    Balancing Belt Tension

    We have a moving shiploader boom with cover reels on both ends. As the boom shuttles through a cradle one reel pays out and the other reel pays in. We are trying to come up with a method to balance/control the two reel forces to not overpower the motor that actually pushes the boom.

    Balancing Belt Tension

    One more clarification, attached is a picture of one of the 15 hp cover reel drives.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=b1bc9ac4-2e71-48c1-8907-945f5aa26a4d&file=EGT_8-12-10_(10).JPG

    Balancing Belt Tension

    To clarify, the question is how to program the two reel drives to stay in tension and remain balanced (another complication - the diameter of the reels is always changing)

    Frozen coal in railcars

    To: EdStainless I would really like to talk to the company you referred to that currently uses hot water on their ore rail cars - can you give me a name? Thanks, Agrico

    Frozen coal in railcars

    We are interested in talking to anyone who uses hot water to warm railcar steel so that frozen coal will dump out when the car goes through a rotary dumper (or has an opinion if it will work).
