Metso’s air seals (marketed as Goodeal and Superdeal seals) with their overlapping steel plates provide an air seal that significantly reduces ambient air infiltration into the rotary kiln. By limiting air infiltration, fuel efficiency is improved and power consumption is reduced. The seals’ simple,...
