In fact the kiln torque effectet by many things as follow
1- clinker visocisty if the material sticky it will be adhisive to the kiln linning and go up with kiln rotation diriction more than the less sticky material in this case the kiln motor torque is go up due to the motor make more effort to push the
sticky material to up.
2-If burning zone is high temp. torque also go up in this case l.P will be more that is why ?
3- if kiln speed (less) no match kiln feed and kiln load the torque go up with low speed and high feed and vice versa.
4- is the kiln has heavy coating alsoo you will face high kiln torque
