146 Slntering Machine:
After the pre-startup operation and heat-up is com-
pleted, the sintering machine normally goes into a ope shift per day operation
for 2-3 weeks.
This period allows the operators to become familiar with the
equipment.
Each daily startup takes about
l~
hours to produce a product.
Before going into maximum production, the machine will go into a 24 hr/day
operation for about 2 weeks.
By the end of the second week, operators and the
machine should be ready for maximum production.
However, the inexperienced
operator will extend this time.
On the average, the sintering machine and
operator should be able to reach maximum production in 3-6 months.
The time
needed to reach maximum production for a sintering machine varies; new sinter
machine designs and new processes require more attention than off-the-shelf
sintering machines.
The first year's production rate normally ranges between
70 to 80 percent because of malfunctions and repair time; however, the produc-
tion rate usually increases in the succeeding year to a maximum production
rate (90 to 100 percent).
The official startup date should be designated as
the day when material is first introduced into the machine.
Manufacturers
indicated that 180 days is a reasonable time period in which to reach maximum
production for conducting performance testing.
