Abstract: In a method for reprocessing wet waste materials containing organic components, in particular sludges in a cement clinker production plant, in which raw meal is preheated in a preheater (3) in countercurrent flow to the hot exhaust gases of a clinker furnace (2), and calcined in a calciner (4) fired with alternative fuels, the wet waste materials are dried in a drying unit (18) using a hot gas produced from the preheater waste heat and the dried waste materials and the drier exhaust gases are discharged from the drying unit (18), wherein the drier exhaust gases are introduced into the calciner (4).

Abstract: In order to make sure, for cement clinker production lines with blown injection of dispersible solid fuels such as, for example, coal dust, into the calcinator which is provided with fuel, that an open flame does not occur at the fuel injection point, it is proposed according to the invention that the fuel is fed into a meal intake box that has a sloping raw meal chute and deflector slide and is arranged on the outside of the calcinator and connected to it through a wall opening and the fuel is pre-mixed with the pre-heated raw meal there, and then introduced via the deflector slide into the reaction section of the calcinator in order to form a gas-raw meal-solid fuel-suspension that is uniformly distributed.
