Cement temperature guide

A new application factfile from ABB covering temperature measurement in the cement industry is now available free of cost.

Cement manufacturing sites are difficult, arduous applications characterised by extreme temperatures and corrosive dust. As well as the risk of overheating of key items of plant, there is also the risk of fire and potential explosions caused by dust particles. Choosing the best type of instrument for these conditions is therefore crucial.

The double-sided guide explains the key considerations determining the selection of temperature equipment and outlines the various options on offer. Recommendations are made for the three key areas where temperature needs to be monitored, namely the kiln, preheater and clinker feeder.
