Train Dynamic Analysis Investigation into excessive wagon noise For this case study KMK used KSIM, in-house developed, Train Dynamic Simulation software, to calculate the dynamics of a noisy train. This site was installed without predicting the wagon forces, resulting in issues for both client and the residents nearby. Problems identified: Noise pollution – Train [...]
Machine Audit KMK was invited to carry out the audit of an aging ship unloader. We inspected, surveyed, and validated the structural and mechanical function of the material reclaimer. Previously, it was used for unloading coal from bulk carriers at a historically important dock. Objectives: Inspection – Determine the state of the unloader Audit [...]
Site Consulting and Optimisation KMK inspected, analysed and optimised the operation of a major export terminal. Unfortunately, failures were interrupting the operation of the plant while further expansion of the facility was expected, and validation of new machines and processes was needed. Finding Inaccuracies – in the operation cycles of the machines - introducing [...]
O-Type Wagon Tippler KMK Bulk Material Handling division was given the opportunity to design a replacement O-Type Tippler. The original Tippler was well used and worn out. The new machine was designed to: Fit into the existing foundations Handle an increased wagon load from 135t to 150t Include KMK’s design upgrade features Handle continuous [...]
Wheel Grippers KMK have designed a unique “Surface Mounted” wagon Wheel Gripper. The Wheel Gripper is used to restrain a train of wagons as part of a wagon handling system. The whole Gripper system is: At or above ground level Accessible for ease of maintenance Accessible for inspection and replacement of parts Free of [...]
Apron Feeders KMK Bulk Material Handling division received an order to design the feeders shown below on an existing site. They replaced the previous vibrating feeders, that were not suitable for sticky material. The Compact Apron Feeder, designed to fit in a small envelope with low headroom, process material from the hoppers above, discharged [...]
Plant Throughput Optimisation KMK was requested by a major coal export terminal to review their existing wagon tippler system equipment for increasing the throughput capacity and system capability in line the new expansion. This included a site visit for equipment inspection, train track topography review, hand calculations, new plant time-cycle and running train [...]
Train Simulation KMK was tasked by a major coal handling exporter to review their newly installed car Dumper system for equipment acceptance by evaluating the current throughput capacity against the client’s original specification. This task included a site visit for equipment inspection, system control software. (PLC/HMI/SCADA) review, power requirement calculations, new plant time-cycle [...]
Spectator Grandstands KMK Consulting Engineers comprise of structural and mechanical engineers, project and site managers. The team has all the knowledge necessary to design, build and develop sports grandstand seating. KMK can guide developers and owners through all phases of the project. These phases will include: Working with architects on the initial design [...]
Train Mover Design 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. 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, [...]
