staircases.
1.6- Limestone Weighing Hopper before the skip (with load cells) (1Set)
The skip hopper has a volume of approx 3.5 m3 corresponding to approx. 4500 kg of
limestone.
The lime kiln is charged batch wise by means of a skip hoist. A pre-determined amount of
limestone is prepared in the skip hopper and charged into the skip bucket.
The amount of stone filled into the skip hopper must be limited to 4500 kg otherwise there is
the danger of overflow of the following charging system.
The hopper is over the skip bucket and placed onto weighing cells.
The skip (weighing) hopper trap is opened by means of a hydraulic cylinder and closed by
means of a counterweight and hydraulic pressure at the cylinder. In case of a total power
failure the trap closes by means of the counterweight only.
Volume: 3,5 m3

The reversible belt conveyor distributes the limestone to the rotating buckets.
http://www.apv-ltd.ru/en/product/hym-500/?view=printable 20-02-2017
Lime plant Page 5 of 19
To discharging the limestone into the shaft the rotating bucket will be lowered hydraulically.
The shaft closing trap serves for a safe closing of the shaft. Before charging the kiln the trap
lowers hydraulically to open the shaft
The shaft closing traps are located above the kiln shafts.
The traps open and close the shaft and are moved due to hydraulic cylinders.
Tightness is achieved by means of special silicon rubber seals.
The level indicators are installed directly on top of the shafts and are used for measuring the
filling level of the shafts. The level indicators are equipped with hydraulic rotary drives and
probe weights, which continually monitor the stone level.
The reversal traps allow supply of the burning shaft with combustion air, or the waste gas
coming from the regenerative shaft to exit the kiln. For this purpose they are changing their
position by means of hydraulic cylinders.
The filter/ chimney trap can be used to feed the waste gas to the filter or, if necessary,
directly to the chimney.
The filter/ chimney trap are installed above the reversal traps on the stone hopper platform.
The positions "waste gas to chimney" or "waste gas to filter are set by a hydraulic cylinder.
If the waste gas filter fails, the kiln is stopped and the exhaust air is conducted to the
emergency chimney by switching the filter/ chimney trap.
The inward and outward movement of the table causes the lime to fall off of the outer edge
of the table.
The discharge tables are located below the kiln shafts and are used to discharge the burnt
lime.
The discharge tables consist of four steel plate segments connected crosswise to each other.
The segments are made up of two steel plates and an intermediate ceramic fibre plate, which
pre- vents the plates from warping due to differences in temperature.
http://www.apv-ltd.ru/en/product/hym-500/?view=printable 20-02-2017
Lime plant Page 6 of 19
Each pair of segments rests on four rollers, which allows for easy movement and makes
maintenance unnecessary.
Each of the connected two segments is shifted back and forth by hydraulic cylinders, which
causes the lime to fall off of the outer edge of the table.
This type of discharge device ensures a steady vertical movement of the lime in the shafts.
Two beams are mounted crosswise above the discharge table to cover the gaps between the
segments and to support a conical displacement body used to cover the center opening
The discharge traps are located underneath the lime collecting hoppers of the shafts.
The traps discharge the burnt lime collected in the conical discharge hoppers installed
underneath the shafts during the burning period. For this purpose, the traps are opened and
closed by means of hydraulic cylinders.
Counterweights close the traps in the event of a power failure or a failure of the hydraulic
power unit. The traps can be locked in their upper position by means of a mechanical locking
device (e.g. for maintenance purposes).

22 pressure switches for the control of the air shock blowers
The compressed air is released by rapidly opening cylinders through connecting pipes and
heat resistant nozzles.
2- Refractories For HYM Kiln (1 Set)
The lime kiln is operated at high temperatures. Burning zone temperatures, at times, reach
up to 1'100 C. This is why the kiln shafts are completely lined with refractory materials.
The pre-heating and cooling zones of the kiln are lined with an abrasion-resistant material
and backed by insulating firebricks. The wear lining in the burning zone consists of magnesite
and high- alumina bricks, backed by a lining made of light fire clay and insulating bricks as

Lime plant Page 7 of 19
well as a ceramic fibre mat. The work lining has a thickness of 250 mm, while the total
thickness of the wall is about 500 mm.
The arrangement of the bricks is simple as shown in the figure be- low. No burner bridges or
devices that may affect the stone/lime while it passes through the kiln have been installed

