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.

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.

Abstract: A sintering method of cement clinkers in which preheated cement raw material powder is granulated and sintered in a fluidized bed granulating and sintering furnace, and granulated and sintered clinkers are introduced into a cooling device, for manufacturing high-quality cement clinkers by use of a single fluidized bed-granulating and sintering furnace efficiently with a small heat loss, wherein clinkers are discharged from the fluidized bed granulating and sintering furnace through a clinker dropping hole which is provided in a fluidizing gas distributor of the furnace or in a radial direction extending from the gas distributor, an opening area of the clinker dropping hole is regulated by a gate portion to maintain the differential pressure in a fluidized bed within a predetermined range, air for classifying and cooling the clinkers is blown into a discharge chute connected to the clinker dropping hole, the amount of the blown air is regulated to make the flow velocity of the air blowing from the clinker drop

Abstract: A method of sintering cement clinker is provided including the steps of introducing raw material for cement to a spouted fluidized bed granulating furnace which includes a perforated distributor having a plurality of nozzle holes; passing fluidizing gas through at least one of the plurality of nozzle holes into the spouted fluidized bed granulating furnace while simultaneously blowing classifying gas at a selected flow velocity that is different from the flow velocity of the fluidizing gas into the spouted fluidized bed granulating furnace through a dropping port arranged facing and between the fluidized bed of the spouted fluidized bed granulating furnace and in communication with a fluidized bed sintering furnace; granulating the raw material in the spouted fluidized bed granulating furnace; discharging granules formed in the spouted fluidized bed granulating furnace into the fluidized bed sintering furnace while classifying the granules with the classifying gas; and sintering the granules injected into the
