20Te Tensioner

This tensioner comprises of 4 track units each hydraulically driven through an epi-cyclic track gearbox and bent axial piston hydraulic motor. Standard lubricated Berco track chains are employed on to which are bolted V profile hard wearing polyurethane track pads. The lower track unit and one side unit is hydraulically positioned to suit the product diameter using linear encoders to ensure accurate position. The top track and other side track are also hydraulically positioned against the product initially at low load, then simultaneously pressurized to the desired grip load. Hydraulic accumulators ensure the load is continuously applied providing back up in an emergency. To allow the product to be removed from the tensioner in mid line, or where end terminations are too large to pass through the tensioner, the top track opens by hinging to one side. The unique method employed to do this maintains the opening track within the tensioner width thereby minimizing deck space requirements. A dual Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU) powers the tensioner. Two electric motors are each combined with a dual pump, the main loadsensing pump being for the track drives and a piggyback load sensing pump for the grip circuit and ancillary functions. Control of the tensioner is through a PLC and HMI. The HMI is used for calibration purposes and for setting particular parameters. The PLC monitors the complete system from track position settings, to latch cylinder open/close, grip pressure, HPU oil levels and temperatures etc and allows the tensioner to operate only when in the correct status.
