Kiln Mechanical Problems

The document discusses various mechanical problems that can occur with rotary kilns, including cracks in the kiln shell and wear issues. It addresses problems with journal bearings, thrust collars, sleeve bearings, and thrust bearings. Roller problems like point loading and irregular surfaces are examined. Methods for measuring and correcting issues like axial balance, shell ovality, tire wobbling, and kiln crank are presented.
