Brüel & Kjær Vibro's field monitor installed on FLSmidth cement kilns

PublishTime：2022-09-21

●FLSmidth has recently selected the VCM-3 field monitor from Brüel & Kjær Vibro (B&K Vibro) as an OEM installation on their cement kilns.This applies to both new customers requesting comprehensive monitoring capabilities,as well as a retrofit on existing kilns.These high quality,high performance kilns can now deliver optimal uptime by utilizing a dedicated vibration condition monitoring solution.Extensive research and development was done in collaboration with the project teams,where FLSmidth provided expertise on the equipment design,operation,maintenance and failure modes,and on their existing monitoring techniques,while B&K Vibro provided their expertise on data acquisition and processing,and optimizing measurement techniques for early and reliable fault detection.
●Monitoring strategy for the kiln
■The slow rotational speed of the kiln and its sheer size make monitoring no easy task.One key reason the VCM-3 field monitor was selected for the task was because of its wide range of measurement techniques,that can be customized to the application using the Python calculation engine.The VCM-3 has been designed from scratch to monitor slow rotational machines and therefore is very relevant for monitoring the kiln.The following potential failure modes are being monitored:
▲Kiln crank
▲Shell ovality
▲Drive gear faults (girth gear)
▲Axial balance (bearing displacement measurementonly,not bearing temperatures)
■The measurement technique used for monitoring ovality is proprietary.
