Gear Torque Ratings

AGMA and ISO
Gear Standards
Gear torque ratings always seem to
be a source of misunderstanding. While
all engineers know what a foot-pound
or Newton-meter of torque is, many
have difficulty in understanding the
torque rating of a gearbox.
For example, commercial gearbox
S has a torque rating of 3,000 footpounds (4.068 Nm) and industrial gearbox D has the same torque
rating. Are these gearboxes equivalent?
The answer is: No.

R . N i l s Yo u n g , P E

Projecting Lifespans

Commercial gearboxes are rated

with a L10 bearing life of 5,000 hours, or seven months. Industrial gearboxes are rated with a L10 life of 100,000 hours or 11 years. Even when the
commercial gearbox service factors are applied for continuous duty, the
life will not approach that of the industrial rated gearbox.
Note that in the case above, both gearboxes have AGMA torque ratings. The difference is
that AGMA (and ISO) have specific standards
for Enclosed Commercial Gearboxes. These
standards spell out a minimum bearing life of
5,000 hours. The gearing may have sufficient

Rheology of Sludges
and the Positively
Torque Limiting
DBS Thickener Drive
The study of
the viscous properties of liquids
(including slurries, sludges and
pastes) is called
rheology. The
relationship
between
the
shear stress and
shear rate for a
particular liquid
is examined for
a range of shear
stress
conditions. The shear
stress is an indiDavid Smith
cation of the
force being applied to a liquid to get it to flow and the
shear rate is a measure of how much the liquid actually flows. The ratio of the shear stress to shear rate is
known as the liquid viscosity. Some definitions associated with the subject are listed below.

Know Your Sludges

The properties of settled sludges that form in the
lower regions of thickeners and clarifiers as a result of
sedimentation affect the performance of the unit. In
particular more viscous sludges generate a greater
torque reaction in the rake and drive than do less viscous slurries. The viscous or rheological properties of
these sludges are determined by many factors including
solids concentration, solids particle size distribution
and mother liquor density.
When processing a slurry in a gravity thickener or
clarifier, the two functions of the rake mechanism are:
To transport settled solids toward the outlet
(usually the center) of the tank; and
To work the sludge and increase the solids
concentration.

NSA Aerators for Bridge

Mounting Applications By James Hu, PE
When DBS NSA aerator made its debut at the WEFTEC 98
trade show in Orlando last October, our visitors were impressed by
the quality and competitive price of the floating-type aerator on
display. Since then, while we continue to perfect our NSA floating
aerators, we have discovered that we are actually shipping more
bridge-mount units.
The attached picture is a NSA1-08 bridge-mount 7.5-horsepower
aerator manufactured for INECO (Industrial Equipment Corp.).
This aerator features a stainless steel rotor, a 20-horsepower
rated Brevini gearbox, a Baldor mill, and chemical duty
premium efficiency motor. The aerator comes with a jack stand for
leveling and rotor submergence adjustment. The installation of
James Hu
this unit only requires bolting the jack stand to the bridge, and
bolting the rotor to the gearbox. The gearbox is completely sealed to avoid condensate
contamination. Oil change can be accessed through the oil port above the bridge level
with a special tool provided with each aerator.
We are confident that our robust bridge-mount NSA aerators will serve our
customers every bit as well as the rest of the DBS product lines. Please give us a call about
your new and retrofit bridge-mount aerator applications.
Rheology of Sludges Continued from page 1

Torque Gauge Provides Added Insight

Shearing Characteristics of Newtonian and non-Newtonian Fluids

In addition to the positive torque limiting feature, all DBS

drives have an accurate torque gauge. This can provide a new
insight into the rheological properties of settled solids. This understanding frequently leads to improved process performance and
removal of bottlenecks in the sedimentation step of many
processes.

Definitions
Newtonian Fluid : With Newtonian fluids, shear rate is
proportional to shear stress. Since viscosity is defined as shear
stress/shear rate a Newtonian fluid is said to exhibit constant viscosity.
Pseudoplastic Fluid : As soon as shear force is applied to a
pseudoplastic fluid, there is an apparent thinning of the liquid
and a reduction in viscosity. In other words there is an increase in
shear rate under steady shear flow.
Thix otropic Fluid : With thixotropic liquids, shear rate will
increase with time for a fixed shear stress. The more the material is
worked the lower its viscosity becomes. Slurries exhibiting this
property are common, for example titanium dioxide, red mud and
several other slurries containing inorganic solids. Thixotropic slurries recover viscosity once the shear stress is removed unless they
suffer from shear breakdown or rheodustruction. Substances can
also exhibit negative thixotropy.
Dilatant Fluid : A dilatant liquid thickens up or becomes more
viscous as it flows. There is a decrease in shear rate under steady
shear flow.
Bingham Plastic : A Bingham plastic exhibits near zero shear
rate until a yield shear stress is reached, at which point shear rate
starts to increase proportionally with shear stress. For example,
tomato ketchup and mayonnaise.

