In this case , one of our customers has asked us to make a deformed shell inspection . The aim is to determine the length to cut before the replacement of several kiln sections .

The studies include :

  • Installation of an appendix on the shell
  • Installation of a rotation detection sensor
  • Laser acquisition of the shell profile: 1 section every meter along the entire length of the kiln. (excluding clogged zones) – 12 to 16 points per section
  • Processing and providing a report for each section 
  • Delivery of a global report (3D curve graphically synthesizing all the sections)

Manpower:

  • 1 engineer
  • 1 mechanical technician

In addition to deformed shell work we carry out the following various inspections:

  • Tyre slippage document
  • Tyres run out document
  • Visual inspection of mechanical parts
