Abstract

The purpose of the investigation was to determine the relationship between rotary kiln liner loss and steel structure ovality. As measurement apparatus, a terrestrial laser scanner was used. The interior and exterior of the rotary kiln were measured. The primary focus object was inner-lining loss and the geometric characteristics of cylindrical shells. The research uncovered significant disparities in inner lining loss between sections. A correlation was found between ovality and elimination of inner lining. Due to the hypothesis of constant inner linig loss from the middle of the rotary kiln, the investigation found that the loss of brick lining was less than the value reported from the boreholes. The study offers significant information on maintenance and repair strategies for rotary kilns, which have the potential to increase their efficiency and useful life.
