The flat steel bars of the crushers were short and they protruded from the axle where they were fastened. In addition, the axle that held these flat steel bars had its ends to protrude out of the crusher, but there was a bearing where the axle and the hull of the crusher connected before the ends of the axle could exit from the crusher.
Clearly, the crusher didn't just have a single grinding mechanism but instead, it had three of them. This was to ensure that it worked efficiently to ensure that the limestone rocks were grinded into a required texture.
On the left side of the crusher, it could be seen that each protruding end of the three axles were fixed with spur gears and these gears were aligned perfectly in that their teeth fit into each other so that when one of the axle moved, it would basically move the other two.
On the right side of the crusher, it could be seen that it was only one axle that protruded out, the other two protrutions were there but they were not too conspicuous as it was not a needed for them to protrude out wholly. The part of the axle that came out was connected to the hub of a duplex sprocket.
One should know that a duplex sprocket was much stronger as compared to the typical industrial sprocket used for bicycles and that was why Virtya chose to use it..
There were actually two crushers at this site and both of them were already completed as Virtya could see.
The inner workings of each crusher was the same.
The sprockets of the two crushers were connected together by a roller chain so that when one of the crusher was activated, it would basically activate the other one.
On the side part of the crusher where the protruding axles didn't appear, there was an opening where the grinded limestone was let out. Of course, each crusher had two opening, the front opening which let in the limestone rocks and the back opening which let out the grinded limestone rocks.
The front opening was situated at the upper part of the crusher while the back opening was situated at the lower part of the crusher.
Of course, the opening of two crushers were connected to each other by a conveyor belt.
This conveyor belt was what would enable the letting in and letting out of the limestone rocks.
One should know that a single crusher was not enough and that was why Virtya desired to use two crushers.
Coming to the conveyor belt itself, one could see that it was wholly made of steel and the moving surface of the conveyor belt would be moved forward by roller chains that were connected to four duplex sprockets.
The rotary motion would be drawn from the unoccupied teeth of the duplex sprocket of the nearby crusher and this motion would be transmitted by the roller chain onto the unoccupied teeth of one of the conveyor belt's sprocket.
It was only needed to roll one duplex sprocket of the conveyor belt and because the other three sprockets were connected together by a roller chain, definitely, all the sprockets would be moved which would then move the roller chain thy moved the movable surface of the conveyor belt.
One could see that the the duplex sprockets were arranged in a pair and then each pair was connected by an axle.
There were two conveyor belts. The first one would move the limestone blocks into the first crusher while the second conveyor belt would move the grinded limestone from the first crusher to the second crusher.
"You have done a good job." Virtya congratulated the supervisor who was given the role of completing this phase of the cement plant.
The guy had made it perfect and Virtya took note of the guy.
Clearly, the workers who were stationed at this place has already been taken elsewhere because this phase was already completed and it was only awaiting for king Virtya's appraisal.
"Thank you your majesty. I only followed your guidelines. I don't deserve the praise." The young man answered earnestly but it couldn't be denied that he liked the praise. After all,this was his first work after he came from the school thus, he was a little bit nervous while awaiting for Virtya to finish inspecting his work. The guy could not help but heave a sigh and put on a weak smile.
I am sorry guys. I have detected so many errors of the chapters about installing the turbine. I used bevel gears instead of the spur gear. Those are not the only ones. there is a place where I used the carriages to pull the wagons instead of using the horses.
It is just that I have to write and go to work so, balancing the two puts me under pressure, but I will rewrite the chapters and correct the flaws when I find down free time.
Thanks for the support. If you find errors/flaws in the descriptions, feel free to let me know.
