Definition / notes:	This refers to a rotary kiln that produces cement clinker. Below the firing floor is where there is a conveyer/chute that takes the clinker through a rapid cooling area so this would make sense that the crust is carried out that way. It seems to be the floor as in the level that the firing takes place rather than e.g. the floor of a furnace. For a photo, see firing floors of Wilmington kilns 3 and 4 https://www.cementkilns.co.uk/ck_firing.html This diagram shows how the crust would be transported out (just as the clinker would be taken out when it was operating normally) https://www.researchgate.net/figure/The-schematic-and-contro... also referenced here https://www.cementkilns.co.uk/cooler_rotary.html Example sentence(s): The clinker fell into a rotary cooler below the firing floor. The control panels were therefore located on the firing floor https://www.cementkilns.co.uk/kiln_design.html https://www.cementkilns.co.uk/ck_firing.html
