gas burner / duct / rotary kiln

The burner system is an important and integral component of a rotary kiln system to optimize the combustion of fuels to release heat in the kiln. Safety considerations, ease and flexibility of operation, product quality, energy efficiency, maintenance costs, and the environmental impact of the products of combustion are some of the most critical areas that a kiln operator must evaluate in selecting a kiln burner.

Metso, with over half a century of experience in designing and manufacturing rotary kiln-based thermal processing systems, has the technical expertise and capability to provide rotary kiln operators with a kiln burner system that best meets their requirements. Since 1950 Metso has successfully engineered and supplied more than 300 burner systems.

At Metso we have experience with many different fuels, including conventional fuels such as coal, coke, gas and oil, and unconventional fuels such as, COG (coke oven gas), saw dust, tires, biofuels and other alternative fuels. Different types and qualities of fuels can cause different temperature profiles within a rotary kiln, which will cause changes in operations.
