Instruction
A cockle is an edible marine bivalve mollusk. Many small edible bivalves are loosely called cockles, true cockles are species
in the family Cardiidae.
A bivalve is an animal that has two hinged shells, which are called valves. All bivalves are mollusks. Examples of bivalves are
clams, mussels, oysters, and scallops. Bivalves are found in both freshwater and marine environments.

Calcium oxide (CaO) is usually produced via thermal decomposition of limestones obtained through mining and quarrying.
However, this study manages to exploit the vast availability of natural calcium sources (Anadara granosa) or locally known
as cockle shell in Sea lines. The efficiency of the calcination process that transforms calcium carbonate (CaCO3) to calcium
oxide (CaO) was often depended on the variable involved. Therefore, we wish to demonstrate the effects of experimental
variables (calcination temperature, heating rates and particle sizes) on calcination of CaCO3 via thermos-gravimetric
analyser (TGA). Analysis of XRF, XRD and SEM were also conducted on the CaO produced after calcination.

Cockle shells were obtained from the local market. Refined palm olein of Tenera hybrid was purchased from Delima Oil
Products, Malaysia. The fatty acids composition of the oil was found as: myristic acid 0.8%, palmitic acid 41.3%, stearic
acid 3.6%, oleic acid 44.0%, linoleic acid 9.8%, and traces of other acids.

An estimate of the availability of shell for use in aggregates indicates that there is potentially around 103,000t/yr of shell
waste that may be suitable for aggregate applications & building materials application.

General Production
Calcium carbonate, CaCO3, commonly found in rocks occurs naturally as the main component of crustacean shells. Due to
its varied polymorph properties, the mineral is widely used in diverse applications such as an active ingredient in
agricultural lime, as a heterogeneous catalyst for biodiesel production, as a biomaterial for use in bone repair and as a
biosorption material to remove heavy metalions. Hengyang Industry Machines for the utilisation of CaCO3 from seashells
has been of recent interest, for example in the utilisation of the mineral from crab shells as a catalyst and a biosorption
material. Apart from highpriced crab and molluscs such as oyster, cockle is inexpensive and consumed as part of the daily
diet. In China, cockle contributes to about 14% of marine aquaculture production. Therefore, there is an abundant supply of
blood cockle shells. In addition, the shells do not have any other important uses and are normally discarded as waste. Due to
the abundance of these seashells, they have a high potential to be utilised as a cheap source of CaCO3 for industrial
applications.

Cockle shells or Anadara granosa has been touted as an alternative for the calcium carbonate sources instead of using the
limestone. Mining large quantities of rocks can contribute to the environmental damage and engage with the high cost for
environmental compliance. Hengyang’s Technology also proved seashells to have higher composition of calcium oxides
compared to the limestones. After use Hengyang Technology, blood cockle, Anadara granosa, were used as the starting
material. We was design to evaluate the influence of operating conditions on the minerals of Anadara granosa shells by heat
treatment at various temperatures, particle sizes and heating rates, and to subsequently use the resulting material for the
formation of calcium oxide (CaO). CaO associated with carbonaceous material has been of recent interest in applications
such as transesterification catalysts and sorbents for sulphur dioxide. The utilisation of the economic resources of waste
biominerals from blood cockle shells is expected to promote the commercial application of the resulting calcium oxides.
To the best of our knowledge, there are few reports on the exploitation of the vast availability of waste cockle shells from
marine aquaculture as potential natural resources for calcium oxide compared to other seashells such as scallop shell and
oyster shell. Therefore, this study was carried out with intent to determine the influence of different calcination condition
(temperature, heating rate and particle sizes) on the production of calcium oxide using cockle shell as raw materials based
on thermo-gravimetric analyses.

Material Handling & Processing Methods


The cockles were washed thoroughly with tap water, scrubbed using brush to remove impurities and boiled for 15 minutes
at 100℃. The cockles were then cooled at room temperature before the contents of the cockles were removed leaving
behind only the shells. The shells once again cleaned using distilled water and then sun-dried for one day. Drying is
important to prevent the agglomerate during the grinding process. The cockles were crushed into small pieces with pestle
and mortar before being grounded into powder form. The powder obtained was then sieved into three different of particle
sizes (0.3 mm, 0.425-0.6 mm, and 1.18 mm) using a kiln furnace.

