DESIGN OF A SUPPORT
STRUCTURE FOR A DRYING SYSTEM

WHERE DID WE START FROM?

Poweren® was commissioned with designing a support system for a timber treatment plant in Turkey. This complex had to conform to the structural requirements of the project and included access plans for machinery maintenance. Additionally, the client requested the presence of chimneys and ducts for air recirculation, two of which had a special function.

Poweren® was commissioned with designing a support system for a timber treatment plant in Turkey.

Additionally, the client requested the presence of chimneys and ducts for air recirculation, two of which had a special function.

WHAT HAS BEEN THE SOLUTION?

Given the challenges associated with the complexity of the plant, we initially defined the necessary plans for maintenance and special interventions such as component replacement. Afterwards, careful consideration was given to access points to ensure operator safety. The structure was designed to support fans, ducts, chimneys, and essential conveyors for the dryer’s operation. Additionally, to support high-pressure hydraulic pipes, we added double-module reinforced walkways to increase the structure’s stability. We paid close attention to the analysis of interferences and critical points among various elements in the layout, including the structure itself, chimneys, ducts, foundations, piping, belts conveyors, and screws conveyors.

WHAT HAS BEEN THE OUTCOME?

Structural analysis revealed significant stresses on the framework, leading us to decide to brace many spans to prevent excessive vibrations. We also insulated the two safety chimneys and included an internal bypass to interrupt airflow when necessary, for example, during inspections. eventually, we used advanced tools like Grasshopper® and Rhinoceros® to design the details, demonstrating an innovative approach to parametric design.
