  • Patent number: 5944513
    Abstract: An apparatus for manufacturing cement clinker is disclosed in which raw material powder of cement pre-heated and partially pre-calcined by a pre-heating unit such as a suspension pre-heater (or a provided pre-calciner') is charged into a granulating furnace as to be granulated, thus-obtained granulated material is charged into a sintering furnace as to be sintered, and the sintered material is cooled and recovered by a cooling unit, the apparatus having a granulating furnace so that the granulating performance of the granulating furnace is improved.

  • Patent number: 5788482
    Abstract: An apparatus for sintering a cement clinker in which preheated powdered raw materials are granulated and sintered in a single fluidized bed granulating and sintering furnace. The apparatus includes a first classifying station having a discharging grooved portion extending from the fluidized bed furnace to an opening in a radial direction and communicating with a gas distributor. The space above the discharging grooved portion diverges from the opening to a fluidized bed upstream of the gas distributor so that the total velocity of air blown through the opening and from nozzles in the discharging groove is constant. A second classifying station is in communication with the opening for blowing back small particles to the fluidized bed. In a third classifying station, a discharge chute is connected to a fluidized bed cooling unit for quenching granulated and sintered clinker while small particles are blown back to the granulating and sintering furnace.

  • Patent number: 5253991
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a spheroidal particulate inorganic material of an inorganic particulate material such as spheroidal cement or slag whose respective particles are of a substantially spheroidal shape and have smooth surfaces having improved flowability and filling properties. The spheroidal particulate material is produced by subjecting the respective particles of the particulate inorganic material to a high temperature flame treatment and rapid cooling in air, or by dispersing fine particles of the inorganic material and an organic or inorganic binder in a non-aqueous solvent to form a slurry and granulating the slurry. Compositions containing the spheroidal particulate inorganic material are used in civil engineering works and construction.
