About this document

Lubrication Impact on Kiln Tyres by Visnu Sankar is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document discusses the debate around lubricating the interface between kiln tyres and shells. It presents two case studies, one where the surfaces showed severe wear with no lubrication, and another that was well-preserved with lubrication. It argues that some sliding and creeping necessarily occurs between the tyre and shell due to thermal expansion differences. Proper lubrication can prevent excessive wear from this relative motion and help maintain the desired gap between components over the kiln
