The Econ-O-Ring is a single or double arched adjustable bricking machine.
The machine has a unique adjustable scaffold system and has multiple hinged
arch sections. This allows the ECON to be adjusted to many different diameter
combinations within its range. The ECON was designed to be an economical
version of the EOR model. Our primary customers are smaller kilns and
refractory contractors. The ECON comes complete with an assembly guide
and sizing chart to assist you in determining the proper arch sections
and adjusting the scaffold to the proper bricking diameter. The ECON has
6"/ 150mm pneumatic cylinder stroke. It is manufactured out of lightweight
aluminum and can be assembled in 30 minutes once inside the kiln. The
ECON is constructed in small components and can be handled by two people.
The machine is designed to fit into limited access kilns.
The Problem:
The three main goals when installing brick in rotary kilns is quality,
safety, and speed of installation. Unfortunately, these goals can sometimes
be conflicting. In addition, there are economic considerations when
the machine sees limited use. For example, in the Lime Industry where
kilns are not shut down as often as in the Cement Industry, a lighter
duty machine is sufficient. For refractory contractors that service
many different sizes of kilns, they need a machine that will service
a wide range of kiln diameters.
The Solution:
The ECON insures quality with pneumatic cylinders assisting in the
precise placement of brick. By using the pneumatic cylinders to hold
brick in place, there is never any unsupported, unkeyed brick overhead.
Ergonomic design reduces fatigue and with it the chance of mental or
physical errors ending in an lost time accident. ECON's speed of installation
is increased by the use of the double ring option that allows the second
ring to be installed while the first ring is being keyed out. The ECON
is an adjustable, economically priced, medium duty machine designed
to service kilns from 8'-0" through 12'-0" inside brick diameter
(2.4m through 3.7m).
Justification:
ROI due to savings realized by increased kiln uptime, reduced maintenance
costs, and a reduction in lost time accidents. Typically this ROI can
be realized in one outage. The ability to adjust from 8'-0" through
12'-0" inside brick diameter (2.4m through 3.7m) eliminates the
need for a contractor or a plant with multiple kiln diameters to buy
multiple machines.
Features:
The ECON can be adjusted from 8'-0" through 12'-0" inside
brick diameter (2.4m through 3.7m). The Econ-O-Ring series of machines
is the least expensive model we offer. The ECON is recommended for smaller
diameter kilns with multiple diameters. It also offers a cost advantage
for contractors who are working in many different kilns in the smaller
diameter range.
