process the data and evaluate the results. Therefore it is an accepted practice in the cement industry worldwide to call on an outside pany to carry out these prehensive kiln inspections at regular intervals. is the world39。s largest supplier of rotary kilns, spare parts and services to the cement industry. With more that 120 years of experience as kiln designers, possesses a huge technical knowhow on rotary kilns and employs a group of highly experienced field engineers, who work daily as kiln specialists at cement plants all over the world backed up by the entire anisation. The Hot Kiln Alignment method was introduced into the cement industry in 1981 allowing a full inspection of the kiln to be performed during normal operation. Since then, has continuously updated and improved the method, measuring instruments and puter software to provide our clients with the best possible tools to evaluate the consequences of the kiln’s present operating condition in respect of the availability. The concept The inspection concept innovated by focuses on the following four elements: ? Kiln axis ? Kiln shell ovality ? Axial balance ? Kiln crank The root causes of the vast majority of the failures of kiln installations originate from one or more of these elements, thus posing a serious threat to the availability of the kiln. In addition, the concept includes a thorough inspection of the drive station, kiln shell profile analysis, and a general inspection of the mechanical condition of the other key kiln ponents. Very often the load condition of a kiln changes over the years due to . Increased capacity, change of fuel and/or changes of refractory lining quality. To pensate for such changes, remends that the kiln be recalculated based on the present load conditions and that the optimum kiln axis be determined taking the load distribution between the individual supports and the stress levels in kiln shell,tyres and rollers, as well as the bearing loads into consideration. inspection types markets the following three standard inspections covering all types of rotary kilns: ? Comprehensive kiln inspection ? Twosupport
