Kiln actuator
A kiln actuator is a heavy-duty mechanical,hydraulic,pneumatic,or electric device that automates the movement of kiln components(e.g.,damper flaps,burner valves,feed gates,or kiln tilt mechanisms)in response to control signals.It ensures precise,reliable operation under extreme conditions(high heat,dust,corrosion).
Key Functions
Draft Control:Adjusts damper positions to regulate airflow/exhaust gases.
Fuel Management:Modulates burner valves for optimal combustion(gas/oil/coal).
Material Feed:Controls feed gates/chutes for consistent raw material input.
Kiln Rotation/Tilt:Drives rotation mechanisms(in rotary kilns)or tilt adjustments.
Cooling Systems:Operates air/water cooling valves.
Applications:
Cement Kilns:Fuel valve control,preheater dampers.
Ceramic Kilns:Burner modulation,kiln car positioning.
Lime Kilns:Feed chute actuators,exhaust gas recirculation.
Metallurgical Kilns:Oxygen injection,slag-tapping systems.
