Compax installation

General information about

assembling and erection of a
Compax Cooler

Please note that some pictures in this presentation can vary in cooler size and form from
the ordered cooler in question. This presentation is only a supplement to the instruction
and assembly drawings.

Kiln outlet section with compax flange
Compax flange Before welding the compax flange
together; align the flange onto the
Kiln outlet. Look for match marking.
Check that the flange is faced correctly.

Look for match marking on the flange.

The flange normally come in 2-4 parts.

fully weld the shell from
both sides.

 Innershell alignment

Align the innershell parts according to

the intermediate shell on the flange.
Check that spokeplate can be installed

Install and weld the guideplates for the

Stopblocks, 1-2 mm gab between plate
and stopblock.

Now remove the intermediate shell

so the innershell can be fully
welded.

and the stopblock.

Remove the intermediate shell and weld the shell from both sides.
Now remove the intermediate shell from the flange.

 When the outer shell is finished welded
the intermediate shell is lifted back and
installed on the flange with the

Spoke plates between the outer and

intermediate shell are inserted

After the
intermediate shell
is installed can the
inner shell also be
installed.

 Cassette installation

Before inserting the cassette the

cassette must be insulated with
hydraulic castable, see compax
refractory lining drawing.
For installation purpose it is important
that the castable is not above the
cassette frame.
The cassette are installed
according to the match marking

Check that the stopblock has 100%
contact (no gap) with the cooler flange.

Inner shell stopblock is mounted as

well but after the bolt tensioning; the
block is tack welded to the flange.
Now remove these bolts again, as the
bolts must go through the kiln flange.

 Rotary part

Close all holes, in all shells, used for the

insertion of the spoke plates.

Close the hole; by welding a plate on the back

side of the flange. (The front side must be plane
for the seal mounting)

Close the holes by welding a front plate on

Intermediate shell, front side

 Shovel and rotary seal

Depending on the available lifting space.

Decide if the shovels and sealing should
be mounted on the ground or after the
cooler is mounted on the kiln

After bolting the shovels to the

shells; Weld the shovel to the
shell in front of the shovel ~8 cm

 Tunnel

Assemble the tunnel.

Make the tunnel lining according to refractory lining
drawing.
Install the 100mm insulation around the tunnel and
install and weld the covering stainless surrounding
plate.

 Tunnel inside the rotary cooler

Align and secure the tunnel inside the

cassette.

 Lifting of the rotary part and mounting on kiln flange

Check if the coolerflange is match marked with the kilnflange, if so; the kiln
position must be turned correct so the holes corresponds when the cooler is
mounted

 Lifting of the rotary part and mounting on kiln flange

In some cases it can be an advantage to

install the bottom part of the stationary
shell, before mounting the rotary part.

 Rotary part

• Fully weld the cassette locks and the last cassette over lapping plate.
• Install manholes (plate) in outershell
• Tension all bolts with torque, according to the assembly drawing. Due not tack weld
the nuts as all bolts must be torque again after the kiln have been running hot in
approx. 5 dayes.
• Install all remaining parts.
