FLS Kiln Inlet Lamella Seals
• Extremely flexible Sealing between
kiln and prehealer
• Independent of kiln rotation
• Insulation incorporated to protect the
lamella spring effect
• Scoop arrangement included
• Rapid and easy maintenance
• High-rated, secure sealing effect
• Straightforward Installation even on
non-FLS equipment
• 10,000 - 20,000 service hours for wear parts
(dependent on the process conditions)

Lamella Seal
The FLS Kiln Inlet Lamella Seal is
superior to the traditional
pneumatic seal because of its
modern, rugged design and
construction.
The inlet lamella seal consists
of two sets of spring steel
lamellae with a layer of heat-
resistant fabric positioned
between the two sets of
lamellae. Between the inner and
outer lamellae, a layer of heat-
resistant fabric is positioned to
protect the outer set of lamellae and
enable them to maintain their
resilience. This spring effect forces the
inner set of lamellae against the cooling
mantle and provides a seal.
To prevent overheating of the kiln shell and sealing
parts, a separate fan delivers cooling air to the
space between the kiln shell and the cooling
mantle. It also supplies air to the cooling air
chamber, which cools down the shell surface of the
kiln riser transition piece.
If back spillage occurs, the scooping system (a
system of open scoops made of heat-resistant steel)
collects the spillage in the bottom of the scooping
chamber and, as the kiln rotates, lifts it and returns
it to the kiln. In the smoke chamber, the exit gases
will suspend the spillage and carry it up into the
kiln riser pipe.
