Design and manufacture of sugar cane transporter axles
As part of the project to set up a production line for sugar cane transportation machines, it was initially decided to buy the axle unit of the machine as a ready-made package from the manufacturers, but due to the short time available to us and also due to the very high price of the manufacturers, I decided to manufacture the axle unit myself like other units within the project.
The axle set was of particular importance due to the high precision of the parts and tolerances. After the initial dimensioning, the main axle shaft underwent heat treatment to achieve the required strength. Each wheel on this sugar cane transporter has its own axle.
The main objective of this project is to set up a production line for sugar cane transporters for agricultural and industrial companies operating in the sugar industry. In a first step, a sugar cane transporter was designed and then built. In the design phase, various dynamic and static analyzes were carried out for this device.
Below you can see various photos of the manufacturing and installation phases of the axle units.
