Optimise performance with online reliability services for kilns
The kiln is the heart of your plant – but are you looking after it properly? Most kilns are operated with a few isolated sensors and an inspection every 2 – 3 years. That simply doesn’t give you enough information to optimise performance and be proactive with kiln maintenance. You need 24/7 online reliability services.
With online reliability services for kilns, you have the ability to gather data and insights that were previously unavailable through third-party inspections. It’s the difference between treating the same symptoms over and over and identifying the root cause of kiln problems. A difference that can save you significant time and money.
Data plus expertise: our services are focused on coupling data with expert oversight. We don’t just install sensors and leave you to it – the experts at our 24/7 Global Remote Service Center help interpret the data and provide actionable insights so you can optimise kiln performance and be proactive with kiln maintenance.
The online reliability services for kilns come in two packages
Level I package includes bearing monitoring, hydraulic thrust device monitoring, kiln drive monitoring and CemScanner integration.
With these services you can reduce wear on rotating parts, improve component life, identify leaks, etc. You can also get to the bottom of kiln problems and react quickly to signs of hot spots and refractory failure.
With the Level II package, you get additional sensors that enable you to continuously monitor kiln crank, kiln shell ovality, kiln drive misalignment and axial balance.
With this package, most of the well-known measurements from a hot kiln alignment will be monitored all the time – enabling you to schedule the hot kiln alignment when it is most needed And providing you insights that were previously not available.
Fuller Dashboard - Monitor your plant performance, anytime and anywhere
With the ORS package, you benefit from more than just remote monitoring through the SiteConnect mobile app. You also receive dedicated Customer ORS Dashboards at your plant, providing a clear and continuous view of equipment operational performance.
Accessible on a PC monitor and strategically located within your facility the dashboards – pictured here – deliver actionable insights to the Plant Head, Unit Head, Mech. HOD, E&I HOD or CCR room according to what suits you best.
The dashboards enable you to visualize:
- The overall picture of equipment health
- An overview of several equipment lines (Kilns, VRMs, etc.) in one place
- An indication of individual KPIs according to your ORS equipment packages (eg. Level-I/Level-II)
- Detailed analysis of individual KPIs related to failure modes included in the ORS package (e.g. Kiln crank, Kiln axial balance, etc)
- Further trends & analysis for individual components of the KPIs being monitored. (eg. Kiln Bearing temperature, HTD Pressure tc.)
