ABSTRACT
Raya brewery Shear Company is a brewery company, which is found in maichew, tigrai,
Ethiopia, Africa. This company produces both draft and beer. It uses a series of machines de
palletizer, UN packer, bottle washer, empty bottle inspection, filler, pasturizer, labler, packer and
palletizer in order to produce (packeg) beer. The company also uses similar machine for
packaging draft, but draft filled keg (40kg weight) palletizes manually by operators. These
results a problem such as:
Increase energy loss of operators
Decrease production capacity of the company
Wastage of labor
Hazards for operators
The main aim of this project is to detail design all parts of the machine (jib crane / keg palletizer) and to
draw detail of all parts at end to assemble them by software called catia v-5. When this machine is
manufactured it is expected that to solve the above problems.
Detail analysis is carried out by using maximum shear and normal stress theory, application software’s
ANSYS and catia in addition to those Euler’s and secant formulas are included with in this project.
The dimension of the components produced from the analysis are based up on the safety factor indicates
that strength. By selecting the light weight (small cross section) the dimensions are also economical.
As a conclusion jib crane having low weight, high safety factor and easily operated is more appropriate
for lifting and positioning of keg than that of manual.

CHAPTER TWO
Malt
Water
Yeast
Hop and other additives.
Malt is the main raw material for beer production .The raw material for malt is barley. Its uses
depends on the fact that barley has high starch content and the husk still adheres to the gain, even
after threshing and processing to malt. Consequently it is able to form the wort filtration layer
required in a later production stage.
Malt is delivered to the brewery, weighed, conveyed, cleaned, stored and made available for wort
production.
1. The first section consists of the unloading of the bulk product, its conveyance
and cleaning with subsequent storage in silos.
2. In the second section, the malt is conveyed from the storage silos, cleaned,
milled and after dry milling stored in grist hopper. Different impurities like
dust, stones, metals, husks, are removed.
In Raya brewery the different conveying equipment used for this purpose are: -
Bucket elevators
chain conveyers and
Screw conveyor
All these should be aspirated to remove dust, stones, husks and other impurities which are
usually collected at some point around the malt handling area. Initially, malt is often roughly
screened (sieved) to remove coarse and fine impurities by the drum sieve, and is passed over the
de-stoner to remove stones from the grain. Magnetic separator to remove fragments of metal is
also another treatment before milling. The removal of metal items and de- stoning are necessary
to reduce wear on conveying equipment and to reduce the risks of sparks which can lead to fires
or explosions.

Bucket elevator
This also called a grain leg, is a type of conveyor used for vertical transportation of malt. It
consists of a rubber belt with plastic buckets. Pulleys several feet in diameter are used at the top
and bottom of the elevator. The top pulley is driven by electric motor. Vertical elevators depend
entirely on the action of Centrifugal force to get the material in to the discharge chute.
Screw conveyors
Screw conveyors are the most used conveying elements for inclined and horizontal
transfer of bulk goods such as barley and malt. It consists of continuous helical screw
fastened to a shaft which is rotated in a U shaped trough to push the malt through the
trough.
The malt is prevented from rotating with screw by the weight of the material and by the
friction of the material against the wall of the trough.
The shaft is driven by motor; the shaft rotation speed is less than 200rpm and so a gearing
of the motor is necessary.
Chain conveyor
The troughed chain conveyor is a transporting device for horizontal and inclined transport. An
endless chain link chain with specifically arranged cross pieces runs at a speed of 0.4 to 0.6 m/s
in rectangular flat trough. The trough can be 2/3 to 3/4 filled with malt. The malt conveyed while
being directly in contact with the chain.

b. Dry De Stoner
De-Stoners machine is applied for the efficient separation of stones, metal, glass, & other high
density impurities from the malt which are still present because they are the same size as the
malt. The excellent removal of high density impurities protects the downstream processing
equipment and thus reduces its wear and tear.

