substances. If such consumables are released into the natural
environment, they may harm humans, animals and plants.
I. Ensure that the environment is not polluted when consumables are
stored, used or disposed of.
II. When handling consumables, be sure to comply with the applicable
national regulations for the protection of the environment.

2.9.6 Hazards in connection with the environment in which the machine is used

CAUTION

4.2 Description of functioning


A rotary kiln drive generates the torque that is necessary to put a rotary kiln into
continuous rotary motion. The torque is transmitted either via a girth gear and
pinion drive or a friction roller drive.
The main gear unit (1.3, 2.3) is mounted on the drive trunnion of the pinion or the
supporting roller axle by means of a shrink disc (1.9, 2.9). The reaction forces of
the tightening torque are absorbed by a double sided torque compensator (1.4,
2.4). By means of the holding brake (1.7, 2.7) on the auxiliary drive, the rotary kiln
can be secured against unintended turning.
For operation of the rotary kiln drive, the following operating modes are available:
Operation with main drive
The main motor (1.1, 2.1) is switched on from the control panel.
The driving torque generated by the main motor (1.1, 2.1) is transmitted via the
cardan shaft (1.2, 2.2) to the main gear unit (1.3, 2.3).
Operation with auxiliary drive
The auxiliary motor (1.5, 2.5) is switched on from the control panel or locally in
case of maintenance operation.
The driving torque generated by the auxiliary motor (1.5, 2.5) is transmitted via
the starting coupling (1.6, 2.6) to the input shaft of the auxiliary gear unit (1.8, 2.8).
The increased driving torque is transmitted from the auxiliary gear unit (1.8, 2.8)
directly to the main gear unit (1.4, 2.4). Further transmission of the increased
driving torque takes place at a reduced rotational speed via the cardan shaft (1.2,
2.2) to the main gear unit (1.3, 2.3) and from the main gear unit (1.3, 2.3) further
on to the drive trunnion via the shrink disc (1.9, 2.9).
Maintenance operation with auxiliary motor
The auxiliary motor (1.5, 2.5) can only be switched on locally.
The driving torque generated by the auxiliary motor (1.5, 2.5) is transmitted via
the starting coupling (1.6, 2.6) to the input shaft of the auxiliary gear unit (1.8, 2.8).
The increased driving torque is transmitted from the auxiliary gear unit (1.8, 2.8)
directly to the main gear unit (1.3, 2.3). Further transmission of the increased
driving torque takes place at a reduced rotational speed via the cardan shaft (1.2,
2.2) to the main gear unit (1.3, 2.3) and from the main gear unit (1.3, 2.3) further
on to the drive trunnion via the shrink disc (1.9, 2.9).

5.1 Transportation

5.1.1 Safety instructions

WARNING

Suspended loads
During lifting operations, loads might swing out or fall down. This could
lead to life-threatening injuries.
I. Wear personal protective equipment.
II. Only use approved lifting accessories with sufficient load-bearing
capacity.
III. Do not use damaged, cracked or chafed lifting accessories.
IV. Do not attach lifting accessories to sharp edges, and do not knot or
twist them.
V. Only move loads under supervision.
VI. Never work below or in the swivelling range of suspended loads.
VII. Set down the load before leaving the place of work.

WARNING

Loads swinging out


If a load with an eccentric centre of gravity is not properly attached, it may
swing out unexpectedly. This could lead to severe injuries or damage to
property.
I. When lifting a load, prevent it from swinging out.
II. If necessary, adjust the length of the slings.

WARNING

Falling or toppling loads


Loads may have an eccentric centre of gravity. If the load is not attached
correctly, it might tip or fall. This could lead to severe injuries or damage
to property.
I. Pay attention to marks and instructions concerning the centre of
gravity.
II. If you use a crane to move the load, attach the crane hook such that it
is located directly above the centre of gravity of the load.
III. Lift the load carefully and observe whether it tips or not. If necessary,
adjust the attachment.

packaging and do not remove it until assembly begins.

5.1.5 Transporting the transport units


Transport the transport units under the following conditions:
● Be sure to observe the safety symbols and instructions on the transport units.
● Cranes and fork-lift trucks must be designed for the weight of the transport
units.
● Handle the transport units carefully when unloading them, when they are
delivered and when transporting them on site.
● Transport the transport units using suitable lifting machinery.
● Only use the designated lifting points.
● Do not remove packaging until assembly begins.
● Before transporting, remove the piping or oil pumps from gear units and close
all pipe sockets and openings with weather-proof and impact-proof sealing
covers to prevent ingress of tramp material.

● Assembly personnel
Necessary personal protective equipment
● Personal protective equipment for all work (see page 2-6)
Prerequisites
● The base plates of the main motor (1.1, 2.1) are pre-aligned and provisionally
safeguarded against shifting.

For assembly of the rotary kiln drive, be sure to comply with the instructions in
the separate subsuppliers' documentation on the individual machines.

Step 1: If necessary, mount torque arms to the main gear unit (1.3, 2.3).
Step 2: Degrease the bore of the hollow shaft and the machine shaft in the area
where the shrink disc (1.9, 2.9) is seated.
Step 3: Push the shrink disc (1.9, 2.9) and the main gear unit (1.3, 2.3) onto the axle
journal (I) of the pinion shaft or the supporting roller (G).

WARNING

Incorrect tightening torques


If bolts are tightened to an incorrect tightening torque, components may
come loose. This could lead to severe injuries and damage to property.
I. Be sure to always comply with the relevant directives and design
criteria for bolted connections.
II. Never exceed the maximum permissible tightening torque.
III. Regularly check the tightening torques.

Be sure to comply with the instructions in the subsupplier's documentation


regarding the tightening torques for bolts. Do not tighten the bolts crosswise.
Make sure that the front faces are properly aligned. If during tightening, the
alignment of the front faces cannot be attained, please contact thyssenkrupp
Industrial Solutions.

Step 4: Subsequently tighten the tensioning screws of the shrink disc (1.9, 2.9)
various times, until the front faces of the outer and inner ring are in true
alignment or the required tightening torque has been reached.
Step 5: Align the rotary kiln drive.
Step 6: Mount and align the torsion rods (1.4.5, 2.4.5) with the bearing blocks (1.4.4,
2.4.4) and the rods (1.4.2, 2.4.2).
Step 7: Provide packing plates for the fastening feet. Position the main motor (1.1,
2.1).

5.5 Modifying the rotary kiln drive


Purpose
Modification of the rotary kiln drive and significant reduction of its rotational speed
in order to enable welding of circumferential weld seams on the rotary kiln shell.
Constraints
● If a dual drive is installed, only use the drive on the outward-turning end.
Required personnel
● Assembly personnel
● Assembly personnel from thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions
Necessary personal protective equipment
● Personal protective equipment for all work (see page 2-6)
Prerequisites
● Depending on the welding method and on the procedure, the circumferential
speed of the rotary kiln shell is 0.3-0.8 m/min. The rotational speed of the
rotary kiln drive has to be reduced in accordance with the circumferential
speed.
 The rotational speed of the rotary kiln drive can be reduced by means of the
following measures:
 By adding a frequency converter to the auxiliary motor (1.5) or
 by replacing the auxiliary motor (1.5) with an additional drive.

In both cases, the starting coupling (1.6) has to be replaced with a claw
coupling.
thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions shall not supply the frequency converter, the
additional drive, nor the claw coupling.
