This project replaced an existing coal processing system. Coal is conveyed to the top of the structure, then gravity fed into chutes, thru a machine that breaks up large chunks of frozen coal.
Once through the machinery, coal is gravity fed to diverter valves to direct coal feed to two different conveyors per system.
Installation of chutes and machinery had to be performed while only shutting down half the system at a time.
New coal chutes were designed with replaceable wear-plate inner liners. All liners were designed to fit through hatch door and weigh less than 50 pounds.
System was designed using Autodesk Inventor
