IMPROVING DRIVE SYSTEM EFFICIENCY FOR LARGE-SCALE ROTARY KILNS
The objective of the present article is to ascertain the forces emanating from the interface between the girth gear and the pinion, which exert a direct influence on both the loading of the kiln supports and the selection of an optimal open-gear drive configuration for large-scale rotary units. Significance. Ensuring the straightness of the kiln shell axis constitutes a pivotal challenge in the design and operation of large rotary units.
