Senior Design Project

The document summarizes a senior design project to improve the design of a coolant filtration system conveyor. The new design features a cabinet-style assembly with a removable coverplate that allows for easy access to the filter drum. It also uses more cost-effective UHMW seals instead of V-seals and allows independent removal of parts like the disk hub and axle for faster service. The redesign is estimated to save over $790 in costs and reduce labor hours from 15 to just 2.5 hours.

- 3. Hinged Steel Belt - most common belt Carries chips from machine discharge Other types: Drag Flight Magnetic Mag-Drag: magnetic / drag flight hybrid 1.5”, 2.5”, 4”, 6”, 9” pitch belting available Conveyors for Material Handling Product Tour

- 5. Coolant filtration: Clean coolant keeps machine tool parts cool How it works: Coolant flows thru inlet by gravity from machine Heavy media deposits on the bottom & dragged Smaller chips are picked up by rotating filter drum Spray bar sprays off the chips onto Drag Flight belt The Project The Product: Filterveyor
- 6. Two types: Dual Stage Chip Conveyor (primary) Hinged Steel Belt Coolant flows through this belt Coolant Fines (secondary) Drag Flight Single Stage Drag Flight The Project
- 7. The Project Difficult to assemble & service Expensive Parts: V-Seals: $200 ea. Disk Hub: $92.52 ea. Stub Axle: $139.57 Permanent Filter Drum Problems:
- 8. The Solution: Cabinet-style assembly: Coverplate allows for easy access to drum Drum assembled & media filter fitted outside UHMW Seals far more cost effective than V-Seals UHMW Seal is static; drum rotates on this material (reducing wear) Design allows for removal of Disk Hub and Axle Spraybar is installed or serviced independently from drum Faster & easier service Adjustable spray angle The Project
