Q=P/T
Q is requirement in Tons Per Hour
P is Production per shift
T is the average shift production time

The maximum speed we lift at is safety related. For men there are regulations.
For materials there are guidelines (shown in pink)

Using a Nordberg approximation of the cycle time the program estimates the size
Of skip that will be needed to achieve the production target using the distance,
Speed and acceleration conditions specified.
(This part of the spreadsheet is independent of whether the hoist was a Keope or
A drum hoist).

We have already been given a first guess skip size. We try about that size
And then check the actual hourly production achievable in the red box (we
Now have figured the exact cycle time too).
As can be seen a 16 ton skip will get me my 720 tons/hour.
20
In general a skip heavy enough to handle the banging of ore loading and
Unloading will weight about 75% of the load weight.
Opti-Hoist estimates this for us but leaves us a yellow blank to choose the
Weight. A higher weight usually means we are just adding weights to our
Skip.
21
Keope hoists usually have multiple ropes in even numbers, 2, 4, 6, and 8 being
Common. Where that 12 came from is unsure.
We need to consider both hoisting ropes and tail ropes. Sometimes tail ropes
Are used and worn-out hoist ropes which can cause tail ropes to be the same
As hoist ropes.
22
The red box estimates that I will need a 1.064 inch rope to reach needed
Safety factors for this depth.
23
I enter my rope size, its weight and its strength. (I have the advantage of
Having an estimate of what size rope to try).
The spreadsheet then compares the achieved factor of safety to what is required

T1 is the weight of the heavy loaded side. T2 is the weight of the lighter empty
Side.
Remember only friction stops the rope from slipping. The ratio of T1 to T2
Must therefor not be more than 1.5
Of course 1.95 is greater than 1.5 so life is sucking right now.
32
Keope wheels are normally lined with a leather like frictional material. Since we
Dont want the ropes to cut the material to pieces we need to limit the load to
About 300 psi or less.
Well at least one thing worked.

A Keope hoist
So I will use
The Keope line.
I know I have

So I start at

A - When the hoist is operating at less than full speed the load is
transported a lesser distance per unit time and thus the energy output per
unit time is less. The line has a linear slope because the acceleration rate is
55
a constant.
A - You must add additional force to accelerate the load. At the end
of the acceleration period the additional force is no longer needed.
56
A - When the hoist decelerates, the momentum of the load provides part of
the energy to keep the load moving up the shaft.

Q - Why does the line slope down at the end of the Hoist
Cycle
Keope Cycles
Q- Why the funny dashed lines that show more power
being used at the start and less being recovered at the end.
A - Frictional losses

Ta is acceleration time

DR = ( B - W ) / M
DR = Deceleration Rate
M = Mass to be stopped
W = Net unbalanced load (T1 - T2) * 2000
B = Brake Rating in lbs linear force
Get B = BR / R
BR is the Brake Rating in Ft*lbs
GR = VM / VD
VM is rpm of motor at rated travel speed
VD is rpm of Drum
