Pre-industrial Lime Kilns

In general lime kilns developed from the flare kiln . to the more economical continuous draw kiln. Draw kilns had a permanent grate fixed over the hearth and limestone was stacked above this, alternating in layers with fuel. As the fuel burned the calcified limestone dropped down and was raked out, while new layers of fuel and limestone

Typically the kiln is driven at speeds of 0.5 to 2 RPM, often with variable speed arrangements. Typical transit times for the lime through the kiln are from 1.5 hours to 4 hours under normal operating conditions. This is set by the speed and by the slope of the kiln, which is between 1.5° and 3° (5/16 to 5/8 inches/foot).
