Martin174; Air Cannons Optimize Material Flow Belt Cleaners
A cement facility includes a stateoftheart, sixstage precalcinerpreheater with a rated capacity of 660,000 tons of clinker per year. efficient material flow is a key component of drake's dryprocess manufacturing, and accumulation in storage bins, process vessels or feed pipes could choke even this well designed system. the facility's system required some fine tuning.
Martin Engineering Case Studies Problem Solved
A cement plant in colombia was experiencing severe spillage issues on several of its conveyors, causing belt misalignment and damage to the belt and rolling components. the situation increased maintenance costs, due to premature replacement of the belt and conveyor components, as well as the labor expense of three people for a full shift each.
The Cement Kiln
A development of this process is the 'precalciner' kiln. most new cement plant is of this type. the principle is similar to that of the dry process preheater system but with the major addition of another burner, or precalciner. with the additional heat, about 8595 of.
Industry News Afs Technology
A recent development by afs is the dual inclined belt conveyor, with has two belts: one flat belt on top for whole tyres and a 200mm diameter pipe belt down the middle of the truss frame for bulk fuels. this conveyor saves cost and space when dual fuels are desired by the customer. international patent status.
St Marys Bowmanville: Canadas Largest Producer Of Clinker
The st marys cement plant in bowmanville, ontario is the largest producer of cement clinker in canada. in operation since 1968, the plant underwent a major upgrade in the early 1990s to replace two former wet process kilns with a single dry flsmidth kiln with a preheater.
Tire Feed System Texas Afs Technology
Balcones plant – new braunfels, tx (2002) – afs provided a turnkey, fullyautomated whole tire feeding system for a 4stage preheater system included a trailer tipper, live bottom hopper, tire separator, tire separation refinement system, tire inspection and rejection system, 290 inclined trussedframed belt conveyor, support steel and platforms in preheater building.
Schmersal Conveying Plants
Belt alignment switches monitor the straight running of conveyor plants. if the conveyor belt runs offcentre on the conveyor rollers, the switchgear is activated. through the contact staggering or as of a belt misalignment of 15 for instance, a warning is generated through an auxiliary contact.
Custom Conveyor Systems B.I.D. Canada Ltd. Bid
Bid canada was approached by an engineering consulting firm to help optimize the mechanical design of the cement plants conveyor systems. as the site layout was set by the client and engineering firm, these restrictions created potential belt curve issues during conveyor startup.
