Kiln geometry, measured hot
The steel mill needs lime, and lime needs perfectly aligned kilns. Polysius designed, built and commissioned the complete plant in 1990, with RELANSA on local execution. In 2006–2007, RELANSA and Polysius audited Line B with POLSCAN®: optoelectronic measurement of kiln geometry, in operation.

01
THE CHALLENGE
Diagnose alignment, leveling and roller/tire condition of Line B's rotary kiln (900 t/d) without sacrificing production.
02
THE SOLUTION
Polysius POLSCAN® service executed with RELANSA as local contractor: comprehensive kiln line audit (Kiln Line B) identifying bottlenecks, three-dimensional alignment measurement, topographic verification of leveling and settlement, and dynamic diagnosis of support rollers and tires, performed hot.
03
THE IMPACT
Mechanical availability maximized and unplanned stops prevented at a plant designed for about 315,000 t/y of calcined lime and dolomite.
// ORIGIN: 1990, A COMPLETE LIME PLANT
Design, manufacture, supply and commissioning by thyssenkrupp Polysius of a complete calcined lime plant, with 1,800 t/d across lines A and B and RELANSA on local execution. It is the earliest dated reference linking RELANSA with Polysius in Venezuela.
