The upgrade process

Since every project is unique, we
thoroughly study your existing equipment and operational process to
ensure the best solution. Typical steps
to the upgrade process encompass the
following:
- Install new grate/cross-bar units
with supporting structure below.
- Install a new Air-Blast Controlled
(ABC) fixed inlet.
- Install the required hydraulic drive
system and piping.
- Replace or upgrade the existing
cooling air fans, as necessary.
- Upgrade or install new PLC program
and supplementary electrical parts
and instrumentation.
The upper cooling casing (housing)
may or may not be reused, depending
on the existing coolers size and condition. The existing kiln firing hood and
clinker crusher will also be evaluated.
Cost-effective installation
Cooler upgrades can typically be
accomplished with a one- to two-week
extension of your yearly maintenance
outage. While the ROI calculation
differs for every plant, increased
production typically easily justifies the
shutdown. Request a customised ROI
calculation for details.
