Small scale lime kiln with low investment and fast cost recovery
Small lime vertical kilns really have advantages in terms of investment. Unlike large kilns that require expensive equipment, their core components have a simple structure, low procurement costs, and a small footprint. They also save a lot on building factories and laying foundations, which ordinary entrepreneurs or small and medium-sized enterprises can afford.
From the perspective of construction cycle, it is easy to install and can be put into production without waiting too long. Producing one day earlier can earn money one day earlier. Speaking of operating costs, small lime kilns do not have high requirements for fuel. They only need to burn ordinary coal or coke, and the fuel cost is much lower than that of large kilns. Moreover, their thermal efficiency is not low, and the quality of the lime burned is also stable, so there is no need to spend extra effort on improving the process.
More importantly, the demand for lime in the market has remained stable, and it is indispensable for industries such as construction, building materials, and metallurgy. Producing with a small lime kiln requires less investment and lower daily expenses, resulting in a larger profit margin for selling lime. It won't take long to recoup the initial investment. So, small lime shaft kilns have low investment and fast cost recovery. For those who want to do lime business but do not want to take on too high risks, it is indeed a good choice. Moreover, its technology is mature, the operation is simple, and there is no need to hire too professional technicians. It can also save labor costs and further accelerate the speed of cost recovery.
