Manufacturing Layout Design for Conveyors, Chutes and Production Equipment

Image
  Manufacturing Layout Design for Conveyors, Chutes and Production Equipment Manufacturing layouts are often treated as simple floor plans showing where each machine should be positioned. In practice, an effective layout must coordinate production equipment, conveyors, chutes, transfer stations, maintenance access, material movement, factory services and the surrounding building. Hamilton By Design provides manufacturing layout design services across Australia for new equipment installations, production-line modifications, brownfield upgrades and factory expansion projects. By combining 3D laser scanning, mechanical engineering and 3D CAD modelling, proposed equipment can be positioned and reviewed within an accurate representation of the existing facility. Why Manufacturing Layouts Need More Than a Floor Plan A machine may appear to fit within an available space when viewed on a basic two-dimensional drawing. However, the proposed arrangement may still conflict with: structural c...

3D Laser Scanning for Hunter Valley CHPP Chutes and Transfer Stations

Image
3D Laser Scanning for Hunter Valley CHPP Chutes and Transfer Stations Coal Handling and Preparation Plants across the Hunter Valley depend on conveyors, chutes, hoppers, launders and transfer stations operating reliably under demanding conditions. These areas are also among the most difficult parts of a CHPP to measure and modify. Transfer points are commonly surrounded by structural steel, conveyor frames, platforms, handrails, guards, pipework, electrical services and existing mechanical equipment. Years of maintenance and plant modifications can also mean that the installed arrangement no longer matches the original drawings. Hamilton By Design’s new webpage explains how engineering-led 3D laser scanning supports Hunter Valley CHPP maintenance, upgrades and shutdown projects .

3D Laser Scanning for Chutes, Transfer Stations and Mining Fabrication in Newcastle and the Hunter Valley

Image
Conveyor chutes and transfer stations often operate within some of the most congested areas of a mining or bulk-materials-handling facility. Existing conveyor structures, head pulleys, discharge points, walkways, pipework, guarding, electrical services and structural steel can all affect the design and installation of a replacement chute or transfer-station component. Where drawings are incomplete, outdated or unavailable, relying only on manual measurements can increase the risk of fabrication and installation problems. Hamilton By Design provides engineer-led 3D laser scanning, mechanical engineering and CAD modelling services for chute, conveyor and mining fabrication projects throughout Newcastle and the Hunter Valley. Capturing Existing Chutes and Transfer Stations Terrestrial 3D laser scanning can capture the visible geometry surrounding an existing chute or conveyor transfer point. Depending on site access and line of sight, the captured point cloud may include: Conveyor head an...
