1.6 Loss of kiln feed. A loss of feed is a situation where the kiln feed devices like feeders, auxiliary transport or extraction equipment lead to a reduction or a total loss of the kiln feed. Since no heat is absorbed by the missing feed, the system starts to overheat, which may lead to equipment failures due to overtemperature.