c. De dusting unit
It is the process of suck air & dust particle from drum sieve, de stoner & hopper. Air evacuated
to the atmosphere and the solid particle is removed to the dust hopper.
d. Milling (Classic mill)
The classic milling is used to the malt to convert in to grist. It consists of a rotor made of plates
with pins to carry the hammers. Hammers are flat metal bars with a hole at one end. Malt milling
is required in order to be easily broken down the malt enzymes during mashing process.
8
Design of jib crane (keg palletizer)

After mixing of the malt with water in mash kettle it transfers to mash tun by the help of
progressive cavity pump. In mash tun three types of additives are added in order to convert
complex starch (mainly α amilase and β amilase) to simple sugar, maltose, and maltriose
dextrose that are more readily fermented.
c) Mash filter
Mash filter is a very much like plate and frame filter. It consists of a series of grid type plates
alternating with hollow frame plates that are suspended on side rails. It is used to separate wort
from the spent grain.
d) Wort pan
Wort pan is conical cylindrical tank used to mix the wort with hop to change color of the wort
and to increase its alcoholic content by the rotating agitator at a temperature about 96 0C.
e) Whirl pool
Whirl pool is used to separate trub from the hopped wort and then the hopped wort is transferred
in to fermentation tank but trub is stored in trub tank.

2.2 Fermentation
Fermentation can be preceded by respiration is performed by wort sedimentation in kettles,
flotation, centrifugation or filtration. Aeration is used to ensure that the yeast is supplied with an
adequate amount of oxygen in order to support cell multiplication. Later on, the metabolism of
the yeast changes from respiration to alcoholic fermentation; then processes the carbohydrate
molecules contained in the wort to produce ethanol and carbon dioxide. Other ingredients of the
wort are also converted. The resulting fermentation products significantly influence the character
of the beer produced. The duration and course of the fermentation are determined by the yeast
strain and by controlling the process of parameters are pressure and temperature.
Fermentation takes place in cylindro-conical tanks (CCTs). CCTs are installed outdoors. The
CO2 produced during the fermentation process can be collected by a CO2 recovery system.
2.3 utility sections
Converting cold-water (27 0C) which is coming from water treatment class into steam which is
purpose full in bottling section and other sections, cooling water by using glycol and ammonia
in turn cooling glycol to−40 C by using ammonia and recovering co2 which come from cct as
west product of fermentation these all included inside utility section. Operator’s team leaders of
utility section help us to know the process and components of utility section.

Deodorizing (ACF)
o Absorbs the smell containing compounds
Liquefying (Condenser)
o Turn gas into liquid (most economic point at 17,5 Bar @ -24 °C) and removing
non-condensable gasses
o Drying (Driers)
o To remove the moisture from the gas before it is liquefied (else the pipes in the
condenser get blocked
Why Liquefaction of the CO2
The total volume of CO2 storage decreases
o In case CO2 is stored in gas phase the storage volume would be 500 x bigger!
The purity of the CO2 will improve
o Only CO2 is turned into liquid at 17,5 Bar @ -24°C
o Air and other non condensable gases are still present
o These gases can easily be blown off from the CO2 condenser
o With stripping technology the separation is even better

2.4.1 Introduction
In raya brewery Shear Company there are three production rooms (sections), brew house room,
utility room and packaging or bottling room and during our internship period (four month) we
work on all of them one by one. We get an experience from those three sections but we get more
experience from bottling section.
Beer must be packaged before it is sold. packaging line is a series of machines designed to fill
containers with beer and present those containers(packages) to the ware house To ensure the best
possible quality of the product, packaging must be carried out with skill and care. Only if
packaging is effectively performed will the product be acceptable. Beer can be put into a number
of packages like bottle and keg. The most important worldwide is the bottle. Bottles are two
types returnable and non-returnable. In Raya brewery S.C beer is packed in returnable bottles.
Beer is also filled in to cans, kegs or casks and in Raya brewery S.C beer is also filled in kegs
Worldwide most beer is drunk from bottles, either returnable or non-returnable. The bottling line
of Raya beer consists of a series of machine and processes these are:
De palletizer
De crater (un packer)
Bottle and crateWasher
Empty bottle inspection
Filler
Crowner
Tunnel pasteurization
Full bottle inspection
Labeler
Crater (packer)
Palletizer
2.4.2.1 De palletize
Is a robotic system which is used to separate pallet and empty bottle crate, It has some
components such as base, belt conveyor, controller sensor, actuator and effecters (gripper).

