Process-technological inspection
– Get the best from your process optimisation

As a globally active constructor of plants and machines, we have decades of experience in

the construction of cement works. With our unique knowledge, we can help you to
optimise the processes in your plant, or to adapt them to the current state of the art.
Productivity, energy efficiency, plant availability and emission reduction are the focus of
our process-technological inspections.

Our process-technological examinations form the basis of de-

termining the efficiency of overall processes or subprocesses.
For this purpose, we inspect the entire process sequence with
all the key machines and units of your cement plant. Here,
the focal point is the evaluation of current process data and
operation logs. Depending on the scope of the inspection, we
determine the following characteristic process data: tempera-
ture, emissions, volume flow, material and gas composition,
pressure and mass flow.
Advantages of process-technological
inspections:
 Checking of the operating parameters and
mode of plant operation
 Detailed knowledge of the process-technological
condition of the plant
 Process-technological training of personnel

On request, we can also carry out local industrial measure-  Assistance in the implementation of immediate action
ments, as well as material tests in our Research and Develop-
ment Centre.

Our process-technological consultation pro-vides you with

detailed knowledge regarding the operation of your plant. On
the basis of a visual plant inspection and evaluation of the
available data material, we discuss with you possible impro-
vements and jointly work out specific solutions.

In the case of process-technological problems, we can quickly

assist you with our troubleshooting. We localise weak points
in a targeted manner and propose solutions directly on site.

Non-destructive material testing
– our check-up for preventive maintenance and quality control.

Our experts use non-destructive material testing (NDT) methods to test the current ma-
terial properties of plant components that are particularly exposed to stress. This is done
without damaging the components concerned. Our processes can be used for preventive
maintenance purposes in the entire production line.

With non-destructive testing, we examine the material struc-

PlantScan 3D
– A modern tool for plant designing and wear analysis.

PlantScan 3D opens up completely new possibilities for you: existing buildings and pro-
cess systems are recorded three-dimensionally by means of a laser scanner. This means
that space coordinates accurate to the millimetre are available for new building work and
conversions, allowing two-dimensional plans and three-dimensional models to be created.
PlantScan 3D is also used for wear analysis of crushers and high-pressure grinding rolls.
With this application, maintenance work can be planned better, and service lives can be
optimised.

PlantScan 3D plant design:

Three-dimensional recording of the plant situation by means
of laser scanning considerably simplifies and reduces
planning work. For the designing of plants, the data recorded
can be used to create 3D models, and interfering edges can
be detected sooner.
Time-consuming and personnel-intensive re-measurements
are not necessary. Conversion parts can be accurately
planned, manufactured and installed without major
adaptation work. The risk of unplanned stoppage times is
minimised. The contactless measurement method does not
affect ongoing production and can record even inaccessible
areas.
Advantages of PlantScan 3D:
 Contactless measurement
 Precise documentation of the actual situation in
the shortest time
 For the designing of plants, 3D models can be created
using the data recorded, and can also be combined
with this data
 The data recorded allow tailor-made planning and
therefore a reduction in stoppage times and costs
 Wear measurement by means of laser scanning helps
to optimise service lives

PlantScan3D wear measurement:

PlantScan 3D assists in analysing the wear of the roll bodies

of high-pressure grinding rolls and the crushing elements of
gyratory crushers, thanks to its complete and rapid recording
of these components by means of laser scanning. The scan
data are processed and displayed, in order to allow analysis
of wear. As a result, maintenance work and service lives can
be calculated more accurately.
PlantScan 3D produces a realistic representation of the
required areas, and is therefore an essential tool in today's
industry.

Centrifugal oil purifier
– the mobile answer for improved oil quality.

In a modern, shell-supported ball mill, the sliding shoes, gear unit and girth gears are

One of the elementary but also most difficult measuring tasks in a cement kiln plant is
the continuous analysis of the process gas. The high temperature of the process gas,
incrustation-forming alkaline dusts and corrosive gases are a real challenge for material
and technology. XTRAPOL is an innovative gas analysis system through which you can
benefit in this demanding environment of maximum precision and availability.

XTRAPOL comprises two components – a gas sampling Advantages of XTRAPOL

DIAPOL® intermediate/discharge diaphragm
- Tuning for your grinding plant.

With DIAPOL®, we have once again significantly improved the lifting diaphragm. For the
first time, the air stream and the material are separated from each other effectively. In the
case of the DIAPOL®, the material falls directly behind the diaphragm, so that the entire
mill volume is utilised during grinding. Since the individual segments are not rigidly con-
nected to each other, but can slide against each other, there is no additional mechanical
loading at the mill shell.

KTS – kiln temperature measuring system
and combustion chamber camera
– state-of-the-art measuring system for a comprehensive picture
of kiln & cooler.

