Mobile Processing Frame with Turntable for Spool Transport
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current stationary dereeler systems require multiple trips for spool changes, increasing processing time and costs due to the need for forklifts or machinery to transport and control individual spools, which reduces efficiency and increases risk.
Innovation Solution
A mobile processing system with a frame, turntable, motor, and locking mechanism allows for the transportation of multiple spools on a single frame, enabling efficient movement between processing areas without removing the spools, using a single transport device and interchangeable control elements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If stationary dereelers are used with individual spools, then material can be fed to processing machines, but multiple trips are required for spool changes increasing processing time and costs
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple spools are combined on a single mobile processing frame, allowing all spools to be transported together in one trip rather than individually. This merging of multiple spool positions onto one mobile platform eliminates the need for multiple forklift trips and reduces processing downtime while maintaining continuous material feed capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The processing frame is made mobile rather than stationary, enabling it to be moved to different processing areas as needed. This dynamic capability allows the frame with multiple spools to be repositioned efficiently, reducing the time lost in spool changes and improving overall productivity.
2Ease of operation
If forklifts or machinery are used to transport individual spools, then spool changes can be made, but processing costs increase and risks are increased
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple spools are combined on a single mobile processing frame, allowing all spools to be transported together in one trip rather than individually. This merging of multiple spool positions onto one mobile platform eliminates the need for multiple forklift trips and reduces processing downtime while maintaining continuous material feed capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The mobile processing frame serves multiple functions: it holds multiple spools, provides a unified control system, and can be moved to different processing areas. This multi-functionality replaces the need for multiple specialized stationary dereelers and reduces the number of machinery pieces required.
3Loss of time
If multiple forklifts are used to transport spools, then down time can be decreased, but processing costs and risks further increase
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple spools are combined on a single mobile processing frame, allowing all spools to be transported together in one trip rather than individually. This merging of multiple spool positions onto one mobile platform eliminates the need for multiple forklift trips and reduces processing downtime while maintaining continuous material feed capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The processing frame is made mobile rather than stationary, enabling it to be moved to different processing areas as needed. This dynamic capability allows the frame with multiple spools to be repositioned efficiently, reducing the time lost in spool changes and improving overall productivity.
4Ease of operation
If stationary dereelers with separate control mechanisms are used, then individual spools can be controlled, but system costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile processing frame serves multiple functions: it holds multiple spools, provides a unified control system, and can be moved to different processing areas. This multi-functionality replaces the need for multiple specialized stationary dereelers and reduces the number of machinery pieces required.