Gunning mass for corrosion and noise protection to be installed in the top sections of the two
shafts. Thickness of the protection approx. 100mm.
3. Refractories Lining
Main components
Manually operated shut-off valve,
Flow measuring device,
Control valve for natural gas
Safety Shut-off valves ,
Double block shut-off valves for shaft 1,
Double block shut-off valves for shaft 2,
Double block shut-off valves for start-up burner,
Electrical Equipment
The gas reversal and safety rack is designed fail safe. That means that in case of de-
energising the pilot solenoid valves the fuel shut-off valves will close automatically by spring
force. The venting valves between the main shut-off valves will open automatically by spring
force.
In normal kiln operation the manually operated shut-off valve, must be open.
The double block valves open and close cyclically in order to feed fuel gas to the burner
lances at the burning shaft.
The valves control the required gas flow.
http://www.apv-ltd.ru/en/product/hym-500/?view=printable 20-02-2017
Lime plant Page 9 of 19
These control valves can be set to either automatic or manual mode by the kiln operator.
The gas flow is measured by means of a vortex meter. The PLC converts the measured flow
using the pressure measuring instrument, and the temperature measuring instrument, , to a
flow expressed as normal flow (0C/1013 mbar base).
Fuel is fed to the burning shaft only during the fuel feeding time FFT.
A filter unit is arranged behind the main shut off valve (50 my).
4.1- Burner lances for natural gas (66 Pcs.) and equipments.(1 Set)
The burner lances are suspended from steel structures covered by protection boxes. The
length of the burner lances depends on the range of stone size to be burnt in the lime kiln.
The horizontal position of each single burner lance is well determined to achieve an optimal
distribution of fuel over the cross section of the shaft.
The burner lances can be changed from the outside of the kiln.
Fuel gas which is supplied by the gas reversal and safety rack arrives at the reversal valves at
a pressure of maximal 4.0 barg.
For each single burner lance two non return valves have been provided. One for fuel gas and
one for lance cooling air. For uniform fuel gas distribution through all lances, orifices are
installed, directly before entering the lance body.
Fuel gas is supplied to the burner lances only during the fuel feed time. During burn out time
and the kiln reversal the reversal valves are automatically closed.
Lance cooling air is provided by means of ring ducts at both kiln shafts. Similar as above for
fuel gas each burner lance is connected to that ring duct. The total amount of lance cooling
air is uniformly distributed by means orifice plates installed close to the burner lance
connection unit .
The inside diameter of the orifice plates must be adjusted to achieve a pressure approx. 400
mbarg at full kiln capacity.

Rotary piston blowers are installed to supply combustion air, lime cooling air and lance
cooling air to the lime kiln. This blower type supplies constant volumes of air, almost
independent from the pressure drop in the material column in the kiln shafts.
The blowers are mounted in a specially designed sound insulated concrete house with
soundproof doors. The air is aspirated into the blower room through a concrete channel via
silencers and filters.
Aspiration filters as well as suction and pressure silencers are installed on each blower.
Between each blower and the collection air ducts non-return and safety valves are installed.
Both in the combustion and cooling air ducts to the kiln shafts relief valves are installed to de-
pressurise the kiln during reversal periods.
All blowers with the exception of one combustion air blower and one lime cooling air blower
are driven by AC-motors with fixed speed. One combustion air blower as well as one lime
cooling air blower and one spare for both are driven by variable speed motors allowing
control of the air flow into the kiln depending on production rate and quality parameters set.
All air is aspirated into the blower house through a concrete channel. To prevent dust from
entering into the blower room an aspiration filter is installed in the concrete channel.
Furthermore an aspiration silencer is installed in the channel to reduce noise emissions to the
outside to the level set by the relevant authorities during the permission procedure.
Blowers are sized for 25 % spare capacity, stand by blowers for combustion / lime cooling air
and lance cooling air.
Roots type blowers for the supply of combustion, cooling and lance cooling air.
? All the blowers will be supplied completely pre- mounted on frames including each:
- Suction filter
- Inlet silencer
- Blower body
- Coupling or V-Belt
- Motor
- Outlet silencer

The combustion air relief trap releases the kiln pressure while it is being opened. When set to
its open position, the trap provides exit to the outside. In doing so, the trap relieves the kiln
and releases the combustion air supplied by the combustion air blowers. For this purpose, the
trap is opened and closed by a hydraulic cylinder.
The cooling air relief trap relieves the lower part of the kiln while its being opened. When set
to its open position, i.e. when the exit to the outside is open, the trap vents the cooling air
produced by the blowers outside. For this purpose, the trap is opened and closed by a
hydraulic cylinder.

7- Jet Pulse Bag Filter For Kiln (Waste gas dust cleaning system)
A suction type bag house filter is installed to reduce the dust content of the waste gases
leaving the kiln to a level compatible with environmental requirements.
The waste gas filter collects the dust in the exhaust air.
The fan draws the exhaust air through the waste gas filter. The filter bags are cleaned with
compressed air.
The filter dust is collected in a conical hopper underneath the body of the bag house filter. A
screw conveyor discharges the filter dust to a rotary valve in to a dust silo.
If the temperature of the exhaust gas is too high, quench air is fed in to avoid filter damages.
If the waste gas filter fails, the kiln is stopped and the exhaust air is conducted to the
emergency chimney by switching the filter/ chimney trap.
The unit runs PLC controlled. No manipulation by the operator is required. Settings can be
made in the visualization system.
