Abstract
A method for the partial or total removal of deposits and/or linings from rotary kilns by introduction of a conically shaped break off roller into the rotary kiln. The break off roller rotates together with the rotating kiln and this results in the roller impacting with its tools onto the interior surface of the kiln to break off parts thereof and to shake and vibrate the interior of the kiln to cause a collapsing thereof. The break off roller has a larger end and a smaller end and elongated guiding means for the disposition and guidance of cutting means and adjustable stabilizing means, and means for breaking and/or reversing the movement of the roller.
Claims7
An apparatus for the removal of deposits from and/or linings of rotary kilns that have a substantially horizontally disposed longitudinal axis, comprising a partially substantially conically shaped break off roller adapted to be placed into the interior of a rotary kiln for rolling upon the interior surface and having means for moving forward within, said rotary kiln solely due to the rotation of said rotary kiln, said break off roller having a larger end and a smaller end, and further having elongated guiding means for the disposition and guidance of further means thereabout, cutting means for cutting and crushing matter to be removed from within the rotary kiln, and disc means disposed about said elongated guiding means for mounting said cutting means from the periphery of said disc means.
