Global Approach ToRubber Machinery Technology

Conversation with Amardeep Singh,

Director (Sales & Projects) on Bharaj

Machineries solutions for global rubber

and tyre industry.

Make in India is an initiative launched by the Government

of India in 2014 to encourage multi-national and national

companies to manufacture their products in India. While

this initiative has garnered significant international

attention and keenly watched, some Indian machinery

companies have been steadily building up their repute with

global approach and right technology.

In this special edition of Know Your Supplier’s cover story,

we feature one such company Bharaj Machineries Pvt. Ltd.,

through an interactive conversation with Amardeep Singh,

Director - Sales & Projects.

Established in 1982 with a vision, to always produce most

advanced and quality machineries for the rubber industry,

Bharaj has transformed into a giant machinery supplier.

They are a preferred choice for many rubber related

industries starting from Tyre, Automotive, Sports, Footwear,

Pharmaceutical, Aerospace and Specialized Silicon Rubber

Industry with exports to USA, UK, France, Canada and many

Asian Countries. Their aspirations to be leaders in their

various business segments is filled with passion and backed

with technology.

In addition, we have two other topics from our portal

titled ‘Insight’ and ‘Tips’ sections. Our last issue with a new

cover theme (standardized in line with our other editions)

Things You Should

Know About Hydraulic

Power Pack

If you have seen or used an Internal Mixer,

Bale Cutter, Press, or any Hydraulic

machinery then you have witnessed a

Hydraulic Power Pack in operation.

Here are 13 things you should know about

Hydraulic Power Pack.

Image Source: RMF


| INSIGHT |

1. By definition, hydraulic power packs are

self-contained power-units used instead

of a built-in power supply, to transmit

power from one location to another and

thus run your rubber machinery. A

hydraulic system employs enclosed fluid

to transfer energy from one source to

another, and subsequently create rotary

motion, linear motion, or force.

2. Hydraulic power packs come in different

shapes and sizes; some are very large and

stationary whereas others are smaller

and compact. The mechanical

characteristics and specifications of a

hydraulic power pack dictate the type of

applications for which it can be effective.

3. You can identify hydraulic power packs

through its main components. Because

irrespective of the size of the unit, all

power packs will have the following;

▪ A hydraulic reservoir (or tank) which holds

the enclosed oil. This is a storage unit

designed with enough volume for the oil in

the pipes to drain into it. They also ensure

this oil is stored and maintained in the best

possible condition. Reservoirs will come in

different sizes. Common auxiliaries for a

reservoir include filler/breathers and drain

ports, level gauge, level switches and

inspection covers.

▪ Regulators that control and maintain the

amount of pressure that the hydraulic

power pack delivers. These are very vital.

▪ Pressure Supply lines and Relief lines. The

supply line supplies fluid under pressure to

the pump and the relief lines relieve

pressure between the pump and the valves.

The relief lines also control the direction of

flow through the system.

▪ Motor to power a pump

▪ A pump to perform two actions. Firstly, it

creates a vacuum at the pump inlet and

with the help of atmospheric pressure,

forces fluid from the reservoir into the inlet

line. This fluid is then fed to the pump. The

pump then delivers this fluid to the pump

outlet and force feeds it into the hydraulic

system.

4. Some of the important factors that

influence a hydraulic power unit's

performance are pressure limits, power

capacity, and reservoir volume. In

addition, its physical characteristics

including size, power supply, and

pumping strength are also significant

considerations. Reputed suppliers take

great care to ensure that a large, durable

hydraulic power unit is built for

functioning under a range of

environmental conditions.

5. Hydraulic power packs have other

components like

▪ Filters: Filtration is a critical part of a

hydraulic power pack, ensuring wear is

minimised and efficiencies are

maintained. Basic suction strainers do

not allow large contaminants to enter the

pump. Pressure filters are normally

configured at the pump outlet and ensure

only filtered oil enters the hydraulic

system. Contamination within the system

is filtered out by the return filter before it

enters the hydraulic reservoir.

