Dimensional Control Engineering for Cement and Fertilizers
Laser monitoring for rotary kilns, mills, and silos. Maximize the service life of refractories and eliminate unplanned downtime.
The Challenge Facing the Basic Industries
Cement and fertilizer plants operate under extreme conditions: high abrasiveness, enormous loads, and extreme temperatures. In this scenario, halting production costs millions.
Minor misalignments invisible to the naked eye cause:
- Premature failure of crowns, pinions, and refractory bricks.
- Cracks and severe vibrations.
- A cascade effect on high-cost components.
Critical Solutions and Applications
Mills and Crushers
Crown and Pinion Perfect alignment to prevent tooth breakage and vibrations.
Bearings and Hubs
Flatness and roundness control for uniform load distribution.
Rotary Ovens and Dryers
Hot Measurement
3D mapping during full operation (without cooling) to inspect the shell and check for refractory wear.
Support Alignment
Millimeter-precise adjustment of rollers and rings (tires) to prevent axial oscillations and cracks.
Infrastructure and Logistics
Silos and Hoppers
3D scanning for precise volume calculation and structural analysis — 100% safe, without entering confined spaces.
Digital Twins (As-Built)
3D models of the entire facility for planning renovations (revamps) with zero-error precision.
Transportation
Shaft Alignment on Conveyor Belts, Overhead Cranes, and Bucket Elevators.
THE TECNIMEX ADVANTAGE: FOCUS ON THE ROOT CAUSE
Measuring massive moving equipment is not something just any technology can handle. By combining data from a laser scanner and a laser tracker, we don't just take a "picture" of the machine—we provide a dynamic mechanical diagnosis.
Proactive Maintenance
Stop replacing parts just because of the symptoms. Fix the root cause of the problem (alignment and toe).
Maximum Uptime
Actual extension of your plant's uninterrupted operating time.
Security
Remote inspections.
