Kiln services

For optimum kiln performance and an effective predictive maintenance strategy, you need online condition monitoring services. We couple specialist sensors with expert oversight, continuously gathering and analysing data to give you insights that you can put into action. For reliable, efficient kiln performance and minimal downtime.

The roller alignment service corrects and minimises the axial thrust (skew) of support rollers, which optimises the axial float of the kiln. This service: Reduces bearing temperatures Reduces wear on tyre and roller contact surfaces Reduces wear on thrust roller components

The need for reconditioning develops from various types of wear and tear. Tyres and rollers naturally form irregular surface profiles from roller skew, in addition to pitting, spalling, irregular markings and rolled-over edges. Left unaddressed, these conditions can lead to increased power consumption, alignment problems and reduced bearing life. Our reconditioning service corrects problems such as concave/convex wear, rolled-over edges, facets, taper wear and irregular face profiles. And you won’t experience costly downtime or interrupted plant operation; we resurface the worn faces of support rollers and tyres in-situ, while the kiln is in normal production.

Improve mechanical stability Reduce energy consumption (by up to 40%) Lower operating costs Eliminate vibrations Maximise bearing life Avoid damage to tyre retaining components, bases and drive components

To extend the life of your ROTAX-2® kiln , you need a clear picture of the tangential suspension system, and you must check the frequency drive settings. This reduces the risk of vibration and facet creation on kiln tyres and supporting rollers. All parts of the ROTAX-2® rotary kiln are visible, which simplifies both inspection and maintenance. For the ROTAX-2® kiln, we provide all the necessary services to help you: Avoid or correct kiln ovality – we make sure that the kiln shell’s radius of curvature does not change unacceptably during the kiln’s rotation. Ensure that the kiln crank is aligned – we check for red spots on the kiln shell and misaligned kiln shell sections. Maintain the correct axial kiln balance – we measure trust face temperatures to make sure the axial forces are not too large.
