Burned Lime Industry

To minimize energy consumption in lime production, Skamol supplies
highly insulating Calcium Silicate boards and Diatomite bricks.

The Wisaforest Mesa kiln, Jacobstad, Finland
L 135 m and diameter 4.75 m

Skamol has supplied insulating materials to the lime industry for many years and continuous efforts are made to provide customer specific energy saving solutions.

The Skamol products are used as back-up insulation. The superb thermal conductivity of the products is an important factor to conserve energy and to secure a good thermal efficiency in the furnaces.

The strong Skamol M-EXTRA insulating bricks are beneficial for the rotary Mesa kilns at pulp and paper mills.

Lime Sludge kilns / Mesa kilns

Mesa kilns

	The linings in Mesa kilns are typically a 2-layer construction of refractory and insulating materials, such as a high alumina wear-resistant block, backed up by M-EXTRA Diatomite bricks.

Shaft kilns
Annular Shaft kiln	The lining is dependent on position, typically: a 2-layer construction of refractory and insulating materials, such as a high alumina wear-resistant block, backed up by insulating materials, e.g. Skamol Super-1100 E and/or Skamol Super-ISOL
