DRA Completes Mill Installation
DRA Completes Mill Installation
DR Anderson's Millwrights installed a refurbished Stedman Mill in an existing operating plant for a long time client. The existing deck was modified and reinforced for the new loads that were added by the mill and supporting base. Once structural members were in place, a concrete inertia base was placed in two parts to isolate vibration from the mill. The 25,000lb mill was hoisted to the upper level in pieces and assembled in place. Due to the mill’s location in the plant, DRA’s millwrights rigged and set the mill sections into place by hand using chain falls. Once the mill was installed, screw conveyors and dust control systems were installed and tied into the existing plant processing system.
