Kiln Chains

Heat-resistant chain garlands for rotary cement, lime, and minerals kilns — designed to scour internal kiln walls and improve heat exchange in the chain section.

Kiln chains hang in the calcining zone of rotary cement and lime kilns, providing surface area for heat exchange while scouring the kiln lining to prevent ring-build. Carbon and stainless alloys are stocked for varying gas-temperature regimes; round-link and rectangular-link patterns are sized to plant diameter.

Product types

  • Carbon-steel kiln chain garlands
  • Stainless / heat-resistant alloy chain
  • Round-link and rectangular-link patterns
  • Custom hang lengths

Typical applications

  • Cement kiln heat-exchange section
  • Lime kilns
  • Industrial mineral calcining

                                             Provides excellent heat transfer -- assures long chain life, low costs!

                                             Made in various stainless, special alloys, and carbon steelsi,n a variety
                                             of sizes; and configurations designed for highest necessary thermal

                                             efficiency.

                                             Flash-welded circular links have much more weight and heat-transfer
                                             surface area than Proof Coil Chain. Circular shape, which permits

                                             the slurry or work-load to pass through the links, combines with
                                             increased surface area to produce intensified heat-transfer, thus
                                             reducing fuel costs. Circular design also facilitates link rotation,
                                             ensuring maximum flexibility, minimum kinking, self-cleaning, and
                                             even distribution of wear. Flash-welding provides controlled, high-

                                             quality welds, free of foreign materials.

                                             Greater surface area and weight increase the scraping action on kiln
                                             wall, helping to prevent the formation of mud rings. Less expensive
                                             than Proof Coil per sq. ft. of surface area,                                                         Ring Chain

                                             effects further economy by requiring fewer pieces to provide the
                                             same amount of surface area. Available in ready-to-install lengths,
                                             requiring no enlarged end links. Can be heat-treated (400+ Brinell)