2.4.2.2 Unpacker
It is a machine which is used to separate empty bottle from crate by using pneumatic system and
effectors (grippers). It has two motion mechanisms. one is oscillating mechanism and the other is
up and down motion. They up and down motion takes place by the belt driver associated with in
host motor but the oscillating mechanism is oriented by gear box to hinged pillar push rod, crank,
cross transport drive and function tube to perform their functions. The main functions of stopper
to stop the crate in three stages are in feed divider and discharge stoppers to crate. Grippers are
functioned by pneumatic system and they are used to separate the empty bottle from the
unwashed crate.

The above parameters are checked with sensors which sense the radioactive ray & crones’
camera system. If one of the above parameter is not satisfied the beer bottle will be pushed by
mechanical pusher (rejection unit), i.e. it will not go to the next stage (caser machine).The FBI
operation system is radioactive system which is used to identify the over & under fill beer.
2.4.2.6 Pasteurizer
Pasteurization is simply means to destroy or to reduce the number of harm full microorganisms
in a product in order to increase its biological stability. The objective is the effective kill of
harmful organisms with the minimum use of energy that can grow and cause beer spoilage in the
bottle. The tunnel pasteurizer in Raya Brewery has pasteurization capacity of 36,000btls/h and
one bottle at least 20min to be pasteurized. In the pasteurizer there are 10 Induction motors.

2.4.2.10 Chain and roller conveyor (for container, crate & pallet)
Conveyors are low speed mechanical equipment’s used to move items with minimal effort. They
can be manual, gravity or powered. The process from de palletizer (starting) to palletizer
(ending) needs different machines. Pallets, crates & containers (bottles) transport from one
machine into another machine through roller & chain conveyors. Let’s see the mechanical
components, power transmission, lubrication system and specific application area of those two
conveyers one by one.

CHAPTER THREE
OVER ALL BENEFIT GAINED FROM THE INTERNSHIP
3.1 Introduction
The four months we have spent at Raya beer sc. We are gained an understanding how to interpret
and apply our theoretical knowledge in practical problems. We have also noted that it is
impossible to directly apply our theoretical knowledge into an industrial problem. Most of the
analytical calculations that we have learned in campus are very much reduced and simplified into
empirical forms in order to close the gap between real world and the ideal conditions that are
stated theoretically a Practical working in Raya beer sc. shops allowed us to observe the
processes and components that we know through learning by our very fascinating teachers and
also gave us confidence on ours field of study. In addition to this Communicating and interacting
with various departments of the shops during the project, work improved our team playing skills
along with enhancing our problem solving capability. We have also learned powerful software
called plc. Which make designing of machine components to a lot easier. Beside to this In terms
of upgrading our theoretical skills, Raya beer Share Company helped us understand more about
mechanisms we learned in EIT-M, and in what ways those mechanisms can be applied in
machinery to make day to day tasks easier. I understood more about heat transfer, fluid and
power system and mechatronics by observing the machineries operation. Therefore, we had the
chance to read manuals and learn more about working mechanism.
3.2 Improve practical skills
The most frequent work with in raya beer sc is repair and maintenance this means there is always
disassembling and assembling of components and parts which was a good opportunity to work
on and improve practical skills. In addition, there were some foreign parsons who were coming
from Kenya, germen (from Krons Company). Therefore, we were sharing some knowledge;
I understood assembling and disassembling of machines such as:
heat exchanger
labler
tankers
conveyor
3.3 Improve Industrial problem solving ability
We also improved our problem solving skills since it is one of the focuses of the
internship program. We identified a problem on the lifting and position of a keg.
3.4 Improving our Understanding about work ethics issues
Work ethics is one of the characteristics a professional must have, because once ethical issues
reflect on the quality of their work. If someone has good work ethics such as punctuality; respect
for co-workers; proper tool handling proper cleanup after a job, they will create a good working
25
Design of jib crane (keg palletizer)
2018
environment by waking other workers feel free to communicate with one another and overcome
work challenges by working as a team; work will be completed on deadline or even before, since
time won’t be wasted due to punctuality. It also should be noted that work ethics has a very high
power to influence any work environments productive many times I observed that spare parts
that are not that much complex and hard to manufacture, sell at very high price, and I often
wonder if it was possible to manufacture those parts here in our country .

