 V Machines selection

    Main equipments selection principle:

1. Raw material preparation machines selection

Daily raw material process requirement is 110T, working time is 2 shifts, each shift is 8 hours, supposed average effective working time is 80%, machine normal working time is 16*0.8=12.8h, so raw material process capacity is required 110/12.8=8.59T/h.

According to designed production technology, raw material need crush and grind by Raymond grinder firstly, the machine capacity is 8.59T/h, and material granule should pass 80 meshes. We suggest use 5R(5 grinding head, inner diameter of head is 1200mm) Raymond grinder.  Box feeder, storage bin, double shaft mixer, pug mill, de-airing extruder is selected according to raw material process capacity requirement, the details show as below chart 2.

2. Forming machine selection

When produce clay roofing tile, daily output 25000pcs, qualify rate based on 95, design allowance based on 10%, required forming capacity is: 25,000/(0.95*0.9)=29,000pcs/day

Core equipment of clay roofing tile machine use WYJ-100 fully automatic press, the capacity is 15pcs/min, daily working time is three shift 24 hours, supposed effective working time is 85%, thus a press daily capacity is 15*60*24*85%=18360pcs/set, it need 2 sets when capacity meet 29,000pcs, at the same time, it also need two sets of small box feeder, de-airing extruder, cutting machine.

When produce split tile, TCJ 350 de-airing extruder daily capacity is 1200m2, for meeting daily capacity 3000m2, the green split tile capacity should meet 3000/0.9=3300m2, thus it need 3 set de-airing extruders.

According to calculation and related experience, the machines selection as below chart 2.

3. Drying and firing kiln selection
