Alignment of rotating equipment is a critical task.

Rotating equipment working misaligned can shorten the useful life of components (Rings, Rollers, Girth Gear, Pinion), in addition to increasing fuel and energy consumption. Therefore, it is essential that this work be done with adequate planning.

Hot inspection prevents equipment downtime.

Hot inspection is a fundamental diagnostic job for scheduling maintenance on rotating equipment. Premature wear of components or falling refractories can be directly linked to misaligned equipment.

Whether it’s a Lime Kiln, Clinker Kiln, Cooler, Dryer, Mill, Log Debarker – or other equipment, a technical evaluation evaluates parameters with the equipment stopped and in operation.

Using specific devices, some parameters can be measured, such as:

– Contact between rings and rollers
– Contact between crown and pinion
– Flexion of the ferrule
– Radial and axial alignment

Short, medium and long term planning.

After the field work, the parameters are analyzed and a report is prepared. In a meeting, short, medium and long term actions are determined.

Main segments served: cement, cellulose, niobium, titanium, zinc, iron ore, coke.
