2. Design20FIRST The Idea…..
Update 19th Century Rotary Equipment Systems with..
Mass Produced, Lightweight, Off-the-Shelf, Modular Components
and Responsive Computerized Controls.
* Borrowed from Modern Railroad Technology.
There’s a Better Way to Do It. Go Find It Thomas Edison

3. Design20FIRST The Scope…..
Replace: With:
Solid Cast Tyres Split or Solid Rails Welded in Place
Trunnions Paired Skewable Flanged Wheels
Fixed, Solid Base Support Sliding Baseplate / Hydraulic Suspension
Girth Gear Drive Multiple Friction Wheels
Manual Mechanical Alignment / Computer Controlled Hydraulic
Skewing Skewing

6. Design20FIRST New Rotary Technology…..
….. Advances:
Computer Controlled “Self-Driving” Alignment
Automatic and Continuous Alignment Adjustment for:
- Load Changes
- Thermal Expansion
- Distortions in the Shell
- Foundation Movement
Process Change – Variable Speed and Slope
Drive Energy Reduced – Less Friction From Skewing Forces

9. Design20FIRST The New Rotary Economy…..
Economic Advantages:
Off-the-Shelf, Mass Produced, Lightweight Modular Components
Eliminate Girth Gears and Thrust Buttons
Ease of Construction, Fast Delivery
Lower Capital Cost, Low Maintenance, Less Downtime
Redundant Components – Repair and Replace On-The-RUN

10. Design20FIRST The New Rotary World…..
New Rotary Equipment Capabilities:
-- Higher Load Capacity (More Product, Internals, Refractory)
-- Higher Rotational Speeds
-- Longer Drums, Larger Diameter
-- Improved Adaptability for Thermal Expansion
(INSTEAD OF THE TYRE MOVING LATERALLY ACROSS THE FACE OF THE FIXED CONVENTIONAL ROLLER, THE ROLLERS MOVE WITH THE KILN. THE EXPANSION COEFFICIENT OF CARBON STEEL IS INCHES/INCH/DEGF.)

11. Design20FIRST The New Rotary World…..
Enabling:
-- New Process Applications
-- Competition with Spray Dryers, Flash Dryers, Fluid Beds
-- Improved Project Economics and Sustainability
-- Improved Rotary Equipment Business Opportunities
-- Replacement of Worn Out and Problematic Existing Tyres and Trunnions – with Much Less Downtime

12. Design20FIRST Business Plan…..
Seek to:
-- Sell, Partner or License US Patent 9,482,384
-- Secure International Patents Before January 2, 2017
(Foreign Filing Deadline per PCT Application No.
PCT/US15/32946, Filed May 28, 2015)
-- Partner or Assist in the Commercialization of the
Technology
-- Game Change the Rotary Equipment Business!

13. Design20FIRST Commercialization …..
Develop the Technology - Cost Estimates:
Support, Suspension, Drive Modules * $500,000
Control Software * ,000
Testing ,000
Marketing and Promotion ,000
Total Development Cost $1,000,000
The controls and mechanics are complex, but well within the scope of 21st century robotics and computerization.

14. Design20FIRST Commercialization …..
Economics – ROI
The cost of manufacturing and delivering Design20FIRST Rotary Units is estimated to be half the cost of a conventional rotary unit.
Other savings accrue from lower maintenance and operational costs.
The ROI / Payback on the investment in this new technology should be VERY FAVORABLE.
An detailed economic evaluation of this new technology and resulting new business opportunities is being prepared. 14
