Axle kiln fault cause analysis
Axle kiln fault is a common but troublesome problem facing the ceramic industry. The main cause of this kind of fault is the flue under the kiln. In extreme cases, the kiln may even need to be completely dismantled and rebuilt or replaced. In order to avoid the occurrence of axle kiln fault and improve production capacity, it is necessary to understand the factors causing this kind of fault.
The most common causes of axle kiln faults include kiln liner overburn, improper burning, and improper operation. Overburning refers to lack of oxygen and overburning the kiln liner. This not only damages the glaze, but also causes damage to the kiln bottom and kiln wall due to the high temperature. Improper burning refers to insufficient oxygen, which can lead to local ash accumulation and scum accumulation, which affects the kiln firing temperature and reduces the continuity of the kiln burning. Improper operation refers to the kilns operating temperature, heating rate, and cooling rate, which are not up to the standard operating parameters required for the firing process.
In addition to these three main causes, some other causes should be considered when studying axle kiln faults, such as gas and dust accumulation, hydraulic pressure inside the kiln, and broken stokers. All of these can cause the kiln to experience an irregular firing process. Gas and dust accumulation refers to the gathering of air and ashes within the kiln, which affects the air circulation within the kiln and the firing temperature. Increased hydraulic pressure inside the kiln can cause the kiln to overheat and even explode. In addition, broken stokers can cause a decrease in heat or over-burning at certain parts of the kiln.
In summary, axle kiln faults can be caused by several different factors. The key to avoiding this kind of fault is to pay attention to the appropriate operation of the kiln and to strictly control the temperature, heating rate, and cooling rate. In addition, the kiln should be regularly checked for any dust or gas accumulation, and any broken stokers should be replaced soon. By doing so, the kiln will be able to run more smoothly and be more productive.
