When starting up a cold kiln, it is important to allow time for the tire rings to expand in pace with the kiln shell's expansion. If heat-up is too rapid, the colder tire rings can cause shell deformation, thus crushing refractories. When the tire rings later expand to full operating dimensions, this can cause 'rolling ovality' in the kiln shell.

Great information about kiln lid repairs from our friends at Paragon... At Paragon, they coat the inner lid surface of all kilns to reduce brick dust. Sometimes the refractory coating is too thick so, it will blister and flake off when the kiln is fired. An especially thick coating looks like a network of peeling cracks similar to a dried mud …
Formation and growth of mineral particle deposits is frequently observed in cement plants and occurs typical in cyclone preheaters, calciners, and rotary kilns. The extent and causes of particle deposition at different locations, however, differ significantly [12]. The build-up forming in preheater cyclones and the cold areas of calciner walls ...
Causes of ring formation. Poor-quality coal with high ash content leads to incomplete combustion and ring formation. Excessive sulfur in coal causes severe kiln crusting, resulting in blockages and ring formation. Improper burner positioning or abnormal flames can create kiln skin, rings, or even "dome" formations.
the cement kiln system. Sulfur in cement kilns is derived from both kiln feed and from the kiln fuel. The form of the sulfur dictates the location in the kiln where the SO2 generation takes place. Sulfur in the fuel is oxidized in the burning zone or calciner, and is easily removed by reactive lime present in the kiln.
The cement kiln system consists of a rotary kiln shown in brown colour which is slightly inclined and is rotating at a defined speed. Figure 9.1 illustrates the cement kiln co-processing operation. At one end, fossil fuel such as coal, oil or gas is fired with a regulated quantum of air.

lime occurs with anhydrite formation (CaSO4). If the kiln is burning under slightly reducing conditions, more volatile and lower melting sulfur salts may form, therefore increasing the severity of the problem. The salts, in molten state, coat the traveling clinker dust, forcing it to stick to the kiln wall in the form of rings.

Example of a critical coating layer formation in a cement kiln. Two main types of coating can be observed in industrial rotary kilns, namely sintered and unsintered coating layers. Sintered deposits are typically located in the burning zone, whereas unsintered coating layers are found near the solid material inlet of the kiln. ... The …
