FAQ
What raw-material information does AGICO need before sizing a shaft kiln?
+
-
AGICO needs limestone chemistry, strength, moisture, and size distribution, together with the required quicklime capacity, CaO level, activity, product size, fuel analysis, and local emission requirements.
How does a shaft kiln differ from a rotary kiln?
+
-
A shaft kiln is stationary and moves material downward by gravity through a vertical bed. A rotary kiln uses an inclined rotating shell. AGICO selects between them according to feed, capacity, product quality, fuel, and site conditions.
Can the kiln use fuel available in the buyer's region?
+
-
AGICO evaluates calorific value, ash, volatile matter, particle size, supply stability, and emission impact before confirming a fuel system. The cited TTHN arrangement is designed around coke or anthracite.
What equipment is included around the kiln body?
+
-
An AGICO project can include screening, weighing, lifting, distribution, combustion-air equipment, monitoring instruments, sealed discharge, conveying, storage, dust collection, and project-specific gas treatment.
What installation and commissioning support can be discussed?
+
-
AGICO can define engineering, installation guidance, commissioning, operator training, and spare-parts scope in the commercial proposal for the project site and contract.
