Auditory clues can also indicate that a rotary drum may be out of alignment. Drive components should run smoothly, without excessive chatter or vibrations.

If you see or hear any of the misalignment signs noted above, contact a FEECO Customer Service Engineer immediately. Utilizing a state-of-the-art laser tracking system, our engineers can diagnose misalignment on any drum, be it a rotary dryer, cooler, kiln, or granulator. They can also assist in training the drum back to proper alignment.

Leaving a rotary drum out of alignment can only increase wear and damage, resulting in additional downtime and maintenance costs. For more information, contact us today.
