Increasing kiln uptime and output is a major goal for many cement plants to increase profits. When optimizing these KPIs, plants usually identify the root causes of why the performance deviates from the targets. A common reason for performance shortcomings is problems with the kiln support roller bearings (KSRBs) that force operators to slow down production or stop the kiln operation altogether.
While inadequate lubrication can be one reason for problems with KSRBs, cleverly chosen lubrication practices can also be highly effective measures to mitigate or completely avoid certain problems.
In our new article for International Cement Review we share three best practices for effective lubrication of kiln support roller bearings that can help cement producers to increase kiln uptime and output.
