TY - JOUR AU - Polishchuk, V. AB - (UDC 66.047.057) N. F. Atamanchuk, I, V. Toryanik, and V. S. Polishchuk Romanov Glass Factory Translated from Steklo i Keramika, Vol. 23, No. 6, p. 38, June, 1966 The operation of drying drums for drying sand, chalk, dolomite and other materials has shown that the charging part of the drum is unsatisfactory and requires improvement. The charging gutter of the drum (Fig. 1) consists of two tubes, one of which is intended for feeding the material, and the other for preventing it from getting burnt. Lumps of material (chalk) formed with high-moisture contents, clog the gutter which, being in the path of the moving gases, is rapidly burnt out. This prematurely wears out the front part of the drum. Replacement of the gutter by a gutter of the covered type at the factory and lowering the roof of the burner (Fig. 2) improve the working conditions for the drum. The material being charged is fed now not at one point of the drum, as previously, but is distributed over a wider front. Experience with the use of the drum with this improvement in the batch department of our factory shows that it is useful to carry out these changes.
