Spare parts Our spare parts are characterised by the perfect fit. They always match specifications, both geometrically and metallurgically. This is your guarantee of rapid installation and long service life.
Base Stock Before a new production line or plant is commissioned, we supply wear parts and consumable for the initial period of operation as well as any strategic stock of electrical and mechanical parts that you may require.
Training Your training requirement determines our supply of training programme. We offer a range of customised courses, standard courses and training packages in which your own staff are responsible for the actual tuition. Operations and
Production Strategy Planning Our specialists will aim at maximising the lifetime of your plant by computing the most advantageous clinker quality parameters, that can be produced with the existing plant equipment and by computing the corresponding modifications to your existing mine design. Supervision Experienced specialists Supervise the installation of critical equipment ensuring correct erection and efficient operation
maintenance Inspections and analyses of the various plant departments assist in revealing areas that require improvement Technical assistance
We offer technical consultancy - or production and maintenance management services, to improve the run factor and the profitability of your plant. Blending System
Simulation Our specialists establish an integrated model of your mining & raw blending operation. A mining sequence is simulated to minimise the capacity requirements of the mining and blending equipment and ensure that any bottle-necks are eliminated. Possibilities for further minimisation of capacity requirements through modification of the blending logistic will be specified.
Before starting up the plant, spare parts stocks must be adequate to ensure uninterrupted production.
A well-organised stock of spares is your safeguard against sudden failures and prevents major production losses if a breakdown should occur. The initial operation of a new production line or plant requires a special stock of spares. Our specialists know what is needed and draw up a complete list of parts to be included as a separate item in the overall contract. We distinguish between three categories of spare parts: 1. Wear parts and consumables, typically components that are in actual contact with raw materials and transmission parts. 2. Strategic replacement parts that are critical for production and have long lead times, for example kiln supporting rollers. 3. General replacement parts that are not necessarily critical for production. They have short lead times or can be repaired temporarily until a new part is delivered. These are general items such as seals, rubber rings, valves, pressure gauges, etc. If one of the parts at your plant needs replacing it is easy to find it in
the spare parts catalogues that accompany each supply of new equipment. The catalogues contain all parts likely to be replaced during the service life of the machine.
The production of clinker, both in tonnage and in energy consumption, depends on the properties of the raw blend input to the plant.
Detailed planning of the raw blend production can boost the financial results of your plant. It therefore pays to focus on the mine even if mining operations only account for 4-10 percent of your total running costs. The mine Changes in the procedure of mining are usually necessary in cases where kiln operations are causing problems change-over to a different type of cement production is being considered combustibles are being replaced with more economical fuel modernisation is taking place to attain more rational operations. Although this is generally accepted it remains a fact that production problems are often caused by inappropriate methods of mining. So we always advise a systematic analysis of mining operations. Not only for the reasons outlined above, but also because a mine that has been in use for many years may no longer be in optimum operating condition, although this is not immediately obvious. It is often advantageous to have someone look at your mining operation with fresh eyes. Our specialists expertise in cement production enables us to effectively determine whether the mining procedure can be successfully revised to save running costs and extend the life of the plant. Logistics If mine operations are modified, the mobile equipment requirement changes too. Choice of mobile equipment is often based on a favourable offer from a machine supplier. Subsequent changes in the equipment requirement are not always taken into account. The end result may be excessive expenditure in new machinery, not to mention unnecessary running costs.
Essential criteria when choosing mobile equipment are equipment capacity, fuel consumption, geological profile of the mine, base course conditions (to estimate the running costs, for example, tyre wear), distance to pre-crusher and distance from pre-crusher to blending store must be included. Whenever the mining procedure is changed or crushers are relocated, and before purchasing new mobile equipment, the implications and consequences of such changes should be deliberated. As an impartial advisor we are able to recommend the most cost-effective selection of equipment for your mine operation. Our philosophy is that you should have the most profitable production plant available. PRO-Service Our complete mine optimisation programme is called PRO-Service and consists of 5 elements: 1. Standard prospecting programme. 2. Evaluation of drill hole requirements. 3. Overall mine design. 4. Optimised production strategy. 5. Production system simulation.
