Optimus Process Solutions is a process engineering consultant business focused on the science behind the process. We have expertise in process services related to rotary kilns, rotary dryers, ball mills, and other rotary equipment. We got our start by responding to request after request for help from individuals that were given the responsibility for the process and need help in meeting emissions standards, reducing energy consumption, improving product quality and increasing process capability.

Ever wonder what excessive shell ovality could be telling you about your unit? 👀

As your unit rotates, the shell naturally flexes. A little flexing is normal, but too much can put additional stress on the shell over time.

That repeated flexing can contribute to:
• Shell fatigue
• Distortion
• Cracks

But shell ovality can also offer insight into your refractory. Changes in shell flexing may indicate areas where the refractory has deteriorated or shifted.

That’s why monitoring and trending shell ovality over time is so important. Keeping an eye on changes can help you spot developing issues before they become much bigger, and more expensive, problems.

We don't gatekeep around here 😤 So here's a simple way to take some of the guesswork out of getting your support roller slopes just right.

When they're out of alignment, premature wear could be right around the corner.

So, how do you know how much adjustment is needed? An inclinometer can help you measure the existing slope and determine the adjustment needed.

Because when it comes to equipment maintenance, we're all for making the job a little easier.

No two days are ever the same in the field. Here’s a quick snapshot of one of our engineers completing an alignment survey on a customer's rotary dryer this week.

From traveling, to working in the office to visiting a jobsite, our engineers wear a lot of hats—and they’re always ready for wherever the job takes them.

🔥Same burner. Very different results.

👉 See the before-and-after difference proper flame optimization can make.

Better combustion can improve fuel efficiency, product quality, and equipment performance.

MYTH: If the flame is burning, it's efficient.

REALITY: Small adjustments can make a significant difference.

Our engineers are on site this week helping a customer get their rotary unit back in peak shape..

Rain, shine, or high heat, our crew loves getting hands-on with the equipment and working alongside some of the best plant teams in the business.

Shoutout to all the plant operators and maintenance crews keeping things running smoothly this week! 👏

Spotting kiln crank (or dogleg) 🔍

This video shows a severe case of crank and breaks down one of the very first warning signs you need to look out for. The distortion on this particular shell was so extreme that it requires a shell section replacement to fix the issue and get things back in alignment. ⚙️🛠️

Watch to see the movement for yourself and learn what to look for on your own equipment!

Alignment surveys are all about data, but we are all about support! 👋📋

We know that getting a page full of numbers doesn't do much good if you don't have a clear plan of action. That’s why our team doesn't just deliver a report. We sit down and help you understand exactly what the data means for your unit, your daily operation, and your maintenance work.

We're here to help you make sense of the details so you can keep your equipment running smoothly and your production goals met.

Putting our engineering abilities to the test! ⚙️💨

To help a customer make data-driven decisions, our team built a mock baghouse right here in our shop. This allows us to accurately simulate and analyze their system's airflow before finalizing any process changes.

When it comes to rotary equipment, balancing the airflow is the key to lower fuel consumption and stable product quality.

Watch our team in action testing it out 👇
