Abstract
Abstract A rotary kiln is sealed against the infiltration of air and the escape of gases and dust by means of a slip ring seal. One ring is mounted on the housing and the other is mounted about the periphery of the rotating kiln. The two are urged into firm sliding engagement by means of a series of compressed aircylinders acting on points about the edge of the stationary ring.
