Grate Kiln (GK) Process The unit comprises three equipment viz grate, rotary kiln and circular cooler. The green balls are first dried and preheated on the straight grate by gases discharged from the rotary klin followed by hardening in a counter flow manner in the rotary kiln and air cooling in an annular circular cooler.

The production of iron ore pellets is often performed in the so-called Grate-Kiln process. The aim of the process is to oxidize the magnetite (Fe3O4) to hematite (Fe2O3) and to sinter the pellets so they can be used in steel manufacturing. The heat required for this is produced by combusting a pulverized fuel in a rotary kiln, forming a …

It is extremely important for the operator to master cooler controls as well as other control functions of the rotary kiln system, because the cooler itself performs an integral part of the clinker-burning process. Cooler conditions influence the burning process in the kiln and consequently, the quality of the clinker.
