Predictive maintenance reduces unplanned kiln shutdowns by up to 70%. With kiln downtime costing up to $100,000 per hour, early detection of refractory issues and bearing failures saves millions annually.
Stay compliant with OSHA silica dust standards (50 μg/m³ PEL), EPA emissions requirements, and confined space regulations while protecting workers in high-temperature, dusty environments.
With energy making up 30% of cement production costs, proper maintenance of mills and kilns can reduce electrical energy costs by up to 25% through ISO 50001 aligned practices.
A 5,000 TPD cement plant with two kiln lines reduced unplanned kiln shutdowns by 70% and improved overall kiln availability from 85% to 94% after implementing Oxmaint's maintenance system, avoiding over $2.8 million in annual production losses.
Up from 85% with Oxmaint implementation
Annual avoided production losses
Early VRM gearbox bearing detection
"Oxmaint helped us detect a VRM gearbox bearing issue four months before it would have failed. The early warning saved us an estimated $270,000 in emergency repairs and avoided 56+ hours of unplanned grinding downtime during peak production."

"The runtime-based scheduling transformed how we plan refractory inspections and mill overhauls. We now trigger work based on operating hours rather than arbitrary calendars, extending refractory life from 6 months to 12 months in our kiln head zone."

Oxmaint integrates with IoT sensors, kiln shell scanners, and OEM equipment systems to create a unified cement plant maintenance ecosystem.
Explore all integrationsOxmaint supports the complete cement manufacturing process including rotary kilns with refractory zone tracking (burning zone, transition zone, preheating zone), cyclone preheaters (4-6 stage) and precalciners, vertical roller mills (VRM), ball mills, roller presses, grate coolers, raw mills, coal mills, cement mills, crushers, conveyors, bucket elevators, bag filters, and electrostatic precipitators (ESPs). Our asset hierarchy supports tracking from plant level down to individual components like gearboxes, bearings, and refractory linings.
Unlike calendar-based maintenance, Oxmaint triggers maintenance tasks based on actual operational metrics. For kilns, this means scheduling refractory inspections based on operating hours or thermal cycles. For VRM gearboxes, which typically require complete overhaul every 48,000 operating hours, Oxmaint tracks runtime automatically and generates work orders at the right time. This approach avoids both premature maintenance (wasting resources) and unexpected failures (costly downtime).
Yes, Oxmaint's mobile app features offline-first functionality designed for cement plant conditions. Technicians can complete inspections, log work orders, and capture data even in dusty areas near kilns, mills, or crushers with limited or no connectivity. Data syncs automatically when connection is restored. The app supports ruggedized devices commonly used in high-dust, high-temperature industrial environments.
Oxmaint provides templates and tracking for OSHA respirable crystalline silica standards (50 μg/m³ permissible exposure limit), EPA Clean Air Act requirements for cement plant emissions, ISO 45001 occupational health and safety management, and ISO 50001 energy management systems (critical since energy makes up 30% of cement production costs). Our permit-to-work and LOTO features ensure safety protocols are followed for kiln entry and confined space work.
Yes, Oxmaint provides API-based integration with SCADA systems, kiln shell infrared scanners, vibration monitoring systems (for VRM and ball mill bearings), ERP platforms like SAP, and condition monitoring solutions. This enables real-time data flow from equipment sensors to trigger maintenance alerts—such as kiln shell hot spots indicating refractory damage, or elevated vibration levels on mill gearboxes signaling bearing problems.
Join leading cement manufacturers who trust Oxmaint to maximize kiln uptime, reduce energy costs, and ensure regulatory compliance in demanding 24/7 clinker production environments.
