall through free cooler with a low as construction height as possible. This was achieved in a cooler in 2001.

increased as their maintenance costs and the wear and tear on parts have reduced. These improvements have largely been driven by design and process technology solutions. At the forefront of this effort for the past five decades, Claudius Peters has been responsible for many of the innovative new developments that have led to these advances.

incorporates a highly efficient transport system. With a significantly reduced number of parts, and no conveying elements in the clinker bed, maintenance costs and wear and tear have been dramatically minimised.

The complete lower section of the h-Cooler is a modular design. Just two different lengths of standard modular elements are combined to optimise cooler sizes from 1,000-12,000t/d. The required cooler width is achieved by modular design of the transport lanes. Each module is delivered completely pre-assembled, thereby minimising erection times on site. The -Cooler Static Inlet The HE (High Efficiency) module narrows in the direction of the inlet by means of refractory concrete to achieve an optimal clinker distribution on the subsequent dynamic lanes. With the HE module, which consists of a static inclined grate, the risk of snowmen forming is virtually eliminated, while also ensuring a permanent clinker layer on the module itself. The aeration of the HE module is carried out via small

can be installed in the housings of existing grate coolers with only minor

sections and the air quantity can be adjusted by means of manual flaps. Due to the flexibility of the air distribution, it is possible to coincide with the corresponding kiln discharge conditions and the changing environment due to the use of different fuels and raw materials.

means less wear - significantly reducing exchange and maintenance work no obstructions to the clinker flow constant transport efficiency over cooler life uniform cooling, since there are no un-aerated areas

Targeted air distribution - Chamber side aeration

Transport System The -Cooler uses a new transport Depending on the required throughput capacity, a corresponding number of transport lanes are installed side by side, each supported on rollers. Due to the parallel, individually driven and aerated transport lanes, the flow behaviour and material speed at the sides can be actively influenced, thereby preventing a red river. The slots for the air supply are integrated in the transport lanes by adapting the Mulden plate principle. Each transport lane is sealed by means of a labyrinth, which eliminates the need for a dust removal system. This together with the fact that the transport system can the be laid horizontally makes -Cooler design Aeration Concept Since no installations inside the clinker layer are needed the whole cooler bottom is fully aerated leading to uniform cooling and optimum recuperation. Additionally the -Cooler makes still use of the chamber aeration principle - a well proven aeration concept in grate cooler design. However, in contrast to reciprocating grate coolers the -design allows for a longitudinal division into chambers, which gives the advantage of chamber side aeration, improving cooling at the critical side areas of the cooler and reducing the risk of red rivers. extremely compact. A particular advantage of the system is that no installations inside the clinker are needed for the material transport. system for the cooler technique. This system is based on the well proven 'walking floor' system that has long been tested for bulk materials handling. The -Cooler consists of parallel transport lanes which are moved together in the direction of the clinker transport (forward groups stroke) and individually or alternatively in backwards (backward stroke).

Drive System The -Cooler is equipped with a hydraulic cylinder drive. Depending on the number of transport lanes, the structure is modular and uses standard parts, which do not require major maintenance or adjustment. The hydraulic cylinders attributed to each transport lane make a long stroke possible, which is controlled by an integrated continuous position measuring system.

The Claudius Peters Roller Crusher- The Original! The roller crusher consists of air-cooled, hydraulically or mechanically driven rollers, whose operating width matches the width of the cooler grate. The number of rollers depends on the clinker capacity to be crushed. Each roller is equipped with high wear and temperature resistant cast crushing rings. The roller crusher is a modular design for capacities up to 12,000t/d. For high temperature crushing the roller crusher is equipped with a cooling air fan. Due to the crushing method, the roller crusher is able to continuously crush large lumps up to 2 metres in diameter without stalling. The low rotational speed of the rollers guarantees the highest possible lifetime and low maintenance costs.

Claudius Peters Measuring and Control Systems Reliable and low cost operation requires a modern automatic control system. Claudius Peters continues to develop new features for optimum control of the kiln-cooler process. Claudius Peters Level Radar The Level Radar system ensures online measurement of the clinker bed height in the cooler inlet, which is the most critical area of a clinker cooler. This development is specifically designed for abrasive, hot, dusty conditions and gives a reliable and exact signal for the clinker bed height. Tested over several years in various plants, the Level Radar systems are used for controlling the cooler grate speed. Additionally, the unit is designed to quickly recognise buildups in the cooler inlet area.

maintenance and repair costs. The modular design and reduced wear mean major cost savings are achievable. The transport system has no conveying elements within the clinker layer, which have to be replaced. Furthermore, no dust removal system is required, while an extremely low construction height is called for. This all adds up to lower investment and operating costs for the cooler. Also, again due to the modular design of the
