From January to June 2018 LOVEMORE BROS. provided the rigging services and crane supply for the Sappi Ngodwana Lime Kiln refurbishment project.
Phase 1 of the project involved the installation and assembly of an Andritz supplied Lime Mud filter with associated tanks and conveyors.
Phase 2 moved onto the removal of the 2 x existing lime mud filter units complete, the lime kiln feed end with first 4 mtr section of the lime kiln shell, the ESP air filtration system ducting and finally the fire end complete with cooler, firing hood and burner assembly.
Phase 3 then required the replacement of an updated lime feed system supplied by Andritz, with a new feed box system, first section of the kiln shell, air filtration system ducting via a cyclone to the ESP inlet cone, fire end cooler with shrouds, firing hood and a refurbished burner.
LOVEMORE BROS. provided a complete rigging service with on site management for the rigging element of the entire project, from concept, receiving of the equipment to the positioning.
