Fatigue Analysis: Screw Conveyor

Fatigue Analysis: Screw Conveyor

Teck completed a detailed fatigue analysis of an existing steaming vessel screw conveyor that failure prematurely. Teck was tasked to re-design the screw conveyor to improve its life expectancy. The re-design involved metal fatigue simulations using finite element methods, resizing components, material selection and preparation of detailed engineering drawings suitable to fabricate a new screw conveyor. The client was Alberta-Pacific Forest Industries.
