Are you looking after your kiln shell monitoring system?
Maintaining high accuracy – CemScanner
When was the last time you checked on your CemScanner? This crucial instrument is notoriously reliable – but it’s not indestructible. A build-up of dirt could blind the scanner head. A knock could push it out of alignment. Would you know if the temperature measurements were a few degrees out? All instruments require recalibration and a good cleaning to make sure they can perform as they were intended. The CemScanner is no different, which is why we’ve put together a simple maintenance package to take care of your CemScanner. As part of your annual maintenance routing, schedule a visit from FLSmidth to perform a thorough ‘once-over’ to ensure that the measurements you’re getting reflect the reality in your process.
