POLSCAN Kiln Alignment


Ayooo very hot, brain almost reach melting point until render it useless... that is what happen when you have to spend 3-4 hr straight at the rotary kiln - the world biggest & hottest manufacturing equipment; 4.4m diameter x 60m length with average surface temp 300 deg Celcius ... kiln basically a statically determined system with 3 points vertical load (Fy) support. Hence, in order to optimize load on supports, the kiln axis vertically & horizontally checked using hi-tech tachymeter - a kind of electronic theodolite very precise optical measuring tool..connected to computer for data uploading and processing. Thanks to engineering advancement made in this area by Polysius now every single result is in real-time .....and thanks to a very profesional POLSCAN team lead by Mr Ansgar...
