The Lime production process involves rotary kilns and associated equipment operating at very high temperatures, subjecting refractories to severe abrasion from the lime charge, significant thermal cycling, and potential chemical attack from impurities or kiln dust. Issues such as duck-nesting (build-up accumulation), ringing, and premature wear in the calcining and preheating zones can lead to reduced efficiency and costly downtime.Refractory IntegraSmart provides expert refractory solutions tailored for lime kilns and related equipment. We advise on the selection of durable materials, including high-alumina, magnesia-spinel, and insulating refractories, designed to withstand the specific thermal and abrasive conditions of the burning zone, preheater, and cooler. Our services include lining design optimization for improved flow and wear resistance, thermal mapping to identify hot spots, and guidance on effective refractory installation and maintenance practices. By optimizing refractory performance, we help lime producers extend campaign life, reduce fuel consumption, ensure consistent product quality, and minimize operational interruptions
