Cooling Grate fabrication and installation
Cooling Grates are installed at the end of the cement production process. They provide the cooling process for the end product before going off to storage vessels.
Due to the scale and weight of this system our expertise in this area of engineering ensures the correct installation and alignment of this equipment and that they will continue to work as designed. We also fabricate and install the support systems for Cooler Grates
Ball Mill maintenance
Ball Mills are prevalent in many industries and are a very high wear piece of equipment. Therefore, ball mills require frequent, specialist maintenance as well as repair work and we have the expertise to carry both services. We can supply trained and specialised engineers to carry out work on removing mill internals and changing trunion ends.
The balance of the mill is critical and our team have a great deal of experience in keeping ball mills at peak performance. From the provision of project management, supervision and craftsmen to repairs and maintenance we are ideally placed to meet your needs.
Vertical Kilns Maintenance
This is an area where we feel our expertise is second to none. We carry out all areas of work using our highly skilled and experienced team. We can project manage all work from plating, refractory and commissioning. Leaving the client with a kiln that is working at peak efficiency.
Sometimes problems are caused by lack of maintenance - and therefore a scheduled programme of maintenance saves panic when breakdowns occur. We appreciate that loss of production results in loss of earnings so down time has to be minimal. Working to tight timescales is quite normal for us, this is how we work and we are good at what we do.
Brunner Mond recognise the importance of well maintained equipment and have established a long term maintenance contract with us
Blast Furnace maintenance
Grayton Engineering have extensive knowledge and experience of working on blast furnaces and as a result of this we carry out regular maintenance on blast furnaces. We have a highly skilled team of engineering personnel who are able to provide the appropriate maintenance services in this specialised area. We have also installed a slag granulation plant on the blast furnaces and associated pressure vessels.
Working closely with Corus staff we are able to carry out work from routine preventative maintenance to specialist one off projects.

Brunner Mond Secheur drivers
Secheur drivers are used to dry the highly abrasive soda ash as part of their process. We use our rotating equipment skills to ensure that the bearings, rollers and tyres are properly maintained and aligned.
The skills exhibited by us have led to a long term, lasting relationship providing the client with a high level of reliability. Brunner Mond also recognise the importance of having a maintenance contract with ourselves to adjust support rollers, tyres and carry out general mechanical overhalls of equipment.
Celanese Acetate
Celanese Acetate manufacture cigarette filters which are made from acetate flake and this involves using both rotary washers and rotary driers in the manufacturing process. However, as this process also involves the use of a lot of acid they are always in need of repair. The equipment is generally hard to work on as they are usually in hard to reach places, inside a building making access extremely difficult.
We recommend that regular surveys are carried out on these items of equipment to highlight any work that needs doing to prevent breakdown of equipment and subsequently loss of production time and loss of income.
Potash Market
Cleveland Potash use rotary washers in their manufacturing process and these in turn use lots of water. Potash is highly corrosive so these rotary washers are specifically designed to withstand the highly corrosive nature of the process. For us this just means applying our specialist rotating equipment knowledge as normal, but using equipment made of different materials such as Corten in this case. Another area we work in is that of rotary driers.
These often have more complex internals that move the feed stock around, but again our years of experience gives our customers the peace of mind that when we finish our job they are left with reliable efficient equipment.

Refurbish tyre at Castle Cement
As this job involved a cracked tyre it had to be treated as a priority case. The tyre needed replacing with minimum downtime to reduce lost production time as we are well aware that any lost time in this industry can be very costly. The existing shell needed to be supported and cut, to enable removal and replacement of the tyre on that section of the kiln.

| A cracked tyre needed replacing. | Support spiders were put in place. | Grayton provided the specialists. |
We encountered different challenges on this project - we needed a highly specialised lift to get the tyre into position on site and we had to design specialist lugs to assist with lifting the tyre off.
