What insulation materials are needed in industrial cement plants and what are their main applications? Cement plants belong to high-temperature industries, with large temperature ranges for kiln systems, waste heat systems, and pipeline equipment. At the same time, they also consider insulation, fire resistance, smoke erosion resistance, vibration resistance, and acid and alkali corrosion resistance. Commonly used insulation is divided into two levels: refractory insulation layer (inner layer)+thermal insulation layer (middle layer)+outer protective layer (protection); Therefore, the thermal insulation materials mainly used in the cement plant are: ceramic fiber (aluminum silicate fiber), rock wool, calcium silicate board/pipe shell, nano aerogel felt, microporous calcium silicate, and refractory castables. Rosewool Insulation Refractory Co.,Ltd., as a one-stop industrial insulation material supplier, has professional technical personnel to provide you with insulation solutions for the cement industry, meeting the production of insulation materials for different parts of the cement industry;

Application of insulation materials for various parts of industrial cement plants:
1. Rotary kiln (core high-temperature part)
External kiln shell, kiln body heat dissipation and insulation, kiln hood, kiln tail smoke chamber
Rotary kiln shell: nano aerogel felt+ceramic fiber blanket composite insulation; Old projects often use ceramic fiber blankets. The high temperature and large rotational vibration of the cylinder require anti vibration, low thermal conductivity, and reduced heat dissipation of the cylinder.
Kiln hood and kiln pipeline: inner layer of refractory castable, middle layer of ceramic fiber blanket/module, outer layer of calcium silicate board. Working conditions: high temperature, dust erosion.
Kiln tail smoke chamber and rising flue: refractory castable+ceramic fiber module/blanket, high flue gas temperature, containing alkaline dust.
2. Preheater system (five stage cyclone preheater, decomposition furnace)
Parts: Preheater cylinder, cyclone cylinder, decomposition furnace, connecting pipeline, flap valve housing
Inner layer: refractory castable/refractory brick
Intermediate insulation layer: microporous calcium silicate board, ceramic fiber blanket, nano air gel blanket
Temperature control of the decomposition furnace and preheater shell to reduce heat loss and prevent scalding of the shell; The pipeline elbow is severely eroded, and insulation requires resistance to dust and airflow.
3. Grate cooler (cooling machine)
Location: grate cooler shell, hot air duct, tertiary air duct
The temperature of the tertiary air duct is very high: ceramic fiber module+calcium silicate board, some of which are compounded with aerogel, and the working condition is high temperature and hot air scouring.
Side wall of grate cooler casing: casting material+ceramic fiber blanket+calcium silicate board.
4. Waste heat power generation system (AQC boiler, SP boiler)
Location: Boiler wall, flue, steam pipeline, inlet and outlet flue of dust collector
Flue shell: ceramic fiber blanket+calcium silicate board; High temperature section can be matched with nano aerogel felt to reduce thickness.
Steam pipeline: Calcium silicate pipe shell, rock wool pipe shell (priority given to microporous calcium silicate pipe shell for high-temperature steam pipelines).
5. Grinding System (Raw Material Grinding, Cement Grinding)
Grinding machine hot air duct: calcium silicate board, rock wool board, ceramic fiber blanket;
Grinding outlet, hot air circulation pipeline, medium temperature, with a focus on preventing shell burns from high temperatures.
6. Dust collector, fan casing
High temperature bag filter shell and high temperature fan shell: ceramic fiber blanket+calcium silicate board, with color steel plate outer protection for the shell.
7. Various thermal pipelines
High temperature flue gas pipeline: ceramic fiber blanket+calcium silicate board
Steam pipeline: microporous calcium silicate pipe shell, rock wool pipe shell
Square hot air duct: calcium silicate board+ceramic fiber composite
