NUSAL FURNACE EQUIPMENT - The NUSAL furnace is an automated submerged electrode, refractory lined salt heat-treating furnace. The bath size is 44 inches wide by 52 inches deep and 20 feet long. The system was designed to heat treat nine (9) 1676 pound uranium ingots every 90 minutes at 1350 degrees F +/- 10 degrees F in 50% NaCl-50% KCL molten salt. The furnace was required for a 1676 pound ingot to 1350 degrees F within 30 minutes after insertion of the 1676 pound ingot, and is to reach the set point within 10 minutes after insertion of the ingot. Maximum design temperature is 1800 degrees F. All loading, unloading and control of furnace operations are done through an Allen Bradley PLC5/15 programmable logic controller. Loading and unloading of the ingots as well as movement through the furnace, are performed via a ``Smart'' overhead crane controlled through the PLC. The furnace is designed to be enclosed in a ventilated room, with the exhaust going through a 20,400 cfm scrubber to remove salt residues from the exhaust gases. CRUSHER SYSTEM - The crusher system is capable of handling 1-2 tons per hour of materials depending on the type material being fed. The system is capable of dumping a drum's contents into the crusher or handling the entire drum including its contents. All materials will be shredded into 1/2'' to 1'' diameter particles; metals can be separated from nonferrous materials by using the magnetic separator. Materials the system was designed to handle include: filter cakes, sheet metal, steel drums, graphite, and wood. The system is automated with operation from control panels located adjacent to the system. The system is enclosed and designed for ventilation to minimize the release of particulate to the work environment. Dust collection filtration equipment itself is not included. The erected system extends to a height of about 32 Ft. and includes, but is not limited to, the following items: An enclosed drum dumping station including power roller conveyors ventilated delidding station, and 55 gallon drum dumper; Feed hopper to primary shredder; Primary shredder; Feed hopper between primary and secondary shredders with inspection access doors; A secondary shredder; Chute between secondary and tertiary shredder with inspection access doors; Feed chute to magnetic separator; Magnetic separator; Product surge hopper with discharge gate; Enclosed drum filling stations for drumming out product and metal, including power roller conveyors and weighting scale; Instrumentation an controls for the system; Dust collection exhaust pickup from the system to battery limit flange connections; Motor control centers for the system; Structures and support for equipment including foundations and modifications to 2nd floor with access platforms and stairs; Fire detection and nitrogen for suppression system exists for the shredders; Tertiary shredder; Drum out stations with power roller conveyors.
