Design and Analysis of Two Roller Sugar Mill Using FEA Techniques

The present analysis relates to proposed modifications in the milling process in sugarcane factory. This paper describes the advantage of using two roller sugar mill over three roller sugar mill by designing and analyzing it with FEA techniques. The roller mill needs to be designed in order to satisfy the condition of keeping number of stages same while maintaining optimum crushing rate.

In this study theoretical analysis has been done considering simply supported beam with two conditions 1. determinate beam and 2. indeterminate beam condition. By comparing results of above two conditions one factor has been calculated i.e. Bending moment factor which helps in finding actual results. By changing various parameters the performance of roller mill is studied using FEA software and the same is compared with above theoretical results. Based on results the optimum design is proposed. ANSYS software is used to calculate stress-strain state of roller mill.
