OEM Equipment Reference

Identify the kiln before selecting tyres, rollers, drives, seals and repair supplies

Current Polysius kilns include polro® two-support and three-support configurations, with polguide® gearing available. ANRANST coordinates Chinese manufacture, quality control and finished-part delivery from the nameplate, serial number, kiln dimensions, support and drive arrangements, installed drawings and worn parts.

Wear Parts

Wear zones: lining, tyres and rollers, thrust, seals and pads

High-temperature corrosion, abrasion, contact fatigue, fretting and axial loads require different materials and processes. Confirm each installed position separately.

Refractory and burning-zone lining
01

Refractory and burning-zone lining

Refractory Lining & Burning-Zone Lining

Lining protects the shell and establishes burning conditions. Inlet, transition, burning and cooling zones differ in temperature, chemical attack, coating and mechanical loads; confirm zoning, thickness, brick shapes and anchors from lining drawings.

Spare Parts

Support, tyre, gearing, hydraulic thrust and seal spares

Check drive and load-bearing spares as assemblies for installed interfaces, loads, materials, heat treatment, NDT, accuracy, lubrication and hot alignment.

Forged roller, shaft and base unit
01

Forged roller, shaft and base unit

Forged Supporting Roller, Axle & Base Unit

The roller and shaft form a permanently joined load-bearing unit; bearings on both sides and the base complete the station. Confirm diameters, width, bearing span, base datums, load and hot alignment before manufacture or repair.

Drive gearbox, coupling and lubrication components

Drive gearbox, coupling and lubrication components

Drive Gear Unit, Coupling & Lubrication Components

The three-support kiln's electromechanical planetary drive and polguide® gearing require gearboxes, couplings, bearings, brakes, lubrication and monitoring. Confirm nameplate, ratio, torque, shaft ends, base and interlocks from drive drawings.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Why is a similar diameter insufficient for replacing kiln parts?

Tyres, rollers, thrust parts, gears and seals depend on support count, loads, hot ovality, axial travel, centre distances and interfaces. Check nameplate, serial number, assembly and part drawings, and measurements.

Can only the tyre or roller be repaired?

First measure both parts for diameter, roundness, taper, contact band and axes. With systematic uneven loading, repairing one part may leave waviness, edge loading or axial wandering unresolved.

Can you coordinate on-site kiln inspection and finished-part delivery?

Yes. ANRANST can coordinate consultation, manufacturer sourcing, material and drawing checks, quality control, on-site inspection and finished-part delivery within the project scope.

Submit kiln nameplate, tyre and roller dimensions, drawings or worn-part records

Provide shell diameter and length, support count, drive type, tyre and roller dimensions, axial movement, drawing, worn-part photos, materials and failure details. We coordinate identification, material assessment, manufacture, quality control and delivery.