Four Roller Crusher
Series 4PG stone four roller crusher is mainly used for the crushing of
medium-hard mines and rocks in cement, chemical, electric power,
metallurgy, building materials, refractories and other industrial sectors,
such as the secondary crushing and fine crushing of limestone, slag, coke,
coal and other materials.
Roller crusher is mainly made up of roller wheels, roller support bearings,
clamping and regulation devices and drive devices.

Working principle:
Roller crushers have a theoretical maximum reduction ratio of 4:1. If a 2
inch particle is fed to the roller crusher the absolute smallest size one
could expect from the crusher is 1/2 inch. Roller crushers will only crush
material down to a minimum particle size of about 10 Mesh (2 mm). A
crushes using compression, with four rollers rotating about a shaft,
towards the gap between the rollers. The gap between the rollers can be
adjusted to the size of product desired, with the realization that the largest
feeding particle size can only be 4 times of the gap dimension.

Rotary Dryer
Despite the introduction of new technology, the long established Rotary Rotary Dryer is still
widely regarded as the workhorse of many process industries. The robust yet simple
construction combines flexibility with reliability, enabling this type of dryer to handle a vast
range of materials and to operate continuously under the most arduous conditions. The design
also permits the use of the highest possible drying temperatures and in contrast to other dryers
is not sensitive to wide variations in material size, moisture content or throughput.
Principles of Operation
In its simplest form, the Rotary Dryer consists of a slightly inclined rotating cylinder, fitted
with a series of peripheral flights arranged to lift, distribute and transport the material. The
flights are designed to suit the particular handling characteristics of the material, which may
vary with increasing dryness. The principle of operation is based on showering, or cascading
the wet material through a hot gas stream, flowing either co-current or counter-current to the
solids. The hot gas induces the evaporation of the moisture. The heat lost to the material and evaporation of water vapor
reduces the gas temperature rapidly, such that it leaves the dryer at a comparatively low temperature. The efficiency of the
dryer is largely dependent on the differential between the inlet and exhaust gas temperatures, although the heat transfer rate
is also influenced by the relationship between the design of flights and the speed of rotation. However, irrespective of the
gas and material temperatures the drying (or residence) time may be critical, as this is governed by the rate of diffusion of
water from the core to the surface of the material. For special applications, the rotary cascade design is adapted to provide a
shortfall, or ‘Cruciform’, lifter configuration.

Ball mill Liner


Ball mill linings from dajia-engineering protect your mill from the abuses of mineral processing while allowing high
grinding and crushing efficiency.

Our ball mill linings are designed from rubber or casting steel or rubber composite materials according to your application
and throughput requirements.

Rotary Kiln tyres (Rings)


The purpose of tyres (often called riding rings) and rollers is to support the kiln and allow it to rotate with minimal friction.
Rotary kilns are among the largest items of permanently moving
industrial machinery, the largest examples weighing in their
fully-loaded form several thousand tonnes. Despite the challenges
of their size and their high temperature, the best examples of
rotary kiln rotate on their rollers almost frictionlessly, the power
supplied by the drive being almost entirely in order to oppose the
eccentric load of the contents of the kiln. On cutting the power to a
kiln, the kiln will “roll back” and unless a brake is applied, will
continue to swing like a pendulum for ten or fifteen minutes
before coming to a standstill. This finely-tuned mechanical
condition requires sophisticated design of the kiln’s supports.

A standardised design evolved during the first three decades of the twentieth century, allowing the great escalation in size of
kilns that then followed.

Kiln Support Roller


Kiln Support Rollers are backed by latest technology and provide
desired support to cables and other related products. These support
rollers are driven to rotate using friction between roller surface and
web. The small friction torque of the roller bearings also allow
higher speed operations and helps in avoiding possibilities of
slippage due to presence of large air film between roller surface and
web.