Rate of Shear

With conventional drives, if the rake drive stalls due to a high

torque load then both the objectives described above cease to be
met. However with the positive torque-limiting feature offered by
DBS, a drive never actually stalls. Torque can still be applied to the
rakes even though a maximum pre-set torque has been exceeded.
In this state a DBS drive ceases to be a constant speed drive and
becomes a constant torque device. This means that the settled
sludge is still being exposed to shear stress. If the sludge is
Thixotropic, a Bingham Plastic or Pseudoplastic (as defined below),
the applied shear force will cause a viscosity reduction. With this
reduction in viscosity and perhaps some other measures (e.g.
increased underflow sludge removal rate), it is likely that the rake
will once again start moving and the two main objectives will once
again be met.

Masonite Corporation
Again Selects DBS
Aerator Drives
In 1995, Masonite Corporation, a paper mill located in Laurel,
Mississippi, approached DBS about replacing some of their old
100-horsepower and 75-horsepower Western Gear Corp. low
speed, mechanical, surface aerator drive units. At the time,
Masonite purchased six DBS model MC200 aerator drive units.
They liked the units so much that they came back to DBS in 1998
to purchase four more.
In particular, the features on DBS drive units that most
impressed Masonite included the dry well design, which prevents
gearbox oil from escaping from the gearbox housing, and the
pressure lubrication system that provides oil to all gears and bearings. Other features that distinguish DBS units from competitors
models include a low flow/no flow switch, a spin on type oil
filter, and reversibility. Unlike other manufacturers of other aerator drive units on the market, DBS locates the lubrication pump,
oil lines, and oil filter on the top plate of the drive unit for easy
access and maintenance.
DBS aerator units directly bolt in to the existing structure.
The contractor who replaced the old Western Gear units at
Masonite said, I have replaced many units before, but I have
never had one that installed as easily as these DBS units.

Condensation Control Unit Succeeds In

Dome-Covered Clarifier Application
By James Hu, PE
Condensation problems are
most severe when a clarifier is
covered with a dome, in which the
humidity is almost at saturation
level year round. A slight temperature drop then generates
condensate.
City of Findlay Water Treatment
Plant in Ohio has two 100-foot
dome-covered clarifier tanks and
had been experiencing several
gallons of condensate a week in
the main gear housing until two
new DBS model DF-42-10s were
put into service. The new drive
units from DBS are equipped with
condensation control units (see May, 1999 newsletter for details), a stand-alone option for new
and retrofit drive units. The city maintenance crew monitored condensate generation for three weeks after installation, a normal
procedure recommended by DBS, and found hardly any condensate in the main gear housings.
This is another successful story of our fast-expanding CCU installations. These customers will continue to enjoy low condensate related maintenance, and will benefit from longer bearing and gear life due to better lubrications.

identical. That is, a gear rated per AGMA

standards would not have the same
torque and power rating as the same
gear rated per the ISO standards.
Typically, the ISO standards provide a
higher torque and power rating than
do the AGMA standards.
For typical wastewater and industrial gear drives, spur or helical gearing
is normally used. The AGMA standard
for spur and helical gears is AGMA
Standard 2001-C95, and the ISO standard is 6336. These two standards are
under review by the international committees that oversee these standards, in
an effort to form one integrated international standard for rating gears.
Hopefully, in five years or so, we will
have a unified gear standard. Until then,
DBS can provide gear ratings that meet
AGMA or ISO standards whichever
our customers require.

If you ever need to return a part or component to DBS for repair or replacement,
obtaining and utilizing a returned goods authorization number (RGA) will make the
process go faster and easier.
Just as a purchase order number acts as a tracking number when you purchase parts
or components, the RGA serves as a tracking number for returning parts.
So whenever you need to return a part or component to DBS, simply:
Contact your DBS engineer or customer service
representative and request an RGA number;
Include your RGA number on all shipping papers
packaged with the item youre returning; and
Write the RGA number in a prominent location on
the package as well.
Imagine the confusion that can occur if your item
shows up on our receiving docks without anyone knowing what to do with it. By the time we figure out what
needs to be done with the item, you will have lost valuable time.
So rather than risk inconvenience and possible delays
in getting your repairs or replacements completed, please
reference your RGA number so we can attend to your
needs quickly and accurately.

The DBS EQ-2000 Composter

Why reinvent the wheel or rotating vessel composter?
There are already rotating vessel composters available in the
marketplace. Most of these are so expensive that they restrict their
available market to those with very specific parameters and large
available resources. We would like our system to be affordable to
a broader spectrum of applications.
Our competitors can make good compost. We can make good
compost. Our difference is how we go about it. DBS has a history
of extraordinary innovation and engineering excellence. In keeping with this heritage and playing to our strong suit, the DBS composter advantage is mechanical.

