2
Silicon Boot that seals Cutter Head breaks after two weeks Lubricant and silicon boot pieces drop into donut batter Takes over two hours to replace boot with a new one Problem Statement
3
Eliminate lubricant leaking into the donut batter Design a boot that lasts longer Keep same mounting points Keep same plunger motion Shorter boot replacement time Key Needs
4
Concepts Boot redesign – longer lasting
5
Trip Arm Redesign Detachable Machined Down Concepts
6
Cam Bearing Material Change Slide Plate Redesign Concepts
7
FE analysis of boot Design New design has 25% less stress Final Design First Choice Second Choice
8
Boot Redesign – Comparative Stress Analysis Final Design Original – 100% 1st Choice – 100%2nd Choice – 61%
9
Analysis of Detachable Trip Arm New design is sufficiently strong 31% of Yield Strength Final Design
10
Tested of Machined Trip Arms Removed oil leak path Small amount of oil sticks to Drip Plate Use in conjunction with new Drip Plate design Final Design
11
Slotted Drip Plates No real advantage Use final design with machined Trip Arms Removes remaining oil path Final Design
12
Tested Oil-impregnated bronze bearing Max PV value-50,000 Calculated PV value- 812 Test results Steel Bearing ~ Bronze Bearing ~ Final Design
13
Benchmarking Eliminate lubricant leaking into the donut batter Machined Trip Arms Drip Plate Redesign New Sleeve Bearing Design a boot that lasts longer New Design has 25% less stress Keep same mounting points Unchanged Keep same plunger motion Unchanged Shorter boot replacement time Detachable Trip Arms
