  1. Agitator Redesign for Corrosive Environment Kate Karauda Luigi Abbate Will Fritzinger Peter Torab

  2. Project Overview • Sponsored by Coating Technology Inc. • Goal is to redesign the agitator system for greater corrosion resistance and longer life

  3. Tank Layout

  4. Current Cam System

  5. Luigi

  6. System Design • Vertical Axis Rotary Motion (VARM) • Carousel with part mounts • Corrosive resistant materials • Utilization of current tanks and framework • Motor and gearbox moved away from vapors • Continuous motion vs. sinusoidal

  7. Design Areas Not Yet Complete • Rotational Motion vs. Ultrasonic • Ultrasonic shows a lot of potential • Capillary Forces • Quick Wear Calculations • Power Selection • Belt Wear Rates • Component Design • Off Shelf Part Considerations

  8. Project Schedule

  9. Project Schedule • Current Action Items: • Pick a design to satisfy customer needs, • Defining test conditions for the prototype design, • Document and investigate previous failure modes, • Invite the customer for Systems Decomposition Review;

  10. Project Risks & Mitigation Plans
