Cement plants take a harsh toll on equipment such as valves and actuators. Abrasive material is involved from the beginning to the end. Materials handled are often dusty and cause severe abrasive wear of equipment. The movement, blending, storage, and transport of limestone, shale, iron ore, and clay wreaks havoc on the life expectancy of process equipment.
Kinetrol’s rotary vane actuators are known for their reliability and ruggedness, and are used in many processes across a cement plant, including vehicle unloading, silo discharge, air cooling dampers, distribution, bagging and emissions control.
