Certain laws of the chain curtain operation: a case study of the rotary kiln at OAO Ulyanovsk-Cement

The article considers the basic provisions for designing chain curtains for rotary kilns using the wet method of clinker production. It is shown that the process of design should focus on the chain surface area only, not on the chain weight. Mathematical dependences are suggested between the formation of granules and characteristics of raw slurry.
