Project Highlights
Mining and Mineral Processing Projects
Kiln Support Saddle
During a plant outage, a cement customer found that their kiln lifting beam (or saddle) was buckling due to the compression forces between the kiln and the hydraulic cylinders used to lift the kiln off its trunnion rollers.
Vertical Finish Mill Cost Estimate
ZAP provided preliminary engineering and design for a vertical cement mill grinding system.
Soda Ash Load-Out
ZAP completed the engineering and design to modify an existing truck loadout system fed from a storage dome and from the F&I silo to meet Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) regulations.