Monitor your process visually or thermographically, or even both at the same time, using the KTS
measuring system. The kiln scanner records the temperature of your kiln shell continuously and
in a non-contact manner, even at places that are difficult to access. The combustion chamber
camera gives a complete view of the thermal process both in the kiln and in the clinker cooler

The measurement data are thermographically visualised, either as
two-dimensional or three-dimensional diagrams. In addition, the
maximum, minimum and average temperature profiles across the
longitudinal kiln axis and for selected sections of the kiln periphery
are shown. Critical or abnormal areas can be monitored selectively
via freely definable monitoring zones, and measures can be initiated
automatically. An integrable camera provides additional information
on the condition of the kiln and the measuring system.
Depending on the task to be fulfilled, you can choose video cameras
or thermographic cameras. Application-specific selection of the
spectral sensitivities in the wavelength range from 320 nm (UV) to
14000 nm (LWIR) achieves the optimal quality of the image and
measurement data. Combinations of up to three spectrally different
cameras are possible. Here too, you can observe critical or abnormal
areas via freely definable monitoring zones and can automatically
initiate measures.

All measurement data are stored on a cyclic basis in a database.
This means that all information regarding the state of your rotary kiln
shell is available to you at any time and from any location within your
network.
The measuring system can be installed as an independent
standalone solution or can be integrated into your network. For
integration into existing master control systems, an OPC server is
available.
A database for easily administration of your refractory lining
including wear calculation is integrated even in the basic version.
Advantages of the kiln shell temperature scanner:
 Continuous temperature monitoring of the rotary
kiln shell
 Detection of "hotspots" and refractory lining damage
 Detection of possible coating rings
 Continuous storage of thermographic images and

 Upgradable at any time, thanks to modular design

Advanced refractory lining management and modules for the
comprehensive analysis of heat losses are optionally available. A
tyre slip measuring system can be installed for a rotary kiln with
loose tyres.
The kiln combustion chamber camera offers you a view of the
inside of the rotary kiln. So, you always have your burner under
control and can assess the flame shape, the clinkering zone and

Hydraulic axial thrust system
– always in the right direction.

The hydraulic axial thrust system is a system which ensures continuous movement of the
kiln. The installation of our system results in a forced uphill and downhill movement of
± 15 mm. This prevents uneven wear of the contact surfaces of tyres and supporting
rollers. To reduce wear, the contact surface of the thrust roller is lubricated by means of a
graphite block lubricator. This system is in use at more than 200 rotary kilns worldwide.

The hydraulic axial thrust system is arranged downhill relative

 Reduced need for spare parts

counter the downhill force. As the system ensures uniform

edge contact is prevented.

We supply both the unit and the related components.

Assembly, installation and inspection are carried out by our
experts. Up to two systems are installed, depending on the
kiln size. Our range also includes the alignment of the thruster
relative to the centre line of the rotary kiln, as well as the
adjustment of the supporting rollers for compensating the
downhill force.

The loose tyre fastening system
– for smooth running.

Today, our loose tyre fastening system is renowned worldwide as the benchmark for
quality. It makes a decisive contribution towards ThyssenKrupp kiln systems reaching
their full potential when it comes to plant safety and availability. However, plants of other
manufacturers can also be converted to our system. Our Service Department has already
equipped numerous kilns of our competitors with our loose tyre fastening system.

The loose tyre fastening system compensates differences in

diameter between the kiln shell and the tyre, said differences
in diameter arising due to temperature differences caused by
operating conditions. Here, TKIS selects the design clearance
such that the ovality of the kiln shell reaches minimum values
under normal conditions. This is an essential prerequisite for
a long service life of the refractory lining.
Even after a long period of operation, the clearance between
tyre and tyre pads can be optimally set by means of
compensation plates. The alternate arrangement of the axial
stops makes the replacement of compensation plates and
tyre pads particularly simple.
Advantages of the loose tyre fastening system:
 Adjustable ovality thanks to tyre pads
 Radial tyre clearance easily adjustable
 Compensation plates and tyre pads
easily replaceable
 Optimised weld seam geometry on the
kiln shell
 High plant availability and safety
 Cost-effective tyre fastening system

The welding stresses of the retaining elements on the kiln

shell are kept as low as possible. Thus, the risk of cracking at
the axial and radial stops is minimised. The circumferential
stops transmit axial loads into the axial stops and efficiently
protect the tyre from wear.

Coarse feed valves for raw material,

– effective protection against false air.

Our coarse feed valves form the airlocks upstream of the mill and thus minimise the effect
of false air in the negative-pressure grinding process, even though the coarse-grained
material is continuously fed and passed onwards. However, the material has to be sup-
