Beating the Wear – How TLT-Turbo Doubles Fan Lifespan in Cement Plants

In the May 2025 issue of World Cement, TLT-Turbo expert Sabine Groh outlines how material analysis, CFD simulation, and in-depth industry expertise can significantly extend the operational life of fans in the cement industry.

How to Extend Fan Life Under the Toughest Conditions

Fans used in cement plants face some of the harshest operating conditions – abrasive dust, high temperatures, and constant exposure to particles lead to severe wear. In the article Fan Wear Fixes, Sabine Groh demonstrates how TLT-Turbo applies targeted particle sampling, optimized material selection, and aerodynamic improvements to reduce erosion and prevent premature failure.

A must-read for plant operators looking to avoid unplanned downtime and reduce maintenance costs.
