In any rotary kiln or furnace maintenance operation, transportation of
material into and out of the vessel is critical to the speed at which
the maintenance can be accomplished. Any system or device that reduces
the amount of labor needed to move material is important to reducing cost
and increasing safety. By reducing fatigue and exposure to a confined
space environment there is a reduction in lost time accidents.
The Problem:
The number one reason for slow bricking times is slow supply of brick
to the masons. Every plant has different obstacles such as: limited
access, small burn floor, small kiln diameter, or the location of the
job. Replacement of brick could be down in the cooler or way up in the
intake section of the kiln. These are only a few of the many different
examples of difficult supply demands.
The Solution:
We have spent many hours with customers and contractors going over
their needs and transportation is by far the hardest to over come. There
are many ways to move brick, on a particular job. There may be only
one good way or a combination of ways. That is why we have tried to
develop transportation systems that are designed for the specific job
at hand. We try to discuss all the transportation problems and develop
a total system that can be used for the entire kiln bricking operation.
We have designed various types of conveyors, trams, lift carts and rollers.
These devices can handle brick along with moving equipment, materials
and debris. By understanding the total operation we are able to design
for working fixtures that are easy to use and can be disassembled and
stored away when not in use. We also make the components light weight
for easy handling and assembly.
Justification:
-
Proper transportation of material will increase productivity
-
Well designed transportation will decrease the need for man handling
of material and equipment. Increase safety
-
Proper transportation will circumvent high-dollar engineering changes
to your kiln.
