Ifthe lamps of buildup are large enough they can become worn into round balls as they move down the kiln. Because of ther size. these balls camnot clinkerise completely in the burning zone and their centres are composed of unburnt material having a very high free lime content. ‘These balls can also be caused by broken out pieces of meal rings which sometimes occur near the kiln inet. See this discussion for a typical example of this phenomenon;- hitp:/www. cemnet,com/Forum‘thread/150028/re-boulder- formation. him! The cause of the slabs and buildups fling into the kiin inlet is invariably an excessive sulphur recirculation cycle due to high CO (too little ©2) at the kiln inlet. ‘What is the S03, K20 and Chloride content of your hot meal? Do you frequently have high CO/low 02 content in the gases at the kiln inlet?Haye you broken open the largest balls and analysed their centres (for fiee lime, S03, K2O and Chloride)? Do you regularly experience buildups/slabs filing nto the kil inlet? Regards, Ted.
