Maintenance

Whether it’s lower grinding efficiency, higher energy costs or increased risk of equipment damage, excessive wear of your vertical roller mill (VRM) means trouble. But with our in-situ hard facing services, you can keep that trouble at bay with optimum wear protection for optimum mill performance.

With social, environmental and economic drivers putting pressure on cement manufacturers to do more with less, performance optimisation is more important than ever. But it’s not enough to just buy the best equipment and run it well – wear and tear is inevitable, and the most efficient operations will be prepared for every eventuality. That’s why we’re encouraging our customers to adopt a more strategic maintenance approach through our Reliability Centered Maintenance services.

Unplanned kiln downtime is costly and damaging – so let’s eliminate it. Our hot kiln alignment service is a vital part of your preventive maintenance strategy, helping you avoid unscheduled stops. Using advanced tools and analysis, we identify the root causes of kiln problems, enabling you to act before they escalate.

The ECS/CemScanner is a valuable tool in your preventive maintenance arsenal – so long as you look after it. A simple programme of small maintenance tasks will ensure your CemScanner continues to deliver the accurate kiln shell temperature measurements you rely on.

The SiloSafe Cement service addresses issues such as impeded cement quality development, lump formation, and coating on silo walls, which are all related to cement prehydration in the grinding process and in cement storage silos.

A successful maintenance programme gives you high levels of availability and reliability. There are no unscheduled stops. No runaway costs. All repairs are made in a timely, stress-free and budget-friendly manner. Sounds good, right? Let’s make this a reality at your plant with our Maintenance Service Agreements.