CHAPTER FOUR
4.2 Introduction
Jib crane have three degrees of freedom. They are vertical, radial, and rotary. However they
cannot reach into corners. They are usually used where activity is localized. Lifting capacity of
such cranes may vary from 0.5 ton to 200 ton and outreach from a few meters to 50 meters. Such
cranes find various applications in port area, construction site and other outdoor works. For
handling general cargo, lifting capacities usually 1.5 ton to 5 ton with maximum out reach of 30
meter.
Jib crane provided with grabbing facilities have usually a capacity ranging from 3 ton operating
50 to 100 cycles per hour. Lifting heights may be 30 meter or more. Jib cranes used in ship yards
for lifting heavy machinery equipment, weighing 100 to 300 tons, are usually mounted on
pontoons. Frequently, these cranes are provided with two main hoisting winches which can be
employed singly or together to lift a load. For handling light loads may hand Auxiliary
arrangement localized, such as in machine shops. Column mounted jib cranes are commonly
used in packaging industry. These cranes are used for hoisting up to 1 ton loads. Our project is
included with this range.
Jib cranes are either attached to a building column or cantilever vertically from an independent
floor mounted column. Essentially a jib crane is a boom with a moveable trolley hoist. The
trolley hoist moves along the length of the boom and the boom swivels allowing the lifted load to
be maneuvered about in a relatively small semicircular area. The hoists and trolleys of jib cranes
are usually slow moving and either manually or radio operated. The arc swing is usually
manually accomplished but can be mechanized when required.
4.2.1 Literature review
As it is tried to define in introduction a jib crane is a type of crane having cantilevered beam with
hoist and trolley and it is either attached to a building column or cantilever vertically from an
27
Design of jib crane (keg palletizer)
2018
independent floor mounted column. First actual jib crane was used by The David Round
Company in 1869.
Working of jib crane
The underlying layout of a jib cranes consists of a solid boom shackled to a fixed pivot point. In
turn, this pivot is securely mounted onto a wall or on top of a freestanding column. This pivot
moves freely, allowing180 or 360‐degree rotation, and a wide arc of operation. The lifting is
performed by an incorporated pulley or motorized chain hoist, which can slide along the book
and offer a large footprint of operation. Freestanding and mast type jib cranes offer 360‐degree
rotation. Wall mounted types offer 200‐degree rotation.
Within a time period different types of jib crane are coming to this world.
Types of jib crane
1 Free standing jib crane
Floor mounted jib cranes is directly fixed on the floor without any support to keep it upright. To
maintain its stability and not topple over it you fix it to a foundation of 3 to 5 feet deep and up to
4 to 10 feet square foundation base as shown in figure. The foundation depends on the load and
reach. Advantage of this type of crane is it doesn’t need a support wall or structure and provides
optimal range of span and control compare to wall mounted cranes and other types of jib cranes.
28
Design of jib crane (keg palletizer)
2018
This crane is similar to wall mounted jib cranes but with a bracket. It’s a most economical means
of providing hoist coverage for individual use in bays, along walls or columns of plants. The
installation requirements and load and rotation are like the wall mounted crane as shown in
figure 6. Use a lot for swinging around obstacles and over obstructions.

