Service life of lime kiln refractory bricks

The service life of lime kiln refractory bricks is closely related to the working environment, material quality and maintenance and other factors. Therefore, it is difficult to give specific standard values for the service life of lime kiln refractory bricks. The following will introduce the factors affecting the service life of lime kiln refractory bricks and the methods to prolong the service life of lime kiln refractory bricks.

一. Factors affecting the service life of lime kiln refractory bricks

1. Working temperature

Lime kilns need to withstand high temperature firing environment during the production process, usually between 1200°C and 1400°C. Since high temperature will have a certain impact on the physical and chemical properties of refractory bricks, the service life of lime kiln refractory bricks is often related to the working temperature they are subjected to.

2. Kiln barrel rotation speed

The limestone material in the lime kiln needs to continuously rotate in the kiln barrel, which means that the refractory bricks in the lime kiln need to withstand large mechanical impact and shear force. If the kiln barrel rotates too fast or not smoothly, it will cause excessive mechanical wear on the refractory bricks, resulting in excessive wear on the surface of the bricks, cracks or broken bricks, and shorten the service life of the lime kiln refractory bricks.

3. Material quality

The material quality of refractory bricks is one of the important factors affecting its service life. The refractory bricks in the lime kiln are usually made of high-quality refractory materials such as high-alumina bricks or magnesia-alumina bricks. If the quality of the materials is not satisfactory, the bricks will be prone to cracking, peeling, aging and other problems, which will accelerate the damage of the bricks and the shortening of the service life. reduce.

4. Use and maintenance

Lime kilns need to be cleaned, maintained and repaired regularly during the production process to ensure smooth operation and efficient equipment operation. Proper maintenance can prolong the service life of lime kiln refractory bricks; on the contrary, if neglected or not maintained in time, it will accelerate the wear and aging of lime kiln refractory bricks.

To sum up, the service life of lime kiln refractory bricks is affected by many factors, and needs to be evaluated and selected according to specific conditions. In order to prolong the service life of lime kiln refractory bricks, it is necessary to pay attention to scientific and reasonable selection of materials, strengthening of equipment maintenance and maintenance, and reasonable adjustment of process parameters.

二.  the method of prolonging the service life of lime kiln refractory bricks

1. Select high-quality refractory bricks

Choosing high-quality refractory bricks suitable for the working environment is the key to extending the service life. Generally, when purchasing lime kiln refractory bricks, it is necessary to consider its material quality, chemical composition, physical properties, slag resistance, erosion resistance and thermal shock resistance.

Zhengzhou Zhenjin Refractories Co., Ltd. provides you with high-quality, low-cost and high-performance refractory bricks for lime kilns, including magnesia-alumina bricks, magnesia-iron bricks, anti-stripping high-alumina bricks, silica-molybdenum bricks, etc.

2. Strengthen equipment maintenance and maintenance

Regularly inspect and maintain the equipment of the lime kiln, including repairing the kiln body, replacing bricks, cleaning accumulations, etc. In this way, the equipment can be in the best condition, reduce the failure rate of the equipment and prolong the service life of the equipment.

3. Optimize the production process

Control the firing temperature and flue gas composition of the lime kiln to reduce damage to refractory bricks. At the same time, optimizing the production process can shorten the residence time of materials in the kiln and reduce the wear on refractory bricks.

4. Operate the equipment correctly

During the firing process, the materials in the lime kiln should not be excessively stratified or accumulated, so as not to cause excessive friction and wear of the kiln barrel. In addition, care should be taken to control the rotation speed of the kiln barrel to avoid damage to the refractory bricks due to excessive or unstable rotation.
5. Use wear-resistant coating

For some parts that are often subjected to mechanical impact and shear force, wear-resistant coatings can be used for protection to alleviate the wear of refractory bricks.
In short, the key to prolonging the service life of lime kiln refractory bricks is to select high-quality refractory materials,

strengthen equipment maintenance and maintenance, optimize production technology, operate equipment correctly and take necessary protective measures. These methods can effectively reduce the damage rate of lime kiln refractory bricks and prolong their service life.
