Annual rotary drum inspections are critical to maintaining operational efficiency, prolonging equipment life, and preventing unnecessary interruption. In fact, all equipment in the operation should be examined on an annual basis, especially if the material to be worked with is corrosive or abrasive, a common cause of accelerated wear.

FEECO’s Customer Service Team can travel directly to your facility to perform drum inspections, be it on a rotary dryer, cooler, kiln, calciner or agglomerator. Depending on the equipment type, we’ll examine its components either in operation, shut down, or both, and provide a comprehensive report on the equipment’s overall health, items to monitor, and others to repair. The annual inspection is the best way to catch potential problems before they escalate to a more severe issue.

From the drum shell and drive, to support structures and piers, our staff is familiar with the rotary drum in its entirety, and are able to provide a thorough inspection of all components. For more information on annual inspections, contact us today!
