Train Mover Design<\/h3>\n<\/div>

KMK was awarded a contract for designing an Indexer machine as part of a new Car Dumper system for 8000 tph (tonnes per hour) throughput.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wagon handling plants around the world require machines to handle trains of wagons to enable the unloading of these wagons. Typical bulk materials include Coal, Iron ore, Bauxite, etc.<\/p>\n

KMK have extensive experience in the design of these Train movers.<\/p>\n

A recent project was the supply of a design of Train mover (\u201cIndexer\u201d) to handle a train of 152 wagons. This required a Train mover of a pulling load capacity of 150t. This capacity puts this machine into the category of the largest train movers in the world.<\/p>\n

This machine was designed to client\u2019s requirements, fully compliant with all modern design codes (e.g BS EN 13001 parts 1, 2 & 3) and include the production of all mechanical procurement specifications.<\/p>\n

The features of this machine include:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Load calculations<\/strong> conducted using KMK in house developed, verified and validated train simulation software KSIM<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 12 drive, Pinion\/rack driving system<\/strong> utilising a back-to-back twin track system.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Compact<\/strong>, (short) design due to the use of a twin drive rack system. (result is less main frame deflection and consequently reduced pinion\/rack misalignment).<\/p>\n

\u2022 4 travel wheel system<\/strong> with 3 fixed wheels and 1 self-adjusting (sprung) wheel to accommodate travel rail vertical deviation.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Compact Arm counterbalance<\/strong> raising\/lowering system to reduce hydraulic cylinder pressures.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Arm to wagon coupler design<\/strong> to ensure efficient pulling load transfer to wagon coupler.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Overhead onboard electrical cable routing system<\/strong> for efficient and rapid electrical installation.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Full structural analysis<\/strong> (via Ansys<\/strong> FEA) of both loading arm and main train mover body.<\/p>\n<\/div>
