Both sides of the thrust tire
except when units are
hydraulically controlled.
Kiln drive pinion(s). Arrows
indicate position of pinion
when a single drive
arrangement is used for kiln
rotation(s) as shown. Pinions
shown at outside positions are
for dual-drive assemblies.
Kiln Support Rollers also
called Carrying Rollers,
Trunnions, Wheels, and
Rolls.
Plain tires, or riding rings
(with straight side-faces).
"Rolling" or "Contact"
surfaces (faces).
Do not refer to "compass"

Crane Hitch Arrangements for Handling Kiln Shell Sections
(Off-Loading and at Assembly Area)
Preferred arrangement, using a spreader beam and
two cradle slings. Two cranes should be used for
longer shell sections with two heavy padded
sections for riding rings.
Acceptable hitch arrangement, but anti-creep
gussets should be installed to prevent wire ropes
from crawling toward each other when the crane
starts to pick up the load. Calculate the sling
tension for the included angle & use an adequate
capacity slings.

Kiln Shell Section Alignment Tests (Alternate Arrangement)
After aligning and tack-welding span A, as for 2-section 2-support kiln (figure kiln overhead 014.cdr) or when this length
has been factory built, alignment of following spans can usually be achieved by adjusting support rollers.
completion of joint in span A will eliminate need for support at joints in following spans. Actual support
requirements will depend on section design for shipping.
Usually
Actual sequence of installation and alignment must be determined on-site to suit actual number of shipping sections.
For Alignment of Kiln with Sections as Shown Above
Finish span A as in test for 2-section, 2-support kiln (shown in figure kiln overhead 014.cdr).
Set transit on kiln axis. Lock on target 5. Cross-check on targets 4, 3, 2, 1.
Lock transit on target 8. Back-check on 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Adjust rollers, if necessary, to bring line of site within 3/32 or
2.50 mm of target centers.
Lock transit on target 11. Back-check on 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Adjust rollers, if necessary, to bring line of sight within
3/32 or 2.50 mm of target centers.
Minor errors on short fore-sight will grow on each following target. Avoid errors, save time and avoid confusion by
working from most-distant far-sight.

Shell overheated and choked inside tire. Shell expands proportional to internal heat, but must bend at sides of tire.
KILN OVERHEAD 047.CDR
Tire retainers on bend pads bite into the tire, tire and retainers become worn. When shell temperature returns to
normal, shell pad to tire clearance is excessive.
No shell migration may eventually be followed by permanent kiln shell choke-down deformation.

Field Installation of Kiln Tire Section Spider Bracing
When the pre-welded end of Brace No. 1 is at the top of the shell after 90 of rotation, shell sag moves the loose
end against the bottom of the shell and in position for welding.
Brace No. 2, and possibly No.s 3 and 4, will be needed for pad replacement work requiring frequent rotation
of the shell.
KILN OVERHEAD 049.CDR
Spider bracing is for holding the shell as round as possible for pad replacement work. Before welding bracing
to the shell, verify roundness by using trammel layout work for marking the shell axis on Brace No. 1 to establish
a reference point for radius measurements.

New measurement problems must be considered when/if internal bracing holds the shell in a perfectly round condition.
If the riding ring rests on support rollers, ovality will not have changed; now measurements will be between a round
shell and an oval riding ring.
When the riding ring is on the support rollers, and the kiln shell is round (after bracing), measure clearances at both
sides at the horizontal centerline, and at top-dead-center between shell pads and the riding ring bore surface. Add
dimensions recorded for these three check points, then divide the total by two to determine the actual diameter for
shell pads and riding ring bore.

2 - Timber cribbing stack with hydraulic jacks in place under steel saddle. Saddle and jack arrangement must raise
the kiln shell just enough ( 1/32, 1 mm, or less ) to be fully loaded for removal of both roller assemblies. *
3 - Install steel or hardwood columns for security of the temporary support arrangement during the pad removal and
replacement work period.
* - If the tire is rising with the shell. If clearance between the tire and shell pads was not accounted for, excessive
jacking will be required to lift the tire away from the support rollers.

Typical Procedure for Removing Fuller/Traylor Roller Assemblies
from the Support Frame
Cutaway view of roller assembly bearing bases shows internal arrangement of components with critical clearances.
Whenever roller and bearings are to be lifted as a complete assembly, hitching arrangements must hold bearings in
full-line contact with shafts, and with no contact at shaft seal zones.
A - Remove shaft seals. Insert wood or rubber wedges between shaft and seal inset in housing. Secure these wedges
with at least one wrap of duct tape (or similar material).
B - Edges of frame beams have machined insets for control of shaft clearance between bearing end plates. Key bars
at bottom positions on housings hold bearing housings in position against machined edges for operation of the
assembly. One or both keybars must be removed to avoid interference when the complete roller assembly is
moved toward the outside end of the support frame.