Low initial cost
Low operating and maintenance costs
Small size and low weight
Low noise and vibration; smooth operation
Use of readily available materials and purchased components
Prudent use of both uniquely designed parts and commercially available components
Appearance that is attractive and appropriate to the application
Table below shows an example of the rating that could be done to select the type of design to be
produced for the Lifting and positioning Equipment. Of course, with more information about the
actual application, a different design approach could be selected. Also, it may be desirable to
proceed with more than one design to determine more of the details, thus allowing a more
rational decision.

Total result 100% 66 89 69
(100%) 100 100 100
On the basis of this decision analysis, let's precede with (b) the design of Jib crane, it is
considered to have a higher level of available materials, low maintenance cost and low initial
cost .and its operation is more easy for operators, because it has an electric switch buttons to
lift/lower the load and to move the load horizontally along the span length. But the other designs
of screw jack and hydraulic jack have high maintenance cost and initial cost. And also low
availability of material. Due to those all reasons finally we select jib crane for our design project
called lifting and positioning keg.
Design Decision for the jib crane
For the present design, we choose the free standing jib crane. Its simplicity is desirable, and the
final cost is likely to be lower than that of the other proposed designs. And it can rotate 360̊ as
desired, and its materials are easily available in the Raya Brewery Share Company in its store
room.
4.2.2 Problem statement
Until know raya brewery Share Company palletize 40 kg filled keg manually by operators. This
company uses above 5 operators per shift. Actually the maximum operating capacity of these
operators is 100 number of keg per hour (0.6 minute per keg). But the production capacity of the
company is 120 number of keg per hour (0.5 minute per keg). Thus there is loss of time.
Indirectly there is also lost of operator’s energy. As a result the labor cost of the company will be
high and the production speed of the company will be decrease.
When we calculate the loose
There is 20 number of keg per hour, implies that 160 number of keg per one operating
shift which gives that 480 number of keg loose per day.
There is 0.1 minute loose when they lift one keg due to they spent 0.6 min to lift one keg
which implies that 96 minute loose per one operating shift this gives 288 minute (4.8
hour) loose per day.

Flange thickness: top and bottom horizontal plate – like sections of I – beam are
called flange. The thickness of the flange is called flange thickness.
Flange width: the width of the flange is called flange width.
Beam depth: the height between the top and bottom surface of the steel I – bam is
called beam depth.
Web thickness: the vertical section of steel I – beam is called web, and the thickness
of the web is called web thickness.
Fillet radius: the curved portion, where the transition between the web and flange
happens is called a fillet. The radius of the fillet is called fillet radius.
Material selected for I beam
We select a material called ASTM A -36 steel for I beam design. ASTM-36 steel is the most
common type of steel used in making of beams. Its properties allow the steel to be used in many
applications. ASTM A36 is the most commonly used mild and hot-rolled steel. It has excellent
welding properties and is suitable for grinding, punching, and tapping, drilling and machining
processes. Yield strength of ASTM A36 is less than that of cold roll C1018, thus enabling ASTM
A36 to bend more readily than C1018. The properties of A 36 steel allow it to deform steadily as
33
Design of jib crane (keg palletizer)
2018
stress is increased beyond its yield strength. This ductility allows standing long after the limits of
a structure have been met in an emergency.
ASTM A36 steel is easy to weld using any type of welding methods and the welds and joints so
formed are of excellent quality. Any standard carburizing and hardening methods of AISI 1018
steel is suitable for ASTM A36.
The mechanical and physical properties of the selected I beam material is given in appendix B.
Steps for selecting a correctly sized I beam
Correctly sized I beam selection is the first step toward correct structural design
1) Load calculation
2) Shear and bending moment diagram
3) Choose an approximate size of I beam from standard I beam table.
4) Find area moment of inertia and beam depth from selected I beam
5) Calculate area of the shear area
6) Calculate bending and shear stress developed
7) Check factor of safety
Design calculation of I beam
1) Load calculation
Lifted load ( F L) = lifted mass * gravitational acceleration
m
=65 kg*9.81 2 =637.65 N
s
Lifted load due to the hoist load factor = Fh = 0.5 * ( F L) = 318.825 N
Impact onlifted load = Fim = 0.25 * ( F L) = 159.412 N
Therefore total lifted load = Ftl = ( F L) + Fh + Fim
= 1115.887 N
m
Trolley load (weight of liftket) =20 kg*9.81 2 =196. 2 N
s
Trolley load due to dead load factor = Fd =1.2 * Ft = 235.44 N
Inertia from drives = Fi = 2.5% * Fv
Where Fv = vertical load = Fd + Flt = 1351.327 N
Fi =2.5 % * 1351.327 = 33.78 N
Therefore Total load (P) = Fv + Fi =33.78 + 1351.327 = 1385.11 N

