“Make this Kiln more Reliable and Efficient”
Pennsylvania, US – December 18, 2024 – In the Rotary Processing Equipment industry (Industrial Kilns and Dryers), Finch Manufacturing is the only ISO 9001:2015 certified company and our customers return to Finch for our high-quality products and real solutions. Due to Finch’s reputation for high quality and cost competitive pricing, an old customer, a large chemical manufacturer, asked Finch Manufacturing to upgrade an aging kiln that was having reliability problems. The Finch team jumped at the challenge and created detailed upgrade plans, designed and manufactured the new and upgraded components, and supervised the install.
Mike Brown, COO of Finch Manufacturing & Technology, LLC says “This is an area in which we excel – analyzing your older kiln’s performance and upgrading different components to enhance reliability and energy efficiency. We work side by side with the customer and determine the true needs and explain why the new or upgraded components will make the system better. We then manage the whole process, turnkey, from design to install and start-up. We make this project easy for our customers and allow them to do what they do best – produce their product.”
The Finch Manufacturing engineer went on-site and spoke with the customer to listen to their needs and inspect the existing unit. A detailed list was then made of needed enhancements and improvements – what do they truly need and want! The Finch engineer then reviewed the system in production and took needed measurements. Our engineer then worked with the whole Finch Manufacturing team verifying the project goals and ensuring the customer requirements will be met. Our engineer then reviewed the design with the customer. Upon receiving approval from the customer, the Finch team created the detailed drawings and plans required for the manufacture and install
The final turnkey project consisted of the design and fabrication of new supporting inlet & discharge base frames that needed to be installed on existing concrete piers with four new 28-inch trunnion roller assemblies, two 18-inch thrust roller assemblies, spur and pinion gear guards, and an auto lubrication system. Finch also designed and fabricated two custom saddles to support the dryer during the installation of the new base frames. As with most of these projects, Finch Manufacturing designed and built the base frames with adjustment blocks, trunnion guarding, anchor bolts, and mounting hardware for trunnions and thrust rollers.
Finch Manufacturing designed and fabricated the four forged and hardened 28-inch trunnions and the two 18-inch thrust roller assemblies to specific standards with SKF bearings The customer also wanted to add spur and pinion gear guards to enhance safety and protect the gears. These custom fabricated components are painted safety yellow seen in the photos. A custom auto lubrication system was designed and installed to ensure the drive system was greased properly to ensure proper operation and extend its life.
Since this was a turnkey project, Finch Manufacturing managed the installation and start up process. A Finch engineer was on site and directed all aspects of the install performed by a Finch crew. The Finch engineer assisted with the start-up process to ensure the upgraded system operated properly and met its stated goals for enhanced operation. This project was completed on time, and we left our customer happy.
