Streamlining the design, layout
and analysis process is our goal.
This increases time for free and
innovative thinking, resulting in a
quality engineered product, and
valuable well-designed solutions
for our client.
STADD® is our primary
structural analysis
software.
Solidworks® 2013 is the
primary engineering
software employed by
FMC. The 3D structural
and mechanical elements
generated for layout and
interference checking can
now be leveraged for
analysis.
FMC also utilizes other
CAD packages, such as
AutoCad, to ensure flexible
capability in meeting our
individual client needs.
As certified users of Overland Conveyor’s Belt Analyst
software, our engineering staff produces efficient and
reliable conveyor system designs. This system allows
input of vertical and/or horizontal profiles with up to 360
flights, making it a valuable aid in horizontal-curve and
vertical-curve analysis.
Applied DEM’s Discrete Element Modeling software is
also incorporated to evaluate chute design. This unique
software allows us to simulate belt transfer chute
performance through virtual prototyping of particle-flow
systems.
Engineering design and construction of raw coal
conveyance and storage from the mine slope mouth
through to power plant feed conveyor.
Completed at an
