Global Rotary Kiln Market - Key Trends and Drivers Summarized
A rotary kiln is a cylindrical vessel that rotates around its axis and is used in various industrial processes, including cement production, calcination of materials, and waste-to-energy conversions. It operates at high temperatures to cause a physical change or chemical reaction in the material being processed. The design of a rotary kiln allows for continuous movement of materials through the cylinder, exposing them to heat and flame at controlled rates. This makes rotary kilns extremely efficient and essential in the manufacturing sectors where consistent quality and large volumes of production are necessary. The interior of the kiln is lined with refractory materials to withstand the high heat and protect the shell of the kiln, enhancing durability and maintaining performance efficiency.In recent years, the industry has seen significant advancements in rotary kiln technology.
