Cement Kilns: Planetary Coolers

Clinker dropping back out of the cooler over the firing pipe was a another nuisance. A further mechanical problem was in the design of the kiln. The cooler assembly was very heavy, the mass being supported largely by the kiln's front tyre, and unless many closely-spaced tyres were provided, the kiln was subject to large bending forces.
