NEW Un-Used BRONZE PLATING LINE-Item#348

BAKER TECHNOLOGY & OUR EUROPEAN PARTNER, RILEY SURFACE WORLD PRESENT NEW Un-Used BRONZE PLATING LINE A newly installed semi-automatic line which is in pristine UNUSED condition. Designed for the application of Bronze Plating on Hydraulic Rams for which it offers good corrosion resistance and surface bearing properties. This line is eminently suitable for conversion to other process applications due to the excellent tank size and complete lack of contamination as it has never been charged with process chemistry. It has unexpectedly come to market before production commissioning could be carried out due to the relocation overseas of the principal customer. The equipment is arranged in a straight line with the Load/Unload station at one end for efficiency of operation. The work is carried through the line by a heavy duty transporter complete with motorized raise lower and traverse which is operator controlled via pendant push buttons. Please note the plant assembly operation ceased as soon as the production requirement was cancelled so some items of tank furniture such as heaters, flight bar locations brackets, DC contacts, pumps et. are supplied loose having not yet been fully fitted. This represents a unique and rare opportunity to acquire an unused line in pristine condition offering considerable savings over the buy new price. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION Approx. Plant Dimensions: Length: 19.250 M Width: 4.725 M Height: 6.200 M (Excluding Ancillary Equipment) Principle of Operation Components are manually loaded onto the flight bar by an operator at the load station which is provided with a hydraulic raise lower platform. They are then collected by the transporter and transferred through the process under operator control. Each of the three bronze plating tanks are equipped with external pod tanks where chemical additions are made under analytical control. The pod tanks are designed to facilitate solution heating, filtration, pumped circulation from the online tank and mixing of chemical additions. These pod tanks are located in a polypropylene bund tray 5500mm long x 2750mm wide x 250mm deep with inset GRP grid floor panels around the tanks. Bronze process plating time is variable dependent on the thickness of deposit specified on the particular component being plated, between two to ten hours as the thickness range is from 40 to 220 microns. The alkaline cleaner solution is circulated to an offline oil separator tank where the solution temperature is also maintained by electric heaters. Rinse waters weir over from their respective process tanks and flow by gravity to separate acid and cyanide rinse water transfer stations at the end of the line which are fitted with submersible pumps. Incoming mains water for tank top up and rinsing purposes flows by gravity from a dedicated water break tank on support stand adjacent to the line. There are two separate extraction systems one serving the on line process tanks and one serving the off line pod tanks. A raised operator walkway with two sets of access steps, GRP grid way flooring and galvanised steel handrailing runs the length of one side of the line.

TRANSFER THROUGH PROCESS STATIONS TRANSPORTER EQUIPMENT 1 Off Fully motorised 1500kg SWL heavy duty twin track transporter system, to operate in semi-automatic mode. The transporter is manufactured in mild steel RHS, and other steel sections all painted in hazard warning yellow. The mast is 3600mm vertically and the horizontal carriage 2000mm long. The track centres are 4625mm on which run the two driven and two idler urethane tired wheels. The hoist is by means of twin lifting chains running in sprockets inside the masts at each side with a cross shaft at hight level to the geared motor. Power feed to the transporter via festoon cable catenary system. All transporter movements are initiated by the operator using a manual pendant control unit and will be controlled and monitored to ensure that all safety interlocks remain active. For example, pressing the forward button on the pendant will cause the transporter to move forward until the button is released. At this point the transporter will continue to move forward until it reaches the next station flag, where it will stop when the on station proximity switches are in contact with the flag. However, striking over travel limit switches at any time will stop the travel or hoist motor. TRACK SUPPORT STRUCTURE The heavy duty twin track gantry system is manufactured from 100mm x 150mm mild steel RHS beams supported by 100mm x 100mm mild steel RHS stanchions from the floor. Cross bracing is provided as required. The self-supporting structure is in bolted sections lined and levelled on to the factory floor without the need for special foundations. The down shop runway length is 19255mm, the track centres are 4625mm and the track height from factory floor level is 3550mm. WALKWAY The full length of one side of the main process line is served by a raised operator walkway 17400mm long x 1010mm wide x 1800mm above factory floor level. The walkway has two sets of access stairways, GRP grid flooring and galvanised steel handrailing.
