A Review Paper on Stress Analysis of sugar Mill Headstock

Mechanical

Sugar is produced in sugar factory. Juice is extracted from the sugar cane with help of sugar mills. A lot of Pressure generates during the juice extraction process and to sustain this pressure mill should be strong, and should be verified. Headstock is a highly stressed part of mill. It carries rollers and trash plate assembly. They have to sustain forces experienced by rollers while exerting juice from the cane. It is observed that forces due to power transmission and dead weight have not been considered earlier, in order to calculate exerted forces on headstock during mill running closer to actual force Hydraulic force, force due to power transmission, & dead weight are considered. These forces are distributed on sugar mill headstock. So, in order to sustain the Headstocks against all these forces the static analysis is carried out by using ANSYS workbench software, and Weight optimized by changing the inner parameters of the headstock part for permissible stress value with the help of results of previous model. Comparison of both old and modified model of headstock has been done at the end to understand the changes occurred in Modified Headstock.
