Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
95 words
Apparatus for heat treatment of fine material, comprising an air preheater and a fine material preheater, wherein the improvement comprises a tubular firing chamber having an axial inlet at one end which connects the firing chamber to a premixing chamber, means for introducing the preheated fine material and preheated air into the premixing chamber, to cause them to mix and then flow axially into the tubular firing chamber through the axial inlet, and a separating chamber, for precipitating the fired fine material, which is directly connected to the other end of the tubular firing chamber.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