2 - Use a straightedge or a tight line for measurement from undamaged shell surfaces to the top of the depressed shell.
Measure at several points around the shell for a realistic approach for planning and preparing filler material.
The depressed zone must be filled for support of new pads. Any unfilled space, however small it may be, will allow
new pads to bend to fill the spaces as soon as rotation starts after the kiln is returned to the production department.

New Pads for Choked-Down Tire Sections
A typical, but unsatisfactory shim stack arrangement for filling spaces between shell and pads is shown at the
bottom of the shell. Since all-position fit-up work is necessary, shim stack installation is tedious (and frustrating)
work. Shim stacks are rarely, if ever, tight enough to prevent pad distortion when the work is called finished.
A more acceptable filler arrangement is shown at top of the shell, a rolled plate, at a thickness determined by prior
measurement, is used with appropriate thickness-adjustment shims for a more secure packing arrangement. In this
arrangement filler plates are welded to pad plates, not to the shell.

Height of wave patterns is a recording of
actual clearance between shell pads and
tire bore. This dimension when divided
by 1/2 Pi, indicates actual pad-to-tire

Distance between start/stop points indicates shell

B - Typical wear pattern after long-term operation with tire in offset position.
Tire & rollers must be trued up before shell repair work is started, or to eliminate overload &
misalignment in case of over-expansion or changing position of the thrust tire.
Roller set points must be recalculated to suit tire & roller dimensions after finishing the grinding

Kiln Shell Patch Plates Are Nothing More Than Temporary Band-Aids
When a patch plate is installed between a riding ring and the end of the shell, anticipate warp-related
runout at the end of the shell and in the seal arrangement.
When a patch-plate is installed in shell between riding rings, anticipate riding ring wobble at the nearest
ring (or both) and also at the seal in most situations.
Start planning for shell replacement when two or more patch plates have been or must be installed.
Cumulative effect of weld
shrinkages will warp

Rotary Kiln Installation and Maintenance Repair
Equations For Calculating Shrinkage-
(shrinkage perpendicular to the axis of a weld) is particularly important when the
shrinkage of individual welds is cumulative as, for example, in the shell-to-shell connections between rotary kiln
(and similar machines) riding ring positions (support points). Unless allowances are made for transverse weld
shrinkage - usually by spreading the joint open by the amount it will contract after welding - the cumulative
shrinkage of several shell-to-shell connections could be great enough to significantly shorten the span between
preset riding ring retainer locations or scribed reference lines.
For a given weld thickness, transverse shrinkage increases directly with the cross-sectional area of the weld. The
large included angles in (A) are for illustrative purposes only.

Company.

If original feed stencil marks have been eliminated by rubbing or by shop cleanup procedures, look for the
1/8 X 45 chamfer at one end of the roller bore zone. This chamfer will indicate the larger diameter of the
2-diameter bore for the roller.
The step-diameter lockup of roller and shaft requires the chamfer, indicating the larger shaft and bore diameter,
to be aimed toward the low, or discharge, end of the kiln.

Sketch (below) shows magnet base with a
spring-loaded tracer arrangement mounted on the
surface of a spacerpad. Tracing surface is mounted
on the flat side-face of the tire (or riding ring).
A - The tracing surface and marker may be installed
anywhere in the indicated zone. Actual position
is selected for convenient and rapid set-up during
a brief pause on rotation.
B - Although actual conditions are variable, there is no
differential shell/tire movement during rotation from
position Y to position X.
C - As the shell enters and passes through the
configuration shown between positions X and Y,
motion is recorded on the tracing surface. Shell
creep and pad to tire clearance appear as a wave
pattern on the chart.
Since the kiln shell will advance inside the tire during rotation
the marker must be placed on the tracing surface at the end of
the sheet trailing the direction of rotation. The sketch shows an
approximate pattern after four revolutions of the kiln.
High temperature metal surfaces can cause severe burns. Moving (rotating) machinery can cause hands and arms to
become caught. Avoid personal contact.

Kiln Stress Computer Program
For a Fuller Company computer data analysis of stress loading at:
- Kiln Shell
- Roller Assemblies
- Riding Ring (Tire) Ovality
Data to be obtained from plant-operator personnel, installation drawings, when available, and actual
measurements by plant and Fuller Company engineers.
CAUTION:
Drawings and records are often lost with turnover of plant personnel. Independent job shops and
contractors often supply and install replacement material and/or retrofit items which are sub-standard
or which change stress and loading factors.
With or without original reference information, actual lengths, widths circumferences and
thicknesses must be verified per accurate measurement procedures. Use an appropriately calibrated
ultrasonic thickness gauge for measurement of shell plate thickness, especially at zones affected
by erosion caused by abrasive or chemical reactions(s).

Stations 6 and 12 : 0 and 10 mm = 5.0 mm offset
also 3 and 9 : 5 and 2 = 1.5 mm offset
Low reading - close to fixed reference circle
High reading - away from fixed reference circle
Not bad - very little shell deformation and a little out of center.
