FlowJam Application Newsletter 05/2016 Cement processing in cyclone dust heater Flow metering with MaxxFlow HTC Application An important part of the production of cement is the processing of raw meal in the cyclone dust heater. During this process cement meal is heated by an airstream. Thereby CO2 is extracted from the cement. At the beginning of this process raw meal is stored in a silo, from where it is discharged via an air slide into a bucket elevator. The bucket elevator trans- ports the cement up to the entry of the calcinator. Between the air slide and the bucket elevator the material quantity is measured in freefall.

Solution The MaxxFlow HTC measures high mass flow rates for dry solids from the exit of pre feeding devices e. g. screw conveyors, air slides or elevators.

Flow metering with MaxxFlow HTC

ApplicationAn important part of the production of cement is the processing of raw meal in the cyclone dust heater. During this process cement meal is heated by an airstream. Thereby CO2 is extracted from the cement. At the beginning of this process raw meal is stored in a silo, from where it is discharged via an air slide into a bucket elevator. The bucket elevator trans-ports the cement up to the entry of the calcinator. Between the air slide and the bucket elevator the material quantity is measured in freefall. Before the installation of the MaxxFlow HTC a Coriolis unit was used, to measure the material quantity. In case of an equipment failure of the Coriolis unit the material fl ow was interrupted. Therefore our client looks for a measuring device without installations in the air stream, to avoid an interrup-tion of the production process.

SolutionThe MaxxFlow HTC measures high mass fl ow rates for dry solids from the exit of pre feeding devices e. g. screw conveyors, air slides or elevators. In this application the quantity of raw meal is measured in freefall between an air slide and a bucket elevator. Our customer looks for a measuring instrumentwithout installations in the fl ow stream. The MaxxFlow HTC is a non-contact device, which can measure the material accurately.

Customer benefi t • Avoidance of over- or underdosing

• Low installation height

• No installations in the fl ow stream
