Abstract
A mechanism and method for preheating a coarse fraction and a more fine limestone fraction in a shaft preheater including a first central vertical inlet for receiving the coarse fraction which forms a descending core in a vertical preheating chamber, and a second vertical inlet receiving the finer fraction annularly around the core, directing a first upper gas feed radially into the fractions with the gas first penetrating the outer finer fraction and then the inner fraction, and directing a second heating gas flow at a lower level into the core to bring the core up to the temperature of the outer layer, with the gases being received from a rotary kiln, and mixing the fractions and directing them to the rotary kiln from the lower end of the preheating chamber.
