Abstract
A rotary kiln construction wherein the kiln cylinder has an annular bearing ring for supporting the kiln in rotation with spacer plates located between the ring and the outer surface of the cylinder and circumferentially spaced from each other with supporting assemblies at each axial side of the bearing ring secured to the outer surface of the cylinder having retaining elements projecting on both circumferential sides of the plates and being radially outward of the plates to provide a radial inward support to the plate ends constructed for retaining the plates and for ease of replacement and removal without rewelding the full plate assembly on the cylinder.
Claims12
A rotary kiln construction comprising in combination:
- a rotary kiln cylinder having a cylindrical outer surface;
- an annular bearing ring for supporting the kiln in rotation and having an inner circumference larger than the outer circumference of the cylinder;
- a plurality of spacing plates located between the ring and cylinder and circumferentially spaced from each other;
- and
- support elements at each axial side of the bearing ring secured to the outer surface of the cylinder having retaining elements projecting on both circumferential sides of the plates and being radially outward of the plates to provide radial inward support to the plate ends.
A rotary kiln construction comprising in combination:
- a rotary kiln cylinder having a cylindrical outer surface;
- an annular bearing ring for supporting the kiln in rotation having an inner circumference larger than the outer circumference of the cylinder;
- a plurality of spacing plates located between the ring and the cylinder and circumferentially spaced from each other;
- and
- support elements at circumferentially spaced locations around the cylinder for maintaining the spacing plates in location and supporting the bearing ring axially, at least one of said support elements including a dog welded to the outer surface of the cylinder and a retaining element welded to the dog with said retaining element axially engaging the bearing ring and having means at each end for holding the spacing plates radially inwardly.
