Working at the factory

This is the exit sluice of the kiln that we are working on now, it gave us many trouble, broken motors, broken sensors, strange control software. But after 5 days hard work we were able to get it working.









Here, one of the technicians is opening the nitrogen mainvalve for the sluice and the kiln. Since it is high in the factory, he's just standing on the forklift to reach it. Dangerous working, but Chinese men are not easily afraid of something dangerous......

Here you see the kiln from the side. It is very long. I walk this distance about 100 times a day...........a very nice walk in total.








So, the kiln is more or less running, now it's time for a shake. You know, this stuff really got me going these days. It was sometimes very difficult, but at least this gave me the energy to go on and try again.







Here is the computer screen of the Allen Bradly PLC control system. We never worked again before with this system, so we really had to re-invent the wheel. But it is WORKING!!!!!









Here is the same screen -live-. You hear the loud noise of the big fans of the kiln in the background.
