/ Technical audit
We identify the cause of deviation from the process mode
The technical audit of a drying system covers the process mode, the mechanical condition of the drum and gas path, heat generating equipment and automation.

- t/h
- Initial moisture
- %
- Final moisture
- %
- Material temperature
- °C
- Inlet heat carrier temperature
- °C
- Outlet temperature
- °C
- Drum vacuum
- Pa
- Drum rotation speed
- rpm

/ Repair
Partial repair and overhaul
Partial repair
When the drum, drive and heat generating equipment retain their main service life and full reconstruction is not economically required.
- tyre replacement
- roller support restoration
- girth gear repair
- seal replacement
- drum shell repair
- lining and flight restoration
- heat generator repair
- gas duct repair
- drive repair
- feed and discharge system repair
- electrical system restoration
- instrumentation repair
Overhaul
An overhaul involves in-depth fault detection with restoration or replacement of worn main units.
- 01
Disassembly and fault detection
Determining the actual condition of parts and units.
- 02
Restoration
Machining, repair or manufacture of parts.
- 03
Replacement
Installation of new components where restoration is technically or economically unjustified.
- 04
Assembly and adjustment
Restoring geometry, adjusting mechanisms and drives.
- 05
Testing
Testing of equipment systems.
- 06
Commissioning
Installation supervision and commissioning, depending on the scope of work.
/ Upgrade
Improving the efficiency of existing equipment
If the mechanical base of the drum and heat generating equipment still has service life left, an upgrade may be more rational than full replacement of the system.
Drum and internal flights
Changing flight geometry to improve heat transfer within the equipment's design limits.
Heat generating equipment
Renewal of burners and automation systems.
Material feed system
Upgrading feeders and loading devices.
Discharge system
Mechanisation or automation of discharge operations.
Gas path
Renewal of gas ducts and seals.
Automation
New PLC, HMI, sensors and frequency converters.
Important: the potential for higher throughput and lower heat carrier consumption is determined after analysing the process mode, raw material characteristics and technical condition of the equipment — specific figures are given only based on project calculations.
/ Automation
Drying system automation
A control system upgrade automates monitoring of the temperature mode, drum loading and heat generating equipment operation.
Process cycle
- Raw material loading
- Feed into the drum
- Drying
- Temperature monitoring
- Discharge
- Conveying
Automation equipment

- site readiness check
- installation control
- equipment position control
- connection check
- drive installation control

/ What to choose
Repair, upgrade or replacement?
Repair
When the equipment's original performance needs to be restored.
Goal: return the equipment to working order
Upgrade
When existing equipment is working or repairable, but its throughput, automation or operating characteristics need to change.
Goal: improve the existing system
Replacement
When remaining service life, structural condition or restoration cost make further repair economically unjustified.
Goal: replace the equipment with a new solution
