MAC Suite / Maintenance & reliability / MACREF
Refractory lining inspection and wear tracking for the kiln and cyclones.
MACREF turns laser scans and lining drawings into measured refractory thickness maps for the kiln and cyclones, and tracks wear over every campaign.

The problem
What MACREF solves
Lining condition is usually judged by eye during a short shutdown. Thin spots are missed, sound brick gets replaced, and the next failure arrives as a surprise.
Features
What it does
- Measured lining thickness maps from laser scans
- Lining records and wear tracking over each campaign
- Prioritized repair scopes for shutdown and campaign planning
- Inspection reports ready to share
How it works
Step by step
- The vessel is laser scanned during a stop
- MACREF compares the scan with the lining drawing
- It produces a measured thickness map, with thin zones highlighted
- It tracks wear between campaigns and builds a prioritized repair scope
What you get
Outputs
- Measured lining thickness maps
- Wear history per vessel
- Prioritized repair scope
- Inspection reports ready to share
What we need from you
