1. KHAI THÁC ĐIỀU KHIỂN PAINPOINT

Managing the final stage of clinker cooling is a critical bottleneck with direct consequences for plant profitability. Inefficient clinker cooler operation leads to excessive heat loss, reducing thermal recovery for your preheater and calciner systems. Unstable cooling results in clinker quality inconsistencies, causing downstream grinding inefficiencies and potential cement performance issues. Frequent maintenance interventions for grates, thủy lực, and fans create unplanned downtime, while highpressure fans drive significant electrical energy consumption. Bạn đang phải đối mặt với chi phí năng lượng tăng cao trên mỗi tấn clinker? Is your cooler refractory and mechanical component lifespan shorter than expected? The solution lies in optimizing this essential link between the kiln and the finish mill.

2. TỔNG QUAN SẢN PHẨM: Grate Clinker Cooler

The Grate Clinker Cooler is a critical heat recovery and conditioning machine installed directly after the rotary kiln discharge. Its primary function is to rapidly reduce clinker temperature from approximately 1200°C to below 100°C for safe handling and storage, while simultaneously recovering and supplying hot air to the kiln and calciner.

Quy trình hoạt động:
1. Inlet & Phân bổ: Redhot clinker from the kiln enters via an inlet hopper and is evenly distributed across the full width of the stationary inlet grate.
2. Grate Transport & Primary Cooling: Reciprocating grates convey the clinker bed forward. Highpressure cooling air is forced upward through the grate plates and clinker layer, providing intensive quenching.
3. Thu hồi nhiệt: A significant portion of the heated cooling air is directed as secondary air to the kiln combustion zone and as tertiary air to the calciner, directly improving kiln fuel efficiency.
4. Làm mát lần cuối & Phóng điện: The clinker moves through subsequent grate zones with controlled air volumes for final cooling before being discharged via a drag chain or roller crusher at the cooler outlet.

Phạm vi ứng dụng & Hạn chế:
Phạm vi: Designed for dryprocess cement plants with rotary kilns, suitable for capacities from 1,500 đến hơn 12,000 TPD. Effective for a wide range of raw mix compositions.
Hạn chế: Performance is highly dependent on consistent clinker granulometry; extreme variations can lead to uneven air distribution (piping). Not designed for wet process kilns or as a standalone unit without integrated heat recovery ducting.
