Project Background Project Descriptions Vertellus Specialties Inc. Makers of Mouthwash and Gum Favor Improve Employee Safety Manual to Automatic Lifting of Barrels Less Strenuous More Efficient Design a Machine to Lift and Pour Fiber Drums Pour Powdered Chemicals into Reactors
Revised Scope The Reactors 36” - 46” High 15” - 26” Deep 2 Buildings Financial Stewardship Increased focus on stewardship
Power System Power Options Manual Electric/gearbox Pneumatic Air over Oil Hydraulics
Manual Pros: simple, inexpensive Cons: slow, strenuous to worker Pros: lift and compact, precise control Cons: explosion proof Electric/Gears
Pneumatic Pros: relatively inexpensive, high speed Cons: poor control, not enough power Pros: large lift capacity, explosion proof, fast Cons: relatively expensive, possibility of fluid leaks Hydraulic
Hydraulics Uses the simple principle of leverage
Hydraulic Components Power Options Electric Motor Air Motor Reciprocating Rotating Motion Options Rotary Actuator Linear Actuator
Proposed Solution Simple Tilting Frame Manual Height Adjustment Linear Hydraulic Cylinder Rotary Air Motor Over Center Valve Manual Control Valves
Future Challenges Hydraulic system analysis Chemical material properties Flow Optimize Frame strength and weight FEA Possible use of obsolete machinery Finalize PPFS
