Once again, our customer IKN GmbH relied on the proven SGS quality and assigned us to reconstruct the kiln inlet at SCHWENK Zement in Allmendingen. Our #SGSteam replaces individual segments of the 96 m long rotary kiln including the roller bearings during the annual winter shutdown. The heavy loads of the individual parts were particularly challenging.

Our scope of services

With a turnaround time of 4 months, our #SGS team replaced individual sections of the 96 m long rotary kiln. SGS Industrial Services GmbH was responsible for the mechanical erection of:

  • the kiln inlet including a new roller station
  • the infeed chamber
  • the steel construction inspections

Successful handling of heavy loads

The weight of the individual parts was particularly challenging. The heaviest lift, with a total weight of 247 tons, comprised the pre-assembled kiln section with race. Within a span of three hours and utilizing an 600 tons crawler crane, the #SGSteam successfully carried out the large lift. Due to various interfering edges, the kiln was only able to be turned sideways. These challenges were overcome smoothly and professionally thank to the excellent collaboration within the #SGSteam, as well as with customers and partners.
