Understanding Pellets and Pellet Plant Operations

Fig 2 Typical schematic diagram of straight grate system. The grate-kiln system depicted in Fig 1 consists of a traveling grate for drying and preheating the pellets to about 1040 deg C, a rotary kiln for uniformly heating the throughput to the final induration temperature of 1315 deg C, and an annular cooler for cooling the product and heat recuperation.
