MEASUREMENTS OF KILN GEOEMTRICAL PARAMETERS

• Measurements of kiln axis position
• Measurements of tire migration and under-tire clearance
• Measurements of rollers’ geometry
• Measurements of tires’ and rollers’ mechanical wear of running surface
• Measurement of foundation frame slope
• Measurement of thrust roller position
• Measurements of tires and shell temperatures

Kiln shell deformation

• Measurement of kiln shell local deformation
• Preparation of polar diagrams for each crossection and 3D model
• Measurements of tires and girth gear wobbling
• Measurements of rollers’ shaft deflection (presence of mechanical crank formation).
• Measurement of kiln shell temperatures (presence of thermal crank formation).

Kiln shell ovality measurement

• Survey of heave kiln shell flexing (measuring by ovality sensor)

Drive system geometry

• Measurements of girth gear run-out and wobbling
• Measurements of pinion axis position, shafts, reducer, and enginge alignment
• Measurements of root clearance and backlash
• Preparation of adjustment program and schedule (if needed)

Kiln mechanical parameters

• Recalculating of loads on pier
• Recalculating of pressure on bearings
• Recalculating of Hertz pressures on roller- tire contact
• Recalculating of bending stress in the kiln shell
• Recalculating of stress in tires
• Verification of the kiln shell characteristics (stiff or flexible kiln)

Supervision of rollers adjustment and renovations

• Supervision of adjustment
• Thrust controll and correction of balance (if needed)
• Technical suport during necessary renovations (replacement of kiln shell, tires, rollers, drive systems)
