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.

Existing optical-mechanical control methods and means of linearity of rotary furnace’ axis are very complicated and do not provide needed accuracy. Proposed new methods of engineer-geodetical control by total stations are not so complicated and provide needed accuracy.

The development of modern technique has led to the improved methods for the determination of geometric parameters of the big-sized rotary kilns. There are methods measuring of the rotary kilns axizes. It is shown, that use total station allow provide effective operation of this equipment.
