The easiest way to extend the lifetime and increase the efficiency of each machine is to know its current condition. Using the newest technologies and accurate measuring equipment we measure kiln axis, rollers skewing, shell deformations and many other parameters which are needed to prepare the detailed report (our sample report). Next step of our service is a presentation of all the results and findings, followed by proposed solutions and recommendations for the future maintenance. When it is necessary and demanded by the client, we carry out on-site adjustment.
