Cementing a relationship with ABB's transmitters
September 1st 2008

CEMEX's Rugby Cement manufacturing facility is standardising on fieldmountable temperature transmitters from ABB following successful trials on a rotary cement kiln.

The plant produces 4200t of cement each day, and it's vital to keep the kiln turning. The ABB TTF300 temperature transmitter monitors the temperature of one of the bearings responsible for carrying the enormous weight of the kiln.

The only thing keeping the two faces of the white metal bearing apart is a thin layer of lubricant. If the bearing temperature starts to rise, it can indicate a problem with the lubricant, trouble with the lubricant supply system or excessive load due to a problem with the kiln. An alarm trips if the temperature climbs to 80°C because excessive temperatures will damage the bearing.

The transmitter is easy to program. It needs neither computer nor specialised technician to configure it.

The first transmitter has been installed for more than a year without needing any maintenance and the company has just installed two more.
