Kiln inlet cone diameter is more than outlet
cone why?
• Inlet cone diameter always has more than outlet diameter because mean
density of feeding material has less as compare to density of discharge
material .
• Density of the sponge iron is more than mean density of feeding material
like iron ore, coal, dolomite. (Density of sponge iron> Mean density of
feeding material)
• So to control the proper discharge of material at the outlet of kiln we take
less diameter of the cone than inlet cone diameter.
Bulk density
• Lumps
  sponge iron bulk density-1.7 - 1.9 t/
• Fins sponge iron bulk density-2.0 - 2.20 t/
• Bulk density of bituminous coal-0.8 t/
• Bulk density of hametite-2.7 t/
• Bulk density of dolomite-2.87 t/
• Average bulk density of lumps and fines sponge iron> (average of
bulk density of bituminous coal, dolomite, hematite)
500TPD rotary kiln
• Kiln inlet cone diameter=1350mm
• Kiln outlet diameter = 1150mm
