3D-modell av torkcyklon - Examensarbete på Metso Panelboard AB i Sundsvall
This Bachelor of Science thesis was carried out at Metso Panelboard AB, located in
Sundsvall, Sweden. The work lasted for 10 weeks and began at the end of February 2007.
Metso Panelboard is one of the leading suppliers of complete lines, single machines,
engineering knowledge and after-market services to the fibreboard industries.
The task involved building a 3D-model of a dryer cyclone in the CAD-program
Pro/ENGINEER. A dryer cyclone is the part where the tree fibres are dried in the process of
manufacturing fibreboards. Currently, it takes about two weeks to draw a dryer cyclone. By
creating a 3D-model of it, which should have the functionality to be generated to different
sizes, the goal is to decrease the drawing time to about 20 hours and to increase the quality of
the work.
This report includes the fundamental theories behind the manufacturing of fibreboards with
focus on the dryer cyclone. It also describes how the work was carried out with detailed
design descriptions of the cyclone?s different parts so engineers at Metso easily can take over
where this work ended.
