Routine inspections are critical for identifying potential issues before they lead to costly repairs or unplanned downtime. At O’Connor Kiln & Dryer, Inc., we provide comprehensive rotary equipment inspections, using advanced diagnostic tools and industry expertise to assess the condition of your kiln or dryer.
Our Inspection Process Includes:
- Visual & Structural Assessment – Checking for cracks, warping, and signs of wear in tires, trunnions, shell sections, and support structures.
- Mechanical Component Evaluation – Assessing the condition of drive systems, gear and pinion engagement, thrust rollers, bearings, and seals.
- Alignment & Wear Analysis – Using optical laser alignment to check for misalignment, excessive wear, and mechanical stress.
- Temperature & Vibration Monitoring – Identifying overheating or unusual vibrations that may indicate underlying mechanical issues.
- Lubrication & Maintenance Review – Evaluating lubrication systems and recommending proper maintenance schedules.
Following our inspection, we provide a detailed report outlining our findings, recommendations, and a priority-based action plan to help you prevent breakdowns, reduce maintenance costs, and extend equipment life.
