Reciprocating

UVU CRT 2009

Rotary Screw Compressors

Direct Injection, Oil-injected, Direct-

cooled, Flooded Various names are
suggestive of the direct contact of
lubricating/cooling oil onto the rotating screw
parts
Requires a separator just after compression to
remove oil from the compressed air

Oil-free, Oil-less, Dry compressors also

available (food industry, hospitals, etc.)
UVU CRT 2009
Compressors - Saving Energy

Reduce run time turn off when not

needed
Lower system pressure to lowest possible
level
Repair leaks
Recover waste heat
Additional system volume (load/unload
only)
Reduce use of pneumatic tools.

Concrete Pump Trucks

UVU CRT 2009

Concrete Pump Trucks
Hydraulic reciprocating pumps.
Components: Two cylinders
(differential cylinders), two materials
cylinders, water box, and a concrete
valve. (Rock valve, S valve, Gate
valve, etc.)

Concrete Pump Trucks...
Concrete pressure during pumping
operations generally from 600 psi to 1233
p.s.i.
Concrete can be pumped up to 213 yards
per hour.
Operator controls the pump functions
through wireless radio remote or hardwire
remote.

CENTRAL MIX PLANT
Central mix plants are normally mobile units that are
located at large quantity work sites; however, more
and more of these types of plants are being placed at
permanent locations. A central mix plant proportions
and mixes the concrete in the plant. Mixing is required
to be no less than 60 seconds for each batch. When
using a transit mixer for additional mixing, the mixing
time in the central mix plant may be reduced to
approximately 30 seconds. The freshly mixed concrete
is deposited into trucks for delivery. The delivery
truck from a central mix plant does not need to
provide any further mixing of the concrete, unless a
transit mixer is used.

READY-MIX PLANT
The second type of plant used is the
ready-mix plant Readymix concrete
plants are the types of plants used most
commonly on INDOT contracts and are
referred to as "commercial plants".
Ready-mix plants batch the ingredients
into a truck-mixer and the revolving
drum on the truck mixes the
ingredients.

Welding Equipment

UVU CRT 2009

Welder

The welder used in

the Spanish Fork
High Collision
Repair Shop is a
135 amp wire feed
Metal Inert Gas
(MIG) welder.

UVU CRT 2009

Shielding Gas
A 75% Argon 25%
Carbon Dioxide
(C25) gas is used
to protect the weld
puddle from
contaminates.
This mix gives a
quality flat weld
that is beneficial
for collision work.

UVU CRT 2009

Gas Regulator

This is the
pressurized gas
regulator.
The optimum flow
setting is 17 cubic
feet/minute.

Inside the Welder

.023 Continuous
Wire Spool.
Leads to reverse
the weld polarity.

Welding Gun Assembly

Contact Tip Liner

Gas Nozzle .023 Wire Gas Diffuser

UVU CRT 2009

Contact Tip

Wire feeds through

the contact tip
which provides the
electrical contact.
The contact tip is a
wear item that
should be replaced
occasionally.

UVU CRT 2009

Gas Nozzle

Used to focus the

shielding gas over
the weld puddle.

UVU CRT 2009

Wire Liner

The wire feeds

through the liner to
the contact tip.
The liner is also a
wear item that
should be replaced
when the wire feed
is irregular.

UVU CRT 2009

Welding Pliers

Combination style
pliers for cutting
welding wire and
tightening contact
tips etc.

UVU CRT 2009

Clecos

Reusable blind
rivet system used
to secure
overlapping panels.

UVU CRT 2009

Air Drill

Drill 1/8 holes for

the Clecos.
Drill 5/16 holes for
spot welds

UVU CRT 2009

Cut Off Tool

Abrasive disc used

to cut sheet metal
panels.

UVU CRT 2009

Tin Snips

Aviation tin snips

allow right and left
hand cuts without
deforming the
metal.

UVU CRT 2009

Roloc Angle Grinder

Roloc discs are

designed to
remove surface
contaminates from
the metal without
thinning the metal.

UVU CRT 2009

Panel Crimper

Used to crimp the

edge of the panel
for an offset lap
weld.

UVU CRT 2009

Vice Grips

Holding and
securing panels for
welding.

UVU CRT 2009

Metal Hole Punch

5/16 Metal Hole

Punch.
Used for making
holes in sheet
metal for plug
welds.

UVU CRT 2009

Welding Tools
These are the basic tools that will be
used to perform the welds required for
completion of the welding and cutting
steel module.
We will discuss there correct use in the
lab portion of the class.
