OVER VIEW OF THE FACILITY:

The system is integrated with existing Import Conveyor system at TT-8. The system is going to integrate with Ground hopper system at OSY-2 by newly installation of F1 Conveyor from OSY-2 to TT-8A. (Phase-2). The existing system of 2I belt conveyor has been modified for the installation of V-plough feeder which feeds the material to newly constructed F2 conveyor as well as 8I Conveyor. The V-plough is working on 0% and 100% basis in Auto mode. i.e. either 100% material diverts to F2 conveyor and 0% material on 8I conveyor or 0 % to F2 and 100% to 8I conveyor. This V-plough can be manually adjusted to any range 0-100% for feeding to F2 conveyor. However performance need to be evaluated. The F2 conveyor is equipped with Belt weigher which can give indications of flow rate on F2 conveyor.

F-2 conveyor:

F-2 conveyor has belt weigher giving indication of flow rate. The Indicator mounted at 2I head drive floor for manually adjustment of V-plough. The flow rate can also be seen at Central control room. F-2 conveyor discharge end has diverter gate which transfer the material on the F3 and F4 conveyor. The Diverter gate is motorized and has manual operation facility also. The F2 conveyor has provision of magnet installation if required in future. The F-2 conveyor is designed for 1500 tph.

F-4 Conveyor:

F-4 conveyor receives the material from F-2 conveyor and F1 conveyor also. F-4 conveyor has 22 V-plough. Each V-plough is feeding the material to Surge bunker hopper via 2 chutes. Each bunker hopper has 2 nos. live load cells and 2 nos. dummy cells for indicating hopper conditions.( full or empty) Each Surge bunker hopper has one bagging system of M/S. Cronos Richards Industries. Each bagging system has stitching m/c of Gabber. Each bagging system has bag sliding chute. (revolving type for adjustment) Each bagging unit has received air from centralized air compressor unit for air control system. F-4 conveyor drive is equipped with Scoop coupling to avoid frequent starting stopping of HT motor.

Operation Of V Plough.

The V-plough has three main parts; viz: Handspike (Electro mechanical Actuator), Link mechanism to make belt Flat and V shaped 2 layer plough. When giving a command, the actuator will operate according to the direction of rotation of the motor. The plough shall placed on the belt when piston rod is coming out. The link mechanism is attached with the movement of actuator and due to this movement of link the belt profile changing from toughing to flat. ( V-plough has Idlers hinge type) The bagging system is feeding through V-plough system. The sequence of operation is such that the last V-plough i.e. say 22 nd no shall start filling bunker hopper and thereafter 21 and so on. The system reads the hopper condition and accordingly gives command to V-plough. The operation is sequential and once missed it will come only under next sequence.

Compressor for Bagging system

All bagging machines are using air control system. In place of individual air compressor, a centralized compressor system incorporated. The compressor room has pre-filtered air suction system. The compressor room has double door system and hot air exhaust ducting. The room is also equipped with exhaust fans (domestic type). IR screw type compressor unit with refrigerant type air dryer. The compressor is oil cooled type. The compressor is delivered the air to the receiver tank via dryer. The dryer is also connected with filters. The environment is very dusty and Pre-filter needs to frequent replacement/ maintenance. Provision is kept as 4 nos of Filter media as spare for maintenance.

Scoop coupling

Delta SC are totally enclosed and self supported compact scoop control fluid couplings without any weight reaction on driving or driven machine. The oil sump is built with the stationary housing and oil is introduced into the working circuit through a separate oil pump. The oil circulates through the working circuit and finally passes to the outer casing and is collected by the sliding scoop tube. The oil in the working circuit is governed by the position of scoop tube. The position of scoop tube can be governed through suitable electric actuator or manually by hand lever. On the input and output ends, suitable flexible couplings are provided for the shaft connections. A suitable oil cooler is provided in the circuit to cool the circulating oil.

Operation

The sliding scoop tube governs the oil level in the working circuit depending on its (scoop tube) position between 0 to 100%. By varying the oil level in the working circuit, the torque transmission capacity of the coupling varies, thus changing the slip in the coupling and provides step less speed variation. Delta SC couplings provide step less speed regulation in the range of 4:1 as standard for centrifugal loads like fans and pumps. They also provide continuous declutching duty for select drives.
