SPECIAL PURPOSE MACHINE DESIGN

U.S. TOBACCO - CURE BIN DUMPER

We provided the mechanical and structural engineering required for the design of a new cure-bin dumper for U.S. Tobacco Company in Nashville, Tennessee. The dumper payload was over 6000 lb. and the dump rotation was 150 deg. We performed kinematic synthesis necessary to design the dumping mechanism as well as machine dynamics to determine worst case fatigue loadings on the structure. We also sized and specified and drafted the necessary hydraulic power pack, cylinders, and components.

NORANDA ALUMINUM - ANODE FEEDER

Provided design and shop fabrication drawings for a new 4’ wide x 33’ long belt feeder to a jaw crusher. Conveyor had to accept 1000# anodes after a four foot freefall, and deliver them to one of two crushers. Direction of the feeder belt dictates which crusher is fed. Project was installed in Fall of 1997. Fabricator and installer was Conveyor and Drive Equipment of St. Louis, MO.
