Combustion Engineering Raymond Bowl Mill asbestos-fabric classifier lining and asbestos-packed shaft seals for coal-fired cement kiln raw-meal grinding

Product Description

Plaintiffs alleged in publicly filed U.S. asbestos personal-injury and wrongful-death litigation that Combustion Engineering (CE) supplied Raymond Bowl Mills — the vertical roller mills widely used across U.S. cement plants for coal preparation and raw-meal grinding — whose classifier housings allegedly used asbestos-fabric lining to control abrasion and heat, and whose vertical drive shafts allegedly used asbestos rope packing at the primary seal.

According to publicly filed asbestos litigation records, classifier inspections allegedly required opening the housing and disturbing the asbestos-fabric lining, and shaft packing allegedly had to be cut, repacked, and gland-adjusted on a scheduled basis.
