| The future generation of cement kiln technology |  |
|
| The latest cement kiln technology comprises the preheating system, calciner, rotary kiln and grate cooler. State-of-the-art systems allow clinker capacities of 12000 tons per day (t/d) and more. But, due to the greenhouse gas net-zero projections, the technology is in discussion and a number of new ideas for the replacement of the existing technology are coming up concerning how clinker can be produced in the future. However, the reality is that the existing technology is well advanced and it is difficult for alternatives to enter the market. This article outlines what you need to know today about the subject.

| | Proven wear protection concepts for long service life. Many minerals put a considerable strain on the components in bulk materials systems as they are very abrasive. Coperion masters these challenges with innovative wear protection concepts, e.g. DUROPROTECT®, that were developed based on the results of comprehensive studies. They have proven their effectiveness in practical applications with a high degree of availability many times over.

| Reliable vertical conveying of alternative fuels with ODM-high-capacity belt bucket elevators |  |
|
|  © Di Matteo
|
| | In recent years, Di Matteo has made significant advancements in the development of critical machine elements for belt bucket elevators. Innovations in bucket design, discharge behaviour, and belt and pulley cleaning have led to performance increases of > 40%, without changing the bucket width or housing size. Notably, material fallback - the proportion of bulk material that fails to reach the discharge chute and falls back into the elevator bottom – has been reduced from approximately 15% to < 5%. By ensuring proper bucket filling and emptying and maintaining clean belts and pulleys, Di Matteo lays the foundation for safe and efficient system operations when transporting alternative fuels with belt bucket elevators.
