LIME KILN SOLID FUEL BELT CONVEYORS

Matrix Engineering provided the civil, structural and mechanical design and detailing necessary for several 24" belt conveyors and support structures at Arkansas Lime's secondary crushing lime facility. Conveyors handled solid fuel coke dumped from rail cars through the roof of a fuel storage building distributing it to two different piles. The coke is then blended in proper ratio and carried from the fuel storage building to a 300 ft long rotary kiln. We also designed and detailed another belt conveyor that took lime from a new calcining facility to the rotary kiln dryer. This conveyor was 580 feet long with an elevation change of 140 ft. All conveyor truss panels, bents, and platforms were detailed to fit on rail car for delivery to the site.
