Clinker vs Kiln Feed Factor Calculator

Calculate clinker factor from kiln feed: LOI, dust loss, ash absorption & bypass dust correction

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Enter raw meal loss on ignition: LOI % from chemical analysis
  2. Enter process losses: preheater dust loss %, dust LOI, bypass dust if applicable
  3. Enter fuel ash absorption data: coal ash %, ash incorporated %
  4. Click Calculate: to see clinker factor (ton cli / ton feed), feed factor (ton feed / ton cli), and dust recirculation impact

Raw Meal & Process Losses

Loss on ignition; typical 34–37%
% of kiln feed lost as dust
LOI of the collected dust
Ash absorbed into clinker; % of feed
If applicable; % of feed
LOI of bypass dust if applicable