▪ Pressure Control valves that limit or

control the hydraulic pressure within the

hydraulic system.

▪ Directional Control hydraulic valves

(manual, electrical, pneumatic or

hydraulic operated) direct the oil flow

around the system to operate actuators,

motors or other functions.

▪ Cooling is another other key

consideration, where efficiencies within a

system or machine will produce heat in the

oil; this must be cooled to ensure long life

and high-efficiency.

▪ Accumulators: These are containers that

can be attached to the hydraulic actuators.

They collect oil from the pump and are

intended to build and maintain fluid

pressure to supplement the pumping system.

▪ Coolers and Heaters: As part of the

temperature regulation process, an air

cooler can be installed near or behind the

filter unit to prevent temperatures from

rising above operational parameters.

Likewise, a heating system, such as an oil-

based heater, can be used to elevate

temperatures when necessary.

▪ Power Unit Controllers: The hydraulic

controller unit is the operator interface

containing power switches, displays, and

monitoring features. It is necessary for

installing and integrating a power unit into

a hydraulic systems, and can usually be

found wired into the power unit. Oil level

and temperature protection switch,

Pressure switches and filter clogging

switches are quite common.

6. Hydraulic power packs come with a

variety of valve connections. This means

that you can power a variety of rubber and

tyre machinery by using the appropriate

valves. Most manufacturers segregate their

models into a 'standard', 'mini', 'micro' or

'bespoke' power pack categories.

7. When picking a hydraulic power pack

there are a variety of pumps and options to

pick from. Hence, it is important to pick the

right power pack to meet your machines

needs. It is also important to consider a

power pack that will help maximise

productivity and minimise cost.

8. In rubber and tyre machinery, you would

need custom design of your hydraulic

power packs depending on the features

you select and how you select. For eg, you

could either opt for a single power pack

for your drop door and hydraulic ram

operations of a mixer; or choose separate

power packs for individual operations

depending on the circumstances at your

plant.

9. Your supplier should review the pressure

and flow data together with you. And

they should also take load profiles and

the thermal budget into account. Doing

this ensures that you get a power pack

that precisely meets your technical

requirements and operates economically.

10. It is ideal if you or your machinery

supplier get everything integrated from a

single source. Because, fewer interfaces

means your hydraulic system gets built

faster. Your costs are lower, too.

11.Experts recommend use of high-

efficiency low-noise internal gear pumps

when designing power packs. Your

supplier may consider accumulator

charging technology or variable speed

drives as may be the case for your

application. Multiple pressure circuits

are another option.

12.Hydraulic power packs require regular

maintenance to ensure they work

properly and safely for extended periods

of use. Maintaining hydraulic power

packs is relatively simple. You should

check the tubing for any noticeable

problems such as dents or cracks. You

should also inspect the reservoir to check

for any corrosion or rust. And do regularly

change the hydraulic fluid as per

recommended maintenance schedule of

your hydraulic power pack

13. Hydraulic power packs must be installed

and mounted in a clean and dry location

void of any standing water or accumulated

run-off.

Summarizing, you should opt for a power

pack that has low power consumption,

requires very little installation space, and

operates with low cooling requirements.

This would mean that your operating costs

are very low for the unit and it's easy to

integrate into your main machinery. All of

these would help you procure power packs

featuring high reliability and availability on

the one hand, and easy and cost-effective

integration into your rubber machinery on

the other.

The Biggest Problem with Heat

Transfer Efficiency in Rubber

Machinery (And How You Can Fix It)

https://rubbermachineryworld.com/2015/11/18/the-biggest-

problem-with-heat-transfer-efficiency-in-rubber-machinery/

Rubber processing has a bizarre energy

pattern, when seen from a layman's

perspective. Because you add heat into

your process and then you cool down!

Heat addition and removal is repeated in

each of your subsequent stages as well.

When you process rubber, energy is

consumed across the value chain – right

from transport of raw rubber, to the

various processing operations (be it rubber

mixing, rubber extrusion, rubber

calendering, moulding etc) to convert into

your suitable product and then

transportation of your product.