∑ F y =0 →R=P=1385.11 N
∑ m=0 →M=Pl=1385.11 N*1.5m=2077.665 N.m
From this we get maximum shear and bending moment
Vmax = 1385.11 N
Y max = Pl 3/3EI
= 1.137 mm
4) Area moment of inertia and beam depth of W 150 X 14 from above table
Area moment of inertia I = 6.84 x 106 mm 4
Depth d = 150 mm
5) Calculate the shear area.
The web thickness is taken from above table t w = 4.32 mm and depth d= 150 mm
A w = t w * d = 4.32 mm * 150 mm = 645 mm 2

check factor of safety.

stable equilibrium. Some members, however, may be subjected to compressive loadings, and if
these members are long and slender the loading may be large enough to cause the member to
deflect laterally or sideway. To be specific, long slender members subjected to an axial
36
Design of jib crane (keg palletizer)

compressive force are called columns, and the lateral deflection that occurs is called buckling.
Quite often the buckling of a column can lead to a sudden and dramatic failure of a structure or
mechanism, and as a result, special attention must be given to the design of columns so that they
can safely support their intended loadings without buckling.
The tendency for a column to buckle is dependent on the shape and the dimensions of its cross
section, along with its length and the manner of attachment to adjacent members or supports.
Cross-sectional properties that are important are as follows

Effective Length
Physically, the effective length is the distance between points on the buckled column where the
moment goes to zero, Le = KL

Column will be design either by Euler’s formula or by J.B.Johnson formula. It is also designed
by using secant formula if the column is eccentrically loaded. First we select a column size from
a circular hallow cross section column table. Found in appendix of machine elements in

By comparing the above two results the column is long so we use Euler’s formula to check
buckling of the column.
By using secant formula the maximum stress in the column can be determined by realizing that it
is caused by both the axial load and the moment.

CHAPTER FIVE
Conclusion
The main aim of this project is to detail design all parts of the machine (jib crane / keg palletizer)
and to draw detail of all parts at end to assemble them by software called catia v-5. When this
machine is manufactured it is expected that to solve the above problems.
Detail analysis is carried out by using maximum shear and normal stress theory, application software’s
ANSYS and catia in addition to those Euler’s and secant formulas are included with in this project.
The dimension of the components produced from the analysis are based up on the safety factor
indicates that strength. By selecting the light weight (small cross section) the dimensions are also
economical.
As a conclusion jib crane having low weight, high safety factor and easily operated is more
appropriate for lifting and positioning of keg than that of manual.
Recommendation
From this design it is recommended that foe everyone who concerns this problem the design
contains an electrical switch to control the motion which needs to high handling safety so the
company must have to give high concern for the installation and operation of the switch. And
during installation of the jib crane the company must have to give attention to the mounting of
electrical hoist trolley. In engineering solutions the main thing is not applying solution but
applying at a perfect time and place so the company must not have to give a time for the
problem.
