Engineer Talk about port mechanics

Wagon tipplers is one of the first machinery i saw when i started my career . When you are fond of machines and a true mechanical engineer, you will always be thrilled when ever you see a new machine. And that was the exact position of me when i first saw wagon tippler .           (Note: The tippler is in tippled postion , so dont get confused , Its a Rotary Tippler) Before going in to full part wise details of wagon tippler lets first discuss its operational procedure,about wagons and transportation.  Wagons carry a load varying from 40 to 60 tons per wagon , you have to note that it is the capacity i am talking about because if you put another cargo with lesser density automatically the load will be lesser. There will be approximately 58 to 60 wagons driven by an engine, this in port terminology is referred to as RAKE i.e one rake is an engine carrying 59 wagons . Each rake carries 3000 to 4000 tons load and transport from one part of the ...

The imports and exports can be RAW MATERIALS like iron ore , coal , bauxite , limestone etc . there are many more , these are just examples . OUR MANUFACTURED PRODUCTS be it any thing from wind mill fans , cars to safety fins  (Later we will ...
