In a process used to make quicklime, a substance used in cleaning solutions, paper mills, and the food industry among other applications, limestone is mined from calcium carbonate deposits. Once the soon-to-be quicklime limestone has been extracted from the ground it is sorted by a preliminary screen to be a maximum size of 6”. After this process, the limestone is sorted once more to reach a size of ¾”or less for the rotary kiln to produce the desired material. This is where the issue arose: the screen that had been used to classify this material was needing maintenance on a daily basis - With an upper deck design of a jam-proof Grizzly, this specific type of deck is made from abrasion resistant plate and spreads the material evenly.
