Vibration monitoring for cement manufacturing machines

Keeping process and pollution control machines in top operating condition is a key objective of maintenance and reliability engineers in cement manufacturing. Early identification of mechanical problems keeps machines running and maximizes production. Vibration analysis is a vital part of machinery health monitoring within any effective condition based maintenance program.

Vibration sensors monitor the condition of cement plant equipment used for grinding, crushing, material transport systems, ball and roller mills, and material separators. Typical condition monitoring applications include:

• Air compressors
• Belt drives
• Fans and blowers
• Kiln rollers
• Motor bearings
• Vertical and horizontal mills
