At AC Engineering, we pride ourselves on delivering tailored engineering solutions that drive productivity and efficiency. A recent project exemplifies our expertise in designing, fabricating, and installing custom equipment to meet the specific needs of our clients. This project focused on chute and conveyor modifications to significantly increase production capacity while ensuring smooth, spill-free operations.
Custom Conveyor Fabrication
The first step in this project was the fabrication of a 400mm wider conveyor, designed to handle increased material flow and improve overall production efficiency. Using our state-of-the-art workshop, our skilled team crafted the conveyor to precise specifications.
The wider design wasn’t just about increasing capacity; it was also tailored to ensure durability and reliability under heavy loads. Every detail, from the frame structure to the conveyor belt material, was chosen to meet the demands of the client’s operations while maintaining a robust and long-lasting build.
Removal of Existing Equipment
Once the new conveyor was fabricated, our on-site team began the dismantling process. This phase involved carefully removing the existing conveyor and chute work, ensuring minimal disruption to the client’s ongoing operations.
Dismantling is a critical step in any upgrade project. Our team worked meticulously to avoid damage to surrounding structures and systems, creating a clean and prepared site for the installation of the new equipment.
Installation of the New Conveyor
Installing the new, wider conveyor required precision and expertise. The team carefully positioned the conveyor to ensure optimal alignment and prevent material spillages during operation. This step was crucial for maintaining the efficiency and cleanliness of the production process.
Our team also ensured that the installation met all safety and operational standards, creating a secure and effective setup that would support increased production capacity.
On-Site Fabrication of the Chute
To complement the new conveyor, a custom chute was fabricated directly on-site. This chute was designed to suit the specific requirements of the rotary trommel discharge, ensuring a seamless flow of materials.
By fabricating the chute on-site, we were able to make real-time adjustments, guaranteeing a perfect fit and smooth integration with the existing plant infrastructure. This approach not only saved time but also ensured that the system worked efficiently as a whole.
Testing and Performance
After the installation and chute fabrication were complete, the entire plant was subjected to a thorough test run. This critical phase allowed us to verify the alignment, performance, and efficiency of the new conveyor and chute system.
The plant performed flawlessly, with no spillages or interruptions. The wider conveyor and optimised chute design ensured that materials flowed smoothly and efficiently, meeting the client’s increased production demands with ease.
