CDE

CDE – Booth S-5435

CDE will launch the latest in its range of Combo all-in-one wet processing solutions at ConExpo-Con/Agg, March 10-14 in Las Vegas, booth S-5435.
 
CDE’s wet processing technologies, and specifically its Combo range, support materials producers to gain competitive advantage in their markets by not only maximizing the volume of resources, but also their commercial value.
 
To maximize profitability CDE has engineered its wet processing solutions to minimize inefficiencies and optimize plant processes.
 
With almost total independence of water supply, the Combo can recycle up to 90% of process water for immediate recirculation and re-use with the system, meaning it requires on a small top-up water supply compared to traditional systems which typically consume 10-15 times more water requiring significant investment in water reserves, supply and infrastructure.
 
Its modular approach means the Combo can be easily relocated closer to where concrete is required, resulting in significant cost savings in the transport of aggregates while also minimizing emissions associated with transporting the material.
 
Powered by sustainable all-electric drives, the Combo is an energy efficient system. This means materials producers can ensure their plant is running at optimum utilization, processing higher volumes of material for exceptional return on investment.
 
The Combo is modular and occupies a very small footprint. It arrives on site ready to plug and play for rapid on-site commissioning and easy relocation to other sites or remote locations.
 
Kevin Vallelly, director of engineering at CDE, said, “Time spent on site is a costly exercise, whereas the factory setting is a low-cost environment. As such, CDE’s single-chassis engineering and rapid assembly design results in significant installation cost savings as its commissioning requires fewer bodies, installation equipment and infrastructure.
 
“The footprint of the Combo is around 30% smaller than the traditional wet processing setup too,” Kevin explained. “This further reduces initial set-up costs as less site engineering – or minimal foundations – is required, including concrete pads and pipework.”

VDG

VDG – Booth #B-93409

VDG (Van der Graaf) is the largest designer and manufacturer of high-efficiency drum motors to drive belt conveyors in the mining, aggregate and heavy equipment industries. The company will exhibit in the Bronze Hall, booth B-93409 at this year’s ConExpo-Con/Agg show in Las Vegas.

“The aggregate business continues its strong growth,” Matthew Lepp, heavy industry drive specialist, told Rock Products.”A surge in acceptance of drum motor technology over the past few years has caused several producers and OEMs in the industry to consider the use of them in their applications. Producers are focusing more on the cost/benefit relationship in purchasing and are diligently working to purchase equipment of the best long-term value to minimize costs over the life of the equipment. Therefore, the producers are getting a return on investment.”

The innovative VDG drum motor encloses all moving parts inside the drum, eliminating any externally mounted conveyor drive components. This streamlined design increases space utilization, production and safety in the harshest environments- while reducing maintenance, downtime, energy and costs. VDG Extreme Duty drum motors, including the new GrizzlyDrive, are available up to 500 hp and 42-in. diameter, and are manufactured in-house to ensure quality control, fast delivery and after sales service.

Conveyor users and conveyor manufacturers have accepted the drum motor as the most efficient way to drive belt conveyors. With no external motor and gearbox, the drum motor saves space, eliminates the need for scheduled maintenance and enhances operator safety.

However, the challenge has been the ease and ability to adjust belt speed as plant processing requirements change. This is achieved via a frequency inverter (VFD), which often is located in a control room some distance away from the conveyor drive electric motor.

The long cable connecting the VFD to the electric motor can impede motor performance and substantially reduce its life and reliability. Voltage attenuation, due to the long cable length, contributes to inconsistent power being delivered to the motor. Resulting high-voltage electrical spikes amplification in the motor windings can cause complete motor failure.

The general approach to overcome these issues is to substantially increase the dielectric strength value of the magnet wire used in the electric motor windings. Sinusoidal filters also are installed to condition the power going to the motor and filter high-voltage spikes caused by the pulse-simulated sine wave of the VFD.
Recently, Van der Graaf (VDG) began developing an advanced drum motor design with the VFD integrated into the motor junction box. The follow-up design to the built-in VFD is the development of an electric motor with even higher efficiency and additional capabilities.

On a standard electric motor, the rotor has to be magnetically induced by the stator. Using part of the magnetization produced by the stator windings to magnetically induce the rotor results in significant magnetic energy losses and reduces mechanical output. As a result, motor efficiency decreases.

With the VDG Intelligent Drum Motor (IntelliDrive) design, the rotor is magnetically self-induced by the use of permanent magnets installed on the rotor body. Lab test results show electrical savings of up to 72% vs. a conventional motor/gearbox conveyor drive.

The IntelliDrive requires a sensorless vector control to operate, and due to this requirement, must be used with the integrated VFD. The integrated VFD is EtherNet/IP and MODBUS compatible and enables communication with other plant equipment. It also can provide conveyor drive data feedback and control belt speed either remotely or directly at the drum motor. The combination of the rotor with permanent magnets and the integrated VFD, distinguishes the IntelliDrive from a standard drum motor.

The IntelliDrive simplifies the selection of belt speed without loss of torque or belt-pull, substantially increasing the efficiency and the life of the electric motor, further minimizing downtime and decreasing overall operating costs. The innovation is best for portable plants, according to VDG.
