Cement production: quarry, raw material preparation, calcination, clinker, cement.

Grinding Components

  • Welding Alloys, through its worldwide presence and application expertise, has become the world's largest service company for grinding mills.  We are able to carry out hardfacing and cladding at our Integra Service Centres or on-site in every corner of the world.  The unique WA approach combines a complete analysis of the operating conditions, the identification of the optimal working conditions and a treatment of the grinding components in such a way that the optimal working conditions are maintained over the longest period of time possible.  Users of this proactive approach have saved millions of kWh at constant optimised production level, with typical pay back periods measured in months.

Rotary Kiln

  • In a cement plant the rotary kiln is one of the main bottle necks, any failure of this complex installation leads to a plant stoppage.  Welding Alloys has created a special cored wire for reliable economical and ultra fast weld repairs of casings, tyres and support rollers.  The use of MultiSurfacer automated equipment reduces considerably the repair time.  Operators from Welding Alloys Integra Service Centres have been trained for these specific applications and have halved intervention times compared to traditional repair solutions using stick electrodes.

Roller presses

  • Roller presses (RP) are widely used for clinker, slag grinding and other crushing applications.  Welding Alloys Integra Service Centres have developed several hardfacing techniques as an answer to the various minerals treated in this processing environment.  WA supplies both new and refurbished RP rollers for almost all types of roller presses present on the market.

Concrete Mixer Plants

  • Concrete is, today, the most used construction material in developed and developing economies around the world.  The mixture of sand, water, stones and cement occurs in concrete mixers.  Efficient premixed concrete suppliers are reducing their maintenance costs thanks to Welding Alloys in-depth application knowledge and experience. Concrete mixer paddles and casings hardfaced by WA wear resistant alloys are bringing down the costs of concrete production and are proven to out-perform competitor solutions.
