POLRO® 2-support kiln
These days, thanks to optimisation of the precalciner system, a large number of rotary kilns fully meet the requirements of the burning process with a length to diameter ratio of up to 15:1.
With the POLRO® system from Polysius, a kiln with these dimensions can be built as a two-support version.

The POLRO® rotary kiln has a statically determined support configuration on only two roller stations and has a direct drive system. The kiln shell with its splined tyres rotates on self-aligning rollers, which automatically adjust themselves to the momentary running conditions. The kiln is directly driven via the rollers of the inlet-end roller station. This system supersedes the previously conventional girth gear and pinion mechanism. The POLRO® is rounded off by pneumatic inlet and outlet seals, hydraulic axial thrust system and air-cooled inlet trough.
Thanks to the statically determined support configuration, this kiln design is characterised by high operating reliability, minimal maintenance and inspection requirements and therefore very low operating costs.
