Description

Manual Post Treatment & Flushing Line

This plant was installed at Chromalloy UK's Derby plant and was professional decommissioning by Riley Surface World engineers when the facility was closed. The plant and ancillaries have been moved to storage and photographed at Riley Surface World's UK facility.

General Description

A manual process line installed circa 2015 which is in excellent condition.

Designed to support the application of platinum plating on turbine blades but offering the possibility of conversion to process other high value components.

The equipment is arranged in a straight line. The work is carried through the line by an overhead electric hoist with manual pendant control and 125kg SWL.

A sophisticated supervisory control and data acquisition(SCADA) system is provided incorporating a Siemens PLC linked to a Simatic touchscreen HMI to provide the man machine interface (MMI).

This represents a good opportunity to acquire a process line in excellent condition offering considerable savings over the buy new price.

Principle of Operation

The purpose of this line is to completely remove all chemical residues after processing in the automatic platinum electroplating line. This ensures the complete cleanliness of the components and reclaim of the very high value platinum plating solution.

Components are manually unloaded from jigs by an operator and conforming anodes are removed. The components and anodes are flushed and washed and trapped platinum liquors reclaimed.

The typical indicative operation sequence is as follows:

• Jigs are moved between stations on flight bars using the overhead hoist and wireless pendant.
• At the end of the line is space for a load/unload trolley station.
• Component jigs incorporate conforming anodes.
• Jigged components are manually transferred to the post plate ultrasonic tank 20.
• Then they are manually transferred to the hot water rinse tank 21.
• Components are removed from the jigs on the process work table 19.
• Components are manually fitted into a moulded rubber boot type jig and manually flushed in the Process Component Flushing Tank 18.
• Flight bar with jigs and anodes manually transferred into the process anode wash tank 17.
• Platinum plating solution residues are collected from tanks 17/20 in the reclaim tank 16.
• Then back to the process work table for jigs to be manually unloaded from the flight bars.
