Tega's trommel weight has nearly doubled due to the design requirements aligned with the operating parameters. Additionally, the rubber lining weight has increased
by more than 2.5 times owing to the increased surface area, and the lining thickness of 10mm.

FEA analysis results (Stress Comparison)

Competitor’s Trommel structure Tega’s Trommel structure

Maximum stress: 213.29 Mpa Maximum stress: 57.406 Mpa

Yield stress of structural steel ~240 Mpa Yield stress of structural steel ~240 Mpa
Factor of safety : (240/213.29)=1.125 Factor of safety : (240/57.406)= 4.180

we assure that the left side structure going to fail under sudden failure because of the factor of safety just 1.12. which is less than the required
endurance limit of the material of the structure.

FEA analysis results (Deformation Comparison)

Competitor’s Trommel structure Tega’s Trommel structure

Maximum deformation: 1.57mm Maximum deformation: 1.14mm

Despite having approximately double the weight, the maximum deformation in Tega's structure is less than that in the left-side structure. This is because we
have utilized I-beams as the main members of the structure, as per the requirements validated through the given operating parameters, and it is safe to
operate.

 PARTNERSHIPS IN PRACTICE

Conclusion:

 In the case of a cantilever beam subjected to cyclic loading conditions, it is imperative to ensure that the maximum
stress does not exceed the endurance limit of the material. This validation is crucial to safeguard the structure
against fatigue failure, employing the concept of the S-N curve.

 since the trommel functions akin to a cantilever beam mounted over the discharge side of the mill, we validate our
structure based on this concept.

 If the stress surpasses the endurance limit of the material, it would entail risking sudden structural failure (Please
refer to slide no.3 for stress results comparison)

 We have supplied over five thousand trommels globally and received positive feedback regarding the quality,
longevity, and lining of the structures.
