Alignment

We have the ability, equipment, and tools that are necessary to make the proper repairs to ensure that your rotary unit is running as efficiently as it possibly can. We have done all types of construction on kilns, dryers, conditioners, and all other rotary drums. Above all, we are dedicated to giving you quality workmanship with timely completion of your project using honest work ethics. From shell section replacement to new equipment installation, we have trained employees with the experience needed for this type of work.

  • Locate the centerlines of the trunnion bases
  • Determine the elevations of all the bearing surfaces
  • Determine the slopes of the bearing surfaces

With this information, we can determine where to place each trunnion roller so the drum will be centered over the bases.

In addition, we can determine the amount of shim required at each bearing location to assure that the trunnion rollers and drum will all have the same slope.

This will result in precise rotary drum alignment, with full-face contact of the tire on the trunnion rollers and an even load distribution between the trunnion rollers.

By using the Non-Reflective Total Station Instrument, we maximize the accuracy of our measurements. The instrument measures directly to surfaces, it does not require a prism, target, or scale to be held in place. Anytime a target must be located and held by a human or stand, it introduces additional chance for error in the measurement.

Once the laser in our instrument is directed onto the desired surface, the instrument takes the measurement. It is not necessary for the operator to read a scale or make a judgment call, and record a value. The instrument measures the angle and distance, then displays the values and saves them in memory.