PC-BLEND The strategy for exploitation of the mine is based on analysis of drill hole samples. Once the mining starts the actual contents of the deposit may prove to differ from its anticipated composition. It is therefore necessary to monitor and optimise the mining and production planning on a daily basis. This is where PC-BLEND has proved particularly effective. It is a computer-based program that calculates the sequence and rate of exploiting the different sections of the mine.

A mine evaluation and optimisation by FLS specialists can result in a net profit that far outweighs the initial expense. An overall mine evaluation and optimisation consists of a mine site inspection and a report giving a general evaluation of the mine and the raw materials. The report will also pin-point issues of special concern that have been noted during the mine inspection. During the visit the specialist will assist with the definition of raw material production targets, with a study of the geological settings of the mine, with the mapping of the present mine layout and with the organisation of mine operations. This will include spare parts handling in connection with mobile and stationary equipment and with the following operational practices: Drilling Blasting Loading and Transport Crushing Stacking
Invisible factors that have a negative effect on your production plant may be eliminated by a team of FLS specialists acting as consultants or managers. If the run factor of your plant is inadequate or if production stoppages are frequent, we offer to inspect the processes and the mechanical condition of your plant. Based on such analyses we recommend various options for overcoming the difficulties. If these recommendations are insufficient, we offer to enhance the production and maintenance capability of your plant with a team of FLS specialists. They will remain at the plant until the necessary procedures for optimum production are well established. Depending on the current situation, we offer two types of assistance: Technical assistance provided by advisors. Managerial assistance in which case we undertake operational responsibility and make sure that the necessary procedures are implemented. In both cases we establish the necessary working procedures jointly with the plant staff, ensuring that the plant continues to operate at an optimum level after our assignment has ended.
Expert supervision of even minor or short-term installation jobs may prove worthwhile in the long run. Many installation jobs are so specialised that it hardly pays for the individual cement plant to train its own personnel to handle them. Our specialists are constantly carrying out such jobs in all parts of the world, whether related to mechanical or electrical installation, or to the commissioning of control equipment. Their wealth of experience is at your disposal. FLS specialists advise the cement plant staff during the installation process, ensuring that the machinery is safely erected and fitted correctly. Their services are also your guarantee against serious losses resulting from faulty installation. Depending on the type of assignment (installation of a new machine or part of a machine) our technical advisors will be present at your plant from a couple of days to several months.

It is important to find the cause of a problem. Otherwise, it will return, often, twice as large.
Installing new machines and recruiting new staff often creates a need for qualifications that can be acquired by training programmes.
The data recorded is used for the all-important stress analyses that help to determine the ideal kiln axis. The assessment of the mechanical condition of ball mills includes nondestructive examination (see also table below). The condition of gear units is ascertained by visual inspection and vibration analyses. Historical data is necessary to form a trend survey that will reveal wear tendencies. Large vibration variations are not necessarily an indication of defects. 2. Process evaluation and optimisation Process evaluation and optimisation investigations analyse: Raw materials processing. Kiln operation. Mill operation. Quality control. Both types of investigation are followed up by a provisional report describing the immediate action to be taken. Our specialists final report will contain an overall analysis of the present condition of the plant and will give detailed recommendations for the necessary remedial action.
The purpose of mechanical inspections is to avoid: 1. Machinery breakdown. 2. Unplarmed stoppages. 3. Excessive wear. 4. Uncontrolled maintenance costs
Process evaluation and optimization are necessary if you experience : 1. Falling output. 2. Unsatisfactory quality. 3. High production costs. 4. High maintenance costs.
Training at all levels within the cement plant enables the individuals to make the correct operational decisions within their scope of responsibility. Better understanding of the production, of the actual processes, of preventive maintenance and of the function of the machines, enables the staff to take rapid action if throughput falls, production costs increase or quality begins to decline. The end result is lower maintenance costs, higher run factor, higher output and a more dedicated workforce, all contributing to optimised plant operations. A well-trained staff reduces the need for specialist troubleshooting, which also lowers overheads.
Another use of training is in the circumstances when new technology is being introduced at the plant. New machines are constantly being developed and existing ones are being modified, all of which creates a need for knowing how to implement new technology. To meet these requirements, we offer a complete range of educational services: FLS Standard Courses. FLS Customised Training. FLS Training Packages. FLS Seminars.
