Enhanced CS210 temperature monitoring system for rotary kilns
Berlin – Raytek introduces a new generation of CS210 system for non-contact temperature measurement and monitoring of rotary kiln shells. The modular system now integrates up to four infrared line scanners for monitoring long and difficult-to-access kilns. Additionally, point sensors cover shadow areas, for instance behind tyres. Designed for rotary kilns exclusively, the software compiles all data to a complete thermal image. The upgrade also enables a real-time display of a 3D thermal image of the kiln surface, making refractory monitoring especially user-friendly. Damaged and fallen bricks are quickly located, enabling users to initiate repair and avoid expensive production stops. The system provides a one-brick resolution and sends failsafe hotspot alarms. A Refractory Management database helps determine when best to replace the refractory. All oven-related and operational data, information about the refractory material, and maintenance dates can be easily managed and documented with a user history. A separate sensor monitoring the burning zone can also be integrated and managed via the software. Communication with the control room is typically realized via a fiber-optic cable and Ethernet TCP/IP. Moreover, the control level can access all system-related data via an OPC server.

Driving more ore up the Yangtze: reliable geared motors for bulk handling machinery in transshipment port
China’s Wuhan Iron and Steel Group (WISCO), one of the largest companies in the nation’s steel sector, has built a new transshipment port to better handle growing quantities of imported ore arriving in the East China Sea. The port consists of several berths and yards where 15 million tons of ore per year can be unloaded from huge ocean-going vessels. Various bulk handling machinery installed throughout the port by three different OEMs has one thing in common: in all of these super-size loaders, unloaders, and stacker-reclaimers, a total of over 170 geared motors supplied by German manufacturer NORD DRIVESYSTEMS ensure everything stays reliably in motion.

HURON
MU TECH
MU TECH by Huron is an entry-level 3-axis milling machine that has the distinctive feature of being equipped as standard with an electrospindle. Versatile and multi-application, MU TECH can also operate in 3+2 axis mode. It offers high power at low speed for rough cutting of large parts since it can be used at service class S1 starting at 3000 rpm and at service class S6 for 40% of the time at 2200 rpm. Finishing operations can subsequently be performed in 5-axis mode at high speed. MU TECH 6, the first version available, features a dia. 600 mm table.

Verlinde
Loiselet Foundry at Dreux relocates production to France in new, highly automated facilities equipped with Verlinde powered hoists.
LOISELET Foundry, whose specialty is the production of cast iron products, is situated at Dreux, 70 km west of Paris. Founded by César Loiselet in 1850, the company is still owned by the family. The fifth generation, currently represented by Sylvain Loiselet, Chairman and Managing Director of the company and Sébastien Loiselet, is still very much at the helm. It will soon be the turn of sixth generation children to integrate the company, little by little, in various capacities.

Energy efficiency: la Compagnie des Fromages counts on innovation with Emerson technologies
The subsidiary of the Bongrain Group is pursuing a policy to reduce its energy usage and CO2 emissions by investing in a facility designed by Cofely Axima, a leader in industrial refrigeration and a subsidiary of GDF Suez. This solution stands out for its use of a process that heats and cools within a single cycle and its use of key components supplied by the Emerson Group – a Vilter single-screw compressor from Emerson Climate Technologies and a Leroy-Somer variable-speed drive from Emerson Industrial Automation.
