Our Expertise
Cement plants and quarries run high-throughput crushing and conveying lines where a blockage or a premature wear failure stops the whole line. We supply the equipment that addresses both: IC Boom System hydraulic booms to clear crusher and grizzly blockages without manual entry, and material handling and filtration equipment selected for constant particulate abrasion. Supply, installation inside the planned outage, commissioning and the critical spares list are handled as one package rather than as separate purchases.
Problems we address
- Crusher and grizzly blockages stopping the production line
- Manual blockage clearing exposing crews to serious hazards
- Constant particulate abrasion shortening equipment life
- Narrow planned outages with no room for schedule slippage
Equipment in scope
- Primary and secondary crushers and their chambers
- Grizzly decks, hoppers and conveyor transfer points
- Material handling lines in abrasive service
- Dust and effluent filtration equipment
Operational Constraints
- High-throughput particulate abrasion (clinker, limestone, slag)
- Heavy vibration on crushers and mills
- Dust-laden atmosphere requiring ATEX-compliant equipment
- Planned kiln outages that cannot slip
Recommended equipment
- IC Boom System — hydraulic unblocking booms for crushers and grizzly decks
- Material handling equipment for abrasive service
- Filtration and separation equipment for process and effluent streams
- Critical spares list issued at delivery
Types of Shutdowns
- Planned annual kiln shutdown (15–30 day window)
- Crusher and mill liner changeout campaign
- Emergency shutdown on refractory failure or mill crack
Risks We Help You Avoid
- Production line stopped by a blockage nobody can clear safely
- Injury during manual clearing of a crusher chamber
- Planned outage overrun on a late equipment delivery
- Repeat unplanned stoppages from undersized equipment
Sector FAQ
Is an unblocking boom justified on our crusher?
The question turns on how often blockages occur, the downtime they cost and the risk taken during manual clearing. We assess all three before proposing a configuration — and we say so if the investment is not justified.
Can you install during a planned cement plant outage?
Yes. Installation is planned from the outage dates, with interface review and lifting plan issued before delivery to avoid surprises on the day.
