ALIGNMENT

Complete and comprehensive survey of the kiln under full production conditions yielding following standard data:

• Kiln axis in horizontal and vertical plane defined between the first and last pier of the kiln; kiln inclination (slope)

• Axial coordinates of each roller, in horizontal and vertical plane, measured on the shaft of each roller and calculated at adjustment screws

• Roller and tire face profiles, measured across entire face of tires/rollers, roller shaft deflections

• Tire wobble (axial runout), pier movement, pier settlement, frame inclination

• Ovality and tire clearance (gap) measurements, at each tire (uphill and downhill)

• Girth gear radial runout (eccentricity), rim face (axial) runout

• Pinion axis in horizontal and vertical plane, dual pinion survey (elevation, working angle) drive survey, gear meshing (root clearance)

• Roller adjustments to re-lign the kiln, adjustment program and step-by-step schedule, control check to verify kiln axis after completion of adjustments

• Mechanical inspection report with recommendations for repairs/improvements

Examples shown are from the actual alignment work on kilns of all type and manufacturer, beginning in 1985.
