Abstract

In sugar industry, the sugar processing done in different sections, but to increase total crushing per day (TCD) capacity, the milling section takes a vital role in the sugar industry. The sugar industry aims to extract the maximum amount of juice from sugarcane. In the milling section, the processed sugarcane is fed in between the three-roller shaft from the different arrangements, there are different loads applied on each part roller shafts. When load between all rollers varies then there is a chance of bending it is analyzed to check the roller shaft condition. The modeling is done on roller shaft with the help of CATIA V5. After modeling, we analyze the condition of the rollers, when different stress or forces are applied to different sections of the roller shaft it analyzed with the help of Finite element method using ANSYS WORKBENCH software. We were selecting titanium alloy materials for the roller shaft to analyze the variation in results. When comparing the calculated and software-based results using Maximum Shear stress and Total deformation for top, feed, and discharge rollers said the roller shafts are safe to use in the sugar industry and titanium alloy is the best material for these roller shafts.

Highlights

  • In India, sugarcane is that the basic material for sugar industry this sugar is produced from sugarcane juice and waste bagasse is employed for power generation for boiler and remaining raw bagasse is generally used for manufacturing of paper or cardboard generation of electricity ethanol and pellets

  • Result Evaluation: Analytical calculation and ANSYS WORKBENCH results for maximum shear stress and total deformation value is compared by using different material for roller shafts to find out which material is best for roller shafts

  • Theoretical analysis for Discharge roller: Geometry similar like top roller and discharge roller is made up of forged steel and near about 35% of torque is taken by discharge roller shaft. τdischarge= 260KNm Force acting on horizontal component= Fph= 700KN Force acting on vertical component=Fpv=199.17KN The total vertical load acting on the roller=1505.5 KN The total horizontal load acting on the roller= 1465.09 KN 4.3.1

Summary

INTRODUCTION

In India, sugarcane is that the basic material for sugar industry this sugar is produced from sugarcane juice and waste bagasse is employed for power generation for boiler and remaining raw bagasse is generally used for manufacturing of paper or cardboard generation of electricity ethanol and pellets. The top roller, feed roller and discharge roller shaft had shared about 50%, 15% and 35% torque. These all rollers have a high coefficient of friction and these rollers rotated with the assistance of a turbine. Using these three roller shafts we extract sucrose up to 96-97 %.
