Kiln Bearings: Detect potential failure and protect your equipment

Rotary Kilns and their components, such as kiln bearings, are difficult to monitor, yet extremely expensive to replace (and unplanned outages generate incredibly high costs). Thus, it is best to not take the equipment for granted. With good monitoring systems the effort eventually pays off when you are able to detect potential failure early.

To achieve an ideal monitoring of kiln bearings we recommend using the Kiln Bearing Scan, a system that provides thorough temperature feedback, optimized for this location. By distributing a minimum of 2 pyrometers (ideally 6-8) between both sides of the bearings you will be able to get thorough information that includes:

  • Visual Alerts and digital PLC outputs when temperature limits are exceeded
  • Current temperature from each pyrometer
  • Detailed overview for each individual bearing
  • Temperature trends
