POLGUIDE - opens up new possibilities in kiln mechanics
New two-support kiln concept POLGUIDE-2S
• L/D ~ 14.2 (e.g. 4.8 x 68 m, Germany)
• self-adjusting roller station
• self-aligning POLGUIDE kiln drive
• loose kiln tyre fixation (optional: splined tyre fixation)
• hydraulic axial kiln thrust system
POLGUIDE - opens up new possibilities in rotary kiln mechanic
POLGUIDE
• best available technology
• applicable for many kiln sizes
• suitable for kilns with two, three,
four or more supports
Girth gear
• Welded or cast variants available
• Higher primary gear ratio
• Smaller gear modul
• Even teeth meshing
• Smaller main gear box
contact face
Self-aligning pinion
angular pivoting bearing
curved-tooth gearing
guide journals
drive shaft
pinion body
guide ring • assures parallelism of pinion and girth gear axis
in case of wobbling and lateral movements
• optimum contact pattern in every operating
state, NO edge loading by gearing
Guide rings
• Ensure constant centre distance
guide rings
• Axial conduction of the pinion to
the girth gear
• Compensates for speed
difference
between the contact surfaces
guide journals
Floating mounting
pinion unit
floating bearing
• Compensation for all axial
movement
floating bearing
• Axial guide through the guide rings
