Industry Application
Castings for Cement and Lime Plants
We provide heat resistant spare parts and solutions and other spare parts for cement plants.
Industry Pain Points
Where It Hurts
These are the failures behind most enquiries we receive from this sector.
- Cooler plates cracking from thermal fatigue long before they wear out
- Alloy content cut below specification so heat resistant parts fail early
- Air slots closing up and reducing cooling efficiency
- Crusher and mill wear parts driving up the maintenance budget
- Unplanned stops because replacement castings were not in stock before the shutdown
Customer Requirements
What Buyers Actually Need
- Heat resistant grades verified by spectrometer, not just claimed on a datasheet
- Parts that fit the existing cooler or kiln without modification
- Delivery planned around a known shutdown date
- A single supplier for both the hot side and the wear side of the plant
- Honest advice on when a higher alloy grade pays back and when it does not
Recommended Products
Parts We Supply Into This Sector
Application Scenarios
Typical Application Scenarios
Clinker cooler
Grate plates, side plates and support castings in heat resistant grades matched to the temperature at each row.
Rotary kiln
Nose ring segments, lifters and other kiln spare parts exposed to heat and abrasion together.
Raw material crushing
Hammers, blow bars and jaw plates on limestone feed, where abrasion is high and impact is moderate.
Grinding and mill circuits
Vertical mill wear elements and liner plates in high chrome iron.
Solution Workflow
How a Project Runs
STEP 01
Failure review
We look at the failed part, the machine and the duty before quoting. Often the fix is geometry or seating, not a more expensive alloy.
STEP 02
Material and process proposal
Grade, moulding route, tolerance class and machining allowance, confirmed in writing.
STEP 03
Tooling and first article
Tooling made and the first article measured and tested before the batch runs.
STEP 04
Batch production
Stage inspection during production rather than only at the end.
STEP 05
Documented delivery
Test reports, marking and export packing prepared for your port.
Delivery Capability
