Multi Mis-Alignment Rope Coupling (MMRC)

Welcome to the future of mill operations! Crompion is proud to present the revolutionary Multi Mis-Alignment Rope Coupling (MMRC), a game-changer in the transmission of torques from gear to mill top. Bid farewell to outdated square couplings and tail bars, and embrace a design that offers unparalleled flexibility, efficiency, and minimal maintenance.

Key Features:

Flexible Design with Polyester Slings: The MMRC employs Polyester Slings to achieve a design that is remarkably flexible, capable of absorbing substantial mis-alignments between the top roller and the output shaft of the driving gear.
Balanced Couples for Minimal Strain: The MMRC creates balanced couples in a plane normal to the coupling axis, eliminating the bending moments and thrust typically generated by mis-alignments between gear and top roller.
Enhanced Extraction Performance: Unlike traditional tail bars, the MMRC allows unrestricted movement of the Mill Top Roller, contributing to improved mill efficiency and performance.
Lower Final Bagasse Moisture: When installed on the last mill, the MMRC is designed to contribute to lower final bagasse moisture, ensuring optimal results.
Mis-Alignment Absorption: The MMRC excels in absorbing mis-alignments between the square end of the gear shaft and the top roller, mitigating lateral thrust and bending moments.
Reduced Torque and Power Consumption: A boon for environmental and economic concerns, the MMRC significantly reduces torque and power consumption.
Breakage Elimination: Say goodbye to the risk of crown pinion and top roller breakage, as the MMRC provides a robust and durable solution.
Negligible Maintenance: In the pursuit of operational efficiency, the MMRC demands minimal maintenance, ensuring a hassle-free experience for mill operators.

Comparison of Mill Tail Bar Coupling and Rope Coupling

N°	DESCRIPTION	TAIL BAR COUPLING	ROPE COUPLING
1	Misalignment Capability:	Marginal	Can take axial displacement, angular misalignment, and end float simultaneously without breaking
2	Ratio of (Bending Moment) / (Drive Torque):	100 %	<5%
3	Amplitude of the Cyclic Bending Stress:	105 Mpa	< 5 MPa
4	Bearing at Gear Side & Mill Side:	Wears out faster due to end thrust	No thrust and no wear
5	Vibration on the Driving Gear Plummer Block:	Vibrations are moderate to heavy	Vibrations are eliminated
6	Gear Teeth Surface:	Shows signs of wearing out fast due to thrust loads	No uneven wear patterns; improves after installations
7	Extraction Performance:	Obstructs the free-floating of the top roller, reducing extraction	Does not impose constraining thrust on the top roller, improving juice extraction
8	Bagasse Moisture:	Higher due to restricted top roller movement	Lower due to the free-floating of the top roller
9	Torque and Power Consumption:	Causes loss of torque and power	Reduces friction losses, saving operating torque and reducing power consumption
10	Misalignment Between Gear Shaft & Mill Shaft:	Causes damage to top roller, crown pinion & drive system	Misalignment fully absorbed by rope coupling, eliminating abnormal wear and tear
11	Mill Stoppages:	Chokes caused by tail bar coupling restraints	No chokes due to the free-floating top roller
12	Space Requirement:	More space is required between the gear shaft and the mill shaft	Can be accommodated in minimum space between Mill and gear shaft
13	Initial Installation Cost:	Less	Higher
14	Payback Period:	–	Less than 2 cane harvest

Applications

The MMRC is ideally suited for applications in sugar mills and other industries where efficient torque transmission and mis-alignment absorption are paramount.
