Manage costs. Plan the next shutdown.

From raw meal to cement, REX connects energy, maintenance and production to anticipate line expenditure and decide where to invest.

Your economic decisions

One production line. A budget to prepare.

Fuel, electricity, wear parts and major shutdowns all contribute to cement costs. Connect expenditure to process areas and production volumes to explain variances and prepare investments that serve the line.

Raw materials

Energy and wear parts for crushing and raw grinding.

Pyroprocessing

Fuel, refractories and major shutdown expenditure.

Cement grinding

Electricity and maintenance for mills and separators.

Handling & dispatch

Maintenance and renewal of conveying and packing equipment.

From mill readings to the shutdown schedule

Conveyors above aggregate stockpiles at a materials handling plant.

How much electricity does each tonne take?

Your team pairs mill meter readings with cement output over the same periods. That shows when electricity use per tonne started to rise.

REX

Which jobs belong in the next shutdown?

A mill is using more electricity per tonne of cement. In REX, your team can compare that rise with production volumes, parts replacements and maintenance records to decide what to inspect during the shutdown.

Costs to review by process area

Raw grinding

Electricity use and wear on grinding parts.

Kiln

Fuel and refractory lining due for replacement.

Cement grinding

Mill electricity use per tonne produced.

Let’s plan your next shutdown.

Which part of the line needs attention, and when is the shutdown scheduled? We can use those two details to look at which jobs will fit.

Discuss my next shutdown
  • Diagnostics

    Use meter readings and operating conditions to find out why the mill is drawing more power per tonne.

  • Investment studies

    Compare refurbishing the drive with replacing it, taking cost and the available shutdown window into account.
