Monitoring of Operation and Determination of Optimal Technological Parameters of Pallet Circulation Lines

During the reconstruction, modernization and technical re-equipment, a number of large-panel housing construction enterprises (hereinafter referred to as KPD) switched to the production of KPD products of new series of residential buildings on pallet circulation lines. The pallet circulation line is a conveyor technological line with a closed working cycle, which is divided into separate posts, the number of which is determined by the production program for the production of products. To ensure the production program for the production of products and safe working conditions that meet modern requirements for mechanization and automation of production processes, the pallet circulation line is equipped with basic, auxiliary technological equipment and tooling. After the launch of the pallet circulation line during their operation, in some cases, there are separate problems associated with reaching the design capacity and ensuring continuous-line organization of the production of products. Foreign suppliers of equipment when designing and supplying pallet circulation lines to ensure a given design production capacity do not take into account numerous factors in the conditions of operating efficiency of KPD plants. Among the significant factors should be highlighted: various requirements of domestic and foreign standards of technological design, features of the organizational structure of the production of existing efficiency plants, the orientation of new lines to strictly specified parameters of concrete mix components, a wide range of manufactured KPD products for modern series of residential buildings, etc. In addition, the introduction of modern high-tech lines at precast concrete enterprises, without the development of current technological design standards and norms regulating the labor intensity of the production of reinforced concrete products on such lines, leads to incorrect determination of the actual production capacity and to inconsistency of the working rhythms of elemental processes in the organization of the lines.
