Due to its importance in the construction industry, cement continues to play a vital role in all growing economies. It is therefore paramount that special requirements are placed on the processing reliability, the quality of the product and machinery/plant availability.

Modern measurement technology for machine maintenance
Important production line areas where PRÜFTECHNIK measurement technology is put to use include:

• Rotary kilns
• Crushers
• Ventilators
• Mills

Important production areas are monitored permanently using a multi-channel online system (VIBRONET Signalmaster). For components under heavy stress such as planetary gear reducers or bevel gears in vertical mills, additionally, use is made of frequency selective diagnostic methods (VIBROWEB XP) for early detection and localization of faults. The operating conditions of auxilliary machines are determined at regular intervals using a mobile data collector (VIBXPERT). Laser-optical measurement methods are used in the alignment of shafts (ROTALIGN Ultra) and determining the levelness of foundations (LEVALIGN Ultra).