This implies that you need to cool down

your rubber processing machinery

regularly, which simultaneously involves

heat exchange from a hot medium to a

cooler medium.

And the most common medium to cool is

water.

But where there's water, you will face

water-related problems caused by its

mineral deposits. These deposits could give

you varying degrees of water-related

problems that affect your operating

efficiencies and/or even leading to more

costly equipment downtime issues.

This could be in your Rubber Machinery like

Mixer, Mixing Mill Rolls, Calender Rolls,

Press, Extruder, Heat Exchangers, Moulds,

and factory equipment like Boilers, Chillers,

Compressors, and TCU's or other Ancillary

Units, etc.

You would notice that the mineral deposits

accumulate quickly regardless of screens or

treatment actions adopted. Even a thin

coating of water scale will act to insulate the

water system's surface and retard the

transfer of heat.

Hence, scaling is the biggest problem

affecting the heat transfer efficiency in

rubber machinery.

Even a thin coating of water

scale will act to insulate the

water system’s surface and

retard the transfer of heat.

Product Range

To increase heat transfer efficiency, lower

maintenance cost, conserve overall energy

consumption and thus enhance the usable

life of your machinery, removing scales in

all your water-cooled or water-heated

rubber and tyre equipment is very

important.

In a simple rubber machinery like the

mixing mill, the presence of scales on rolls

leads to localized hot spots affecting your

mixing quality. In the case of boilers, scales

can be very damaging leading to even

boiler rupture. When water scale, lime and

rust deposits accumulate on the water side

of chambers, rotors and the drop door of

the Mixer, it causes temperature of your

rubber stock to rise and gradually lead to a

loss in production.

Different machinery has different safe and

effective method to remove scales. Recently,

I was shown an instruction sheet, from one

of the descalers (RYDLYME), on the process

to descale a rubber mixer that I found

interesting.

Here's the process reproduced. I hope you

too find it informative.

1. Take mixer out of service.

2. Close water supply valve at header as

shown in the sketch above.

3. Drain all water from all sections of

mixer.

4. Connect Descaling Solution pump

discharge hose to water header. Header

usually supplies all circuits.

5. Connect return hoses to drain lines from

all circuits and place into the Descaling

Solution receiver.

6. Close water supply valves to gate and

jacket circuits.

7. Start pump and pump the descaling

solution into rotors to purge the water

from this circuit to sewer. When the

descaling solution begins to discharge

from this hose, return to the receiver.

8. Open water supply valve to gate and

maintain Descaling Solution circulation

through this circuit.

9. Open water supply valve to jacket and

maintain Descaling Solution circulation

through this circuit.

10. If any circuit is NOT flowing properly,

restrict Descaling Solution flow in other

circuits until flow returns to normal in

this circuit.

11. Circulate a total of 120 Litres of

Descaling Solution through all circuits of

mixer until clean. This will require

approximately four hours pumping time.

12. It is suggested to periodically rotate the

rotors during Descaling Solution cleaning

to assure that the Descaling Solution is in

contact with all of the lobes of the rotor.

13. Upon completion of cleaning, flush all

Descaling Solution from all circuits with

fresh water.

14. Disconnect the Descaling Solution pump

and all hoses. The mixer is now ready to

be returned to service.

15. Periodic descaling will keep the

temperatures of the mixer within

acceptable limits, assuring you a better

product and minimize burnt or

improperly mixed stock.

16. Clean out the Descaling Solution System

and store for future use.

Summarizing, scaling is the biggest problem

with heat transfer efficiency in your rubber

machinery. Descaling or cleaning the scales

helps you fix this issue. Hence incorporating

descaling solutions into your preventive

maintenance program is recommended to

keep your equipment running effectively

and economically.

To increase heat transfer

efficiency, lower maintenance

cost, conserve overall energy

consumption and thus

enhance the usable life of

your machinery, removing

scales in all your water-

cooled or water-heated

rubber and tyre equipment

is very important.
