Functional diagram of the inductive heating of a rotary kiln reactor in cement production: so-called susceptors are added to compensate for the poor electrical conductivity of the raw material. These components, shaped as metal balls in the picture, efficiently convert the energy transferred by induction into heat and distribute it evenly throughout the vessel.
