    Cement Factory Maintenance Course

    A modular course exploring the maintenance of cement factories, including the different
    maintenance challenges faced by different cement factories around the world, the assessment
    of cement manufacturing equipment condition, common maintenance and reliability
    problems, their solution and the organization of the maintenance function on a cement
    factory.

    Course Content
    In module 1 the course explores the different maintenance challenges presented by cement
    factories, dependent on their scale, location, number of lines operated and vintage. Also the
    ways in which maintenance will be judged, not only from the availability of the equipment
    and the costs of maintenance, but also from the overall equipment effectiveness. Availability
    of spare parts will make a vital contribution to the effectiveness of maintenance, but what
    level of spare parts can or should be provided? Many factors which will impact on the
    effectiveness of maintenance throughout the life of the cement factory are determined when
    the factory is laid out and the equipment is designed. These factors need to be taken into
    consideration when cement factories are first established as they will never be able to be
    changed in the future.
    In module 2 of the course the inter-related issues of cement factory condition assessment,
    common problems and their resolution are explored. Cement kilns must operate for long,
    continuous campaigns to minimize their thermal energy consumption. In order to do this,
    their mechanical condition must be regularly assessed and adjusted, if necessary, to prevent
    long-term damage and the requirement for major repair involving massive loss of time and
    clinker production. A cement kiln is in fact an assemblage of inter-connected sub-systems
    which must all operate reliably. The kiln is only as reliable as the weakest of these subsystems, so the raw meal preparation, kiln feed system, fuel preparation and delivery, clinker
    cooling and transport and the exhaust gas venting and dedusting systems are all expected to
    operate for these long campaigns. There will be some overtaking capacity in some of these
    sub-systems allowing limited time for maintenance, but all will be expected to give reliable
    performance.
    In the final module of the course the theories of maintenance organization, as they relate to
    cement factories, are explored. What is the role of breakdown, preventive and condition
    based maintenance in cement factories? How do approaches such as Total Productive
    Maintenance and Reliability Centred Maintenance apply to cement factories? What changes
    on the organisation of maintenance and the skills of the maintenance personnel are required
    to implement these changes in cement factory maintenance philosophy? Computerised
    maintenance management systems make a vital contribution to these approaches to
    maintenance and are a prerequisite for the effective maintenance of a modern cement factory.