Furthermore, the vessel is rotated, not from one end of the

length, but all along the length via a patented hydraulic drive system. A series of hydraulic shafts, designed such that each provides
identical thrust to the vessel, pushes the vessel around in a series
of ratchet-like movements. This allows the components to be sized
such that a normal plant maintenance crew can take care of the
drive system without bringing in expensive specialists and cranes
to handle the large components of a more typical rotating vessel.
Computerized Process Control
Computer and software control is central to the commercial
operation of the DBS composter. The data describes the health of
the composting process as well as the operation of the component systems.
A commercial machine must operate 24 hours a day, 365 days
a year, much of that time unsupervised. In addition, the personnel
who most likely will be operating the composter will be unskilled
or semi-skilled and will not have the knowledge to balance all the
variables required to keep a large composter stable and operating
properly. We have developed a basic computer control interface that
allows us to:
Monitor all the variables such as Oxygen, CO2, humidity,
temperature, pressure, air flow, etc.
Display this information in a logical and meaningful manner.
Act on the information and control the composters mechanical equipment such as the air blower, dehumidifier, and
humidifier.
Remotely monitor and control the operational parameters
via modem.
Provide data to support regulatory reporting requirements.
Provide rapid analysis and customer technical support via
modem and the computer interface.
We continue to promote our concept and our history of prototype/demonstration successes to get our process into a full production model.
Incidentally, our chicken litter compost tomatoes were absolutely delicious and considerably larger than the adjacent noncompost treated plants. Just ask our engineer/farmer, James Hu.
Dont let the source of the nutrients turn you off. That is the value
of the composting process waste material becomes valuable
material. Taste it for yourself.

The Mechanical Difference

Pressure Vessel Heritage
Contrary to competing systems based upon rotating kiln technology, the DBS EQ-2000 draws upon pressure vessel design.
Support Rollers
Kilns are traditionally supported upon four trunions or support
rollers, frequently more than a hundred feet apart. This requires
the shell of the vessel to be thick enough to support its own considerable weight as well as the weight of the contents.
Additionally, the kiln is usually driven by a single ring gear and
pinion located near one end of the tube. This means that the tube
must be substantial enough to withstand the tortional stress applied
to the length of the vessel when trying to turn the far end of the vessel from a point at the near end.
In contrast, the DBS system is supported along the length of the
tube at intervals of approximately eighteen to twenty feet, depending on the individual vessel design. This means the structure of the
tube need not be as heavy, the support rollers can be substantially smaller and therefore easier to maintain and align, and the energy of the drive system is spent on rotating the contents more than
the weight of the shell itself. This means less energy is consumed
per ton of product.

DBS Sprayers and Foamers Have the Features to

Tackle a Variety of Cleaning Applications
DBS sprayers and foamers continue to prove their effectiveness
in a wide range of cleaning applications, including:
Industrial Bakeries,
Dairies,
Poultry,
Meats and Provisions,
Food Processors,
Brewing and Bottling,
Canneries,
Building Maintenance,
Pulp and Paper Mills,
Packaging Plants,
Trucking, and
Many others.
For example, ChemStation Southeast has DBS foamers and
sprayers in operation at Dolly Madison and Toms Foods in
Columbus, Georgia.

Available in 15 and 45-gallon capacity, DBS foamers include the

following standard features:
Air and fluid controls,
Pressure gauge,
Air pressure regulator,
Drain valve,
ASME safety relief valve @ 125 PSI, EPR seals,
Food grade PVC clear hose, and
Air release valve.
Other options include brass or stainless steel air and fluid
control valves and fittings, variations in hose length or diameter,
vinyl ester tank lining, and Vitoa
or Buna-N seals.
For additional information
about the various DBS sprayer and
foamer models available, please
call DBS at (404) 768-2131.

Sprayers Mixing Action Proves Beneficial

ChemStation Southeast makes a strong, heavy-duty cleaner
with a Gel additive that, with the DBS sprayer, removes the high
build-up, thick oils, fats, and greases that accumulate on cookers
and fryers, says Evan Jenkins, president of ChemStation Southeast.
He explains that the cleaner is manufactured in a dry form and
requires mixing with water. For that reason, he chose a DBS
Sprayer with a built-in agitator for mixing.
The cleaner is mixed with water and agitated for approximately five minutes, until a Gel consistency is formed, Jenkins
says. The cleaner is then sprayed on the surfaces to be cleaned.
Because of the Gels consistency, the cleaner adheres very well to
the surfaces, providing a long contact time and allowing the
chemicals to break down the grime.
To my knowledge, DBS is the only manufacturer that offers
this feature, he adds. This convenience makes the mixing and
pouring of the chemicals easier and more economical.

Facilities Appreciate the Economy

and Control of DBS Foamers
Many suppliers say that DBS foamers are a superb choice for
facilities that lack a foam centralized system or have water problems, which is the case in many older processing plants. They
like the DBS foamers because they are portable, economical, and
provide greater control over chemical usage than any other system available.
DBS foamers produce thick, clinging, chemical foams. The
foams are easy to apply, and provide long chemical retention
time on vertical and horizontal surfaces. The foams remove
unwanted deposits without splashing back chemicals or forcing
dirt or fluids into seals or other equipment parts. The foam
is also easy to see, ensuring that all areas that need cleaning will be covered without wasteful excess chemical
application.
The foamer system uses plant-supplied dry compressed air, which expels the foam solution from the
reservoir, aerates the solution to form foam, and propels the
foam through the hose and nozzle, onto the surface being
cleaned.
