One Brevini solution: a coal industry experience

A 2,100 MW power station located at the coal mine site in the Latrobe Valley in Victoria required an old structure retrofitted, with work done to a tight deadline. Situtated on a travelling stacker were two dual drive conveyors which had been in use since 1987, conveying coal from the mine to the power station. The drive units needed to be replaced without any modification to the existing structure, while still achieving an increase in power and improvements to the brakes. The replacement also needed to occur on a very strict schedule, to coincide with a planned maintenance shutdown and thereby prevent any disruption to the operation of the plant. In addition, the environment was challenging in that it suered very wet winters, with dry and dusty summers. The units still had to achieve high design life, low noise and reliability in spite of these diculties. Scheduling was critical, as there was a very small window in which the plant shutdown could accommodatethe installation of the units. This job was therefore managed through Brevinis specialist Engineering & Contracts Department. This department utilises the latest methods in project management, and incorporates the best of Brevini's technical skills, expediting skills, communication and documentation procedures. We knew that we had to make sure that the power station could proceed with their scheduled shutdown, confident in the delivery and quality of the new drives. Brevini also quoted the entire conveyor package, including the pulleys and bearings. This allowed the customer to easily assess the total cost of various engineering options. Brevini supplied five Posired two helical gear units (which included one spare), fitted to custom designed base frames. The motor power was increased to 160kw, drum brakes were replaced with disc brakes and encoders were fitted for accuracy. The resulting design delivered a high degree of interchangability with the existing units, and resulted in no modifications being made to the existing structure. mining quarrying cement construction earthmoving utilities water treatment material handling

Pl anetar y & Helic al Gears Combined

PIVPosiplan is another organisation in the Brevini Power Transmission Group. The company supplies a unique product, which combines planetary and helical gears. Sizes range from 13 to 28. Nominal output torque ranges from 2,100 Nm up to 35,000 Nm. Extremely reliable, these units are very compact -while achieving similar performance and reliability to traditional helical and bevel-helical gearboxes. The smaller dimensions (and weight) gives the user advantages both in cost and application versatility. Modular in design, a wide range of ratios is available. The gearbox is mostly shaft mounted, with a range of through type hollow output shafts. Gears of the helical stage are case-hardedned and profile ground. The teeth correction and crowing design guarantee optimum perfornances under load. Eciency are over 95% and more depending on the number of stages. Gleason bevel gears are case hardened and profile ground or lapped in pairs. With planetary gears, the ring gear is nitrided, the pinon and planet gears are case ardend with profile ground. The planetary gears are optimised for maixmum performance and quiet operation. Many inputs and couplings are available. High eciency seals, with the option of labyrinth seals and double seals, with separate grease-filled chamber is also available. There is also the choice of a range of accessories such as torque arms, shrink discs, common bed frame, backstops and brakes, as well as auxiliiary drives, cooling and filtering systems.

Live bottom bin application: our size restriction solution

A live bottom bin is used to transfer large amounts of material that is generally dicult to convey, and is especially suited for applications where there is a limited working area. They consist of multiple screw feeders arranged in parallel configuration across the floor of the bin; the unit completes two functions by both storing and transferring the material. This applicaiton is in a clean coal technology plant, which required a live bottom bin to be installed into an extremely dimensionally restricted room. Brevini was required to supply the motors and gear units to drive 4 parallel screw feeders, in a medium power application, with a medium torque value. A helical gear unit would have been the traditional selection, due to its thermal properties, however this style of unit would not fit within the room available. A planetary gearbox, while smaller, would not have been able to adequately dissipate the heat. Brevini used Posiplan gear units to get over the size restrictions. The gear units were suciently compact to be arranged side by side, to enable the 4 parallel screw configuration required to move the volume of material in the bin. They incorporated a built in torque arm and provided highly suited thermal properties for the application. This new series of lighter, more compact gear reducers surpass traditional solutions for planetary and bevel helical gear reducers. They provide higher torque for the same weight and dimensions. Their design also allows shorter production times and lower production costs, making them the ideal solution for your size restricted applications. mining quarrying cement construction earthmoving utilities water treatment material handling

Refurbishing a large double drum shaft sink kibble winch

Brevini Australia was requested to provide a solution for a large double drum shaft sink kibble winch. The winch had two drums each powered by 600 kW motors that could be clutched- in together to provide 1200 kW to one drum with a peak power of 2600 kW. The motors were back to back with a rear non-drive end shaft extension with and electromagnetic clutch that could combine the power. The winch drums were running parallel to the motors and the method used to reduce the speed and increase the torque was to employ a single stage spiral bevel reducer providing a right angle arrangement and then driving into a bevel helical reducer also providing a right angle arrangement with both gear reducers mounted onto a base frame, hence the input and output shafts we parallel. The centre distance between shafts was in excess of 2.7 m between the motor output shaft and the driven winch shaft. So, we not only considered using a single stage bevel and bevel helical reducer on a base frame but also an N series helical reducer with extended centre distance. The Helical unit could oer a lot of advantages over the old method including having only half of the shafts exposed, no base frame would be required, alignment would be easier and if we were to use our contactless oil seals they would never have the need to be concerned with oil leaks as in the past. Brevini PIV Germany were able to design a helical reducer that would not only meet the technical requirements but that also was able to provide the exact ratio and the required centre distance down to 1 mm. Delivery was also required on a very tight delivery schedule. Note that he mass of each reducer is over 13 tonnes. These are the largest N series helical units ever sold in the world. mining quarrying cement construction earthmoving utilities water treatment material handling
