Case study of drone utilization for internal inspection of cement cyclones | Scaffolding cost reduction

Introduction of drone inspection for the cyclone inside the new suspension preheater! [Tokuyama Corporation]

Tokuyama Corporation, founded in 1918 as a domestic manufacturer of soda ash, is a comprehensive chemical company that produces cement and various chemical products. At the Tokuyama Plant, which manufactures cement, there are three rotary kilns that operate continuously 24 hours a day, where limestone, the raw material for cement, is calcined to produce clinker. In such continuous operation cement plants, each kiln line is stopped once a year to conduct inspections and maintenance of the equipment. The company is experimentally using 'IBIS' for this inspection work. [Case Summary] ■Challenges - Cost of special scaffolding installed on multiple cyclones ■Benefits of Implementation - Ability to visualize on-site conditions and share information about equipment status among all personnel - Transitioning equipment management from TBM (Time-Based Maintenance) to CBM (Condition-Based Maintenance) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
