    The document discusses tire elements and mechanical problems in kiln systems. It describes two classes of tire mounting, fixed and loose, and explains problems that can occur with loose tires like wear. Different filler bar designs are outlined and methods for measuring tire creep are presented. Excessive wear and creep can lead to issues like shell flexing and cracking. Steps for addressing problems include replacing worn components and ensuring proper tire lubrication.

    The key takeaways are about identifying mechanical problems and symptoms related to tires and filler bars in kilns.

    Common problems of loose (migrating) tires include wear occurring on the outer diameter of filler bars, some wear on the tire inner diameter, and wear on both sides of the tire and stop block.

    Common filler bar designs include full floating, semi-trapped, welded, rim-mounted on shell, and splined or tangential suspension.

    STEPS FOR REPLACING
    FILLER BARS UNDER A RING

    1. DETERMINE THAT BARS ARE EXCESSIVELY WORN


    2. CHECK FOR COLLAPSED SHELL.
    3. TAKE MEASUREMENTS OF EXISTING BARS
    4. DETERMINE THE DESIGN OF THE NEW BARS.
    5. MAKE NOTES ON COMPONENTS CONCERNING:
    TEMPERATURES NOISES
    POSITION DAMAGE
    Position of RR Position of Roller & Tire
    Condition of
    in relation to (note uphill or downhill)

    MAKE NOTES ON POSITION OF COMPONENTS BEFORE SHUTDOWN,
    HOT AND RUNNING
    CALCULATING COLD GAP
    SHELL DIAMETER X TEMP. DIFF. (TIRE & SHELL) X EXPANSION FACTOR
    EXAMPLE
    US METRIC
    139.76 KILN 3550 mm
    250 TEMP. DIFFERENCE 139
    .0000063 EXPANSION FACTOR .0000114

    139.76 X 250F X EXPANSION 3550 mm x 139 x .0000114


    .0000063 = .220 = 5.6 mm

    .080 = (.250 / 3.14) EXTRA GAP 2 mm = (6.35 mm/3.14)

    .220 + .080 = .300 TOTAL GAP 5.6 mm + 2 mm = 7.6 mm

    Average Filler Bar Thickness = (Tire I.D. Shell O.D)/2 Cold Gap
    TIRE LUBRICATION IS NECESSARY
