Abstract

An improved sealing structure for a rotary kiln utilized a leaf riding band attached to a truing flange on the kiln's rotating hopper using a plurality of clamps connected to a radial flange on the leaf riding band. The clamps hold the truing flange and radial in abutting sealing relationship without the need for bolts passing through the truing ring.
