We have spent many years traveling to plants all over the world. During
this time we have had many discussions about the different types of access
ramps we have seen. We came to the conclusion that it was time to develop
a simple lightweight ramp that would allow access for all of the current
technology being used in the maintenance of the rotary kiln.
The Problem:
Most kiln ramps were heavy steel, undersized and clumsy. These ramps
did not consider all of the latest bricking technology and equipment
that could be utilized with a modern designed kiln access ramp. Access
ramps were generally afterthoughts thrown together to solve a short
term or dimensional problem.
The Solution:
We came up with some simple criteria--the ramp must be lightweight,
portable, strong in design, worker-friendly and last a lifetime. We
designed a ramp out of aluminum that could carry the load of a lift
truck fully loaded with a pallet of brick, be wide enough for a large
tear out machine. Smart enough to be easily positioned and bolted together.
Building the ramp in components allowed us to customize each ramp to
fit into different access designs. We also came up with a simple format
to communicate with each customer's design needs--we worked directly
with the plant engineers and supplied the plant with detailed drawings
to ensure a perfect fit each and every time. The ramps have safety curbs
and railing so the workers are ensured safe crossing with materials
and equipment.
Justification:
-
Proper kiln access allows the plant to take advantage of all the
latest technology for kiln maintenance
-
Increase productivity by allowing fast efficient material and equipment
access
-
Increase safety by ensuring safe passage in and out of the kiln
