Product catalog summary
Solution Overview
Turbo-Flow™ is an innovative system designed to address common issues in cement plant operations, specifically preheater build-ups and cooler 'snow-men'. These problems can lead to reduced clinker production and increased operational costs. Turbo-Flow™ offers a complete solution by using a patented impulse system that combines high-pressure air and water to keep preheater walls and cooler areas clean.

Advantages
  • Improves burning efficiency and production by maintaining clean preheater walls.
  • Reduces the need for water-jet cleaning, enhancing safety and reducing costs and damage.
  • Allows the use of lower quality fuels with higher chlorides and sulfur content.
  • Decreases main fan electricity consumption by maintaining internal pressure.
  • Increases energetic efficiency by reducing gas diversion into the by-pass.
  • Reduces the risk of large lumps falling into the kiln, preventing stoppages.
  • Enables higher calcination temperatures in the Calciner for better efficiency.

System Specifications
  • TF-6Turbo-Flow™ System includes a Turbo-Flow™ Device, Controller, high-pressure air compressor, and air cylinders.
  • Specifications include a diameter of 142 mm, length of 845 mm, and weight of 48 kg.
  • Working pressure ranges from 300 psi to 3000 psi, with a firing frequency of 16 pulses per minute.
  • Pulse energy is 105,000 Joules per pulse, with a gas volume of 360 liters per discharge.

Operational Flexibility
Turbo-Flow™ can be activated automatically, manually, or remotely, offering full control over operating parameters such as air pressure and activation frequency. This flexibility ensures a complete solution to any build-up situation, reducing maintenance and energy consumption.

Case Study: Nesher Cement
Before implementing Turbo-Flow™, Nesher Cement faced severe build-ups requiring daily water-jet cleaning and occasional kiln stoppages. After installation, the need for water-jet cleaning was eliminated, and there were zero operational disruptions, even with high sulfur content fuels.

Conclusion
Turbo-Flow™ provides a comprehensive and effective solution for cement plant preheater and cooler issues, offering lower maintenance, greater control, and a quick return on investment.

Turbo-Flow™  Solution Advantages-1

Solution Advantages • Clean preheater walls mean better burning efficiency and increased production • Drastically reduces, even eliminates, the need for water-jet procedure; higher safety, less expenses, less damage to refractory, less stoppages The Complete Solution for Cement Plant Preheater Build-up & Cooler Snow-Man • Allows using lower quality and alternative fuels with higher chlorides and sulfur content • Main fan electricity consumption is reduced as internal pressure is not increased • Allows diverting less gases into the by-pass, thereby increasing energetic efficiency • Significantly reduces the potential of large lamps falling into the kiln, causing kiln stoppage • Enables increasing the temperature in the Calciner, leading to better energetic efficiency as more calcination can be done at the Calciner.

Turbo-Flow™  Solution Advantages-2

Turbo-Flow™ - The most effective solution for preheater build-ups and clogging Nesher Cement Case Study - Severe Riser-duct Build-up Cement kiln operation, a highly complex and sensitive process, suffers from recurrent preheater build-ups and cooler “snow-men”. These problems lead to reduced clinker production, increased operational costs, and can even cause full kiln shut-downs. To make things worse, the quest for cheaper and more readily available alternative fuels means that cement plants are using fuels rich in sulfur and chlorine, which only adds to the preheater build-up problem.
