Cement Kiln Fuel Preparation

Vecoplan shredders are used in the size reduction of materials such as post-industrial plastic, tires, and wood scrap for use as fuel in cement kilns. Material is shredded to an optimal size to provide maximum BTIU value and then is injected directly into the cement kiln and used as fuel.

Traditionally, fossil fuels have been used in cement kilns as fuel. However, alternative secondary fuels can help to meet the energy requirements necessary for cement manufacturing and reduce the environmental impact or cement production. Pre-treatment shredding of cement kiln fuel helps to release the tremendous amounts of energy stored within these alternative fuels. The alternative fuels originate from consumer waste or byproducts from industry. For example, shredded tires are used to produce tire derived fuel and make up for a large portion of alternative fuels burned in cement kilns. Pre-shredding feedstock material can result in better quality burn material and help recover the energy value of cement kiln waste fuel material.

Vecoplan manufactures the ultimate shredders for cement kiln waste fuel preparation. Able to shred plastic, wood waste and a multitude of other waste material with incredible efficiency, Vecoplan waste shredders are the ideal solution for shredding cement kiln fuel feedstock as well as complete systems for processing, sampling and delivering alternative fuel material to cement kilns.
