I doubt the forum is that useful. You will have to approach a manufacturer for a quote; or gain experience with the same or similar.

As a 25 year old manager, out on a limb, you might appreciate the maxim "Learn to walk before you run!" It would be professionally correct to adsvise your superiors that you cannot be expected to undertake work which is outside your sphere of competence. They should understand that. If they do not agree then they are better left to their own recognisanses. Your statement that you have no idea how to do it is most admirable. It saves you making blunders with highly dangerous machinery. The statement is not truly accurate though...you know that much more advice is required. I just don't think that waggon tippler makers are so free with their information. Would you give the family silver away?

A recent forum thread, started by Mr Bannerjee, about the history of tipplers might be useful. There was an entry from Heyl & Patterson as well as links to videos from Designer et al. ■

Greetings

We noted your question regarding designing a Car Tippler. Unless your application is very unique, why try to re-invent an existing piece of equipment. Perhaps you might consider a Surplus Rotary Car Dumper. We can offer (2) packages.

Please feel free to contact us for additional information.

Sincerely,

Let me introduce miself,

I´m Carlos an 25 years old engineer, i´m the manager of a minning project and the last work that i must complete is the desing of a rotary wagon tipple.

I have no idea to do it, so i need your help. I would like to know the steps and way for calculation (inertia, times, power needed, etc...).

A basic Excel program could be great.

Web or bibliographic references are aceptable too.

Thanks everybody, this forum is very usefull for new engineers like me.

Hi Carlos,

25 years old and out on your own? Been there, done that. It was not pretty and I wish sometimes I knew then what I know now: When this much money is at stake you had better go to good reputable OEM's whom you should ask for expert proposals. The calculations you are hoping to perform are a walk in the park and usually come after you have determined all your assumptions about the system you want to come up with. Once you have been through a couple of these excersizes you can attempt to go out on your own. Good luck one way or the other. ■
