CEMENT KILN MAINTENANCE COURSE

An emphasis on the understanding of the kiln maintenance technology: – Kiln alignment, measurement, and consequences, kill shell temperature – optimization of kiln run factor– evaluation of kiln behavior based on kiln operation and process diagnostic – refractory and management practices – Impact of the burnability and kiln reliability – Evaluate, analyze and develop kiln maintenance activities based on failure mode equipment analysis.

 

Objectives

Recognize the importance of the life-cycle and kiln reliability and establish the right maintenance program represents a key element to achieve an optimal kiln run factor and performance. This course aims to impart knowledge of maintenance procedures and maintenance instruction and predictive maintenance and condition monitoring techniques. The training will include case studies with your plant data to improve skills and knowledge through group works, technical measurements, and individual evaluation and conclusions based on the kiln run-through inspection.

Hands-On Practice

A unique combination of theoretical and practical skills throughout this course will be learned, encouraging you to develop and execute the concepts and technical knowledge acquired in the daily maintenance activities.

Course Contents

Kiln maintenance – theory concepts and effective kiln maintenance – Rotary kiln shell – inspection, symptoms, and RCA – Kiln inlet and outlet seal – Kiln shell ovality – evaluation, inspection, preventive and predictive maintenance for kiln tire – supporting roller station – Roller adjustment calculation – kiln exercises and technical measurements are covering: – Measurements, concrete data for the possible presence of Kiln crank – real data of the Axial Balance – concrete data for Kiln Shell Ovality – concrete data for Kiln Axis – Group work, collecting and using your actual plant data to analyze and evaluate the kiln condition – Elaboration and development of kiln maintenance activities based on FMEA (failure mode equipment analysis.

Method

The course consists of theoretical classroom training, exercises, case study, work section, and calculations combined with the development of maintenance inspection.

Benefits

  • Apply appropriate problem-solving skills and tools to solve specific kiln maintenance problems.
