Precision audit at 600,000 tons
A misaligned rotary kiln burns refractory, energy and money. At Cemento Andino, Polysius and RELANSA performed a comprehensive audit and POLSCAN® measurement — with the kiln turning.

01
THE CHALLENGE
Identify bottlenecks, shell deformation and kiln misalignment without stopping a 600,000 t/y plant.
02
THE SOLUTION
Comprehensive process audit to find bottlenecks and energy-saving opportunities; POLSCAN® optoelectronic measurement of alignment, eccentricity and shell deformation in operation; support roller and tire diagnosis; and supply of original spares with supervision of the installation of critical kiln components.
03
THE IMPACT
Extended refractory life, recovered energy efficiency and zero unnecessary stops. Hot alignment avoids the cost nobody budgets: a stopped kiln.
