Lime Industry
Lime IndustryMayerton designs linings for use in lime manufacturing. Materials are chosen for rotary pebble kilns, vertical shaft kilns and rotary hearth/recovery kilns. Dependent on kiln, the areas divide into zones: charging, pre-heating, calcining, burning and discharge, cooling, safety and insulation. |

Mostly, bricks demonstrating refractoriness, resistance to thermal shock and volume stability line severe furnace operation areas. Bricks include: magnesia-spinel; magnesia-chrome (silicate bonded, direct bonded and rebonded); mid and high alumina (alumina content 50, 60, 70, and 80%); fireclay bricks (super, high, medium and low duties plus semi silica). Castables coat areas exposed to less arduous service conditions, areas hard to reach and areas requiring repair. Chemically bonded refractory castables exhibit strength and density combined with volume stability from ambient to elevated temperatures. Associated features include abrasion resistance. Monolithics include: fireclay; mid alumina (50 & 60%); high alumina (70 & 80%); and phosphate. |
