Abstract
A system for removing an existing core from a diesel emission control device (DECD) housing may include a press, a control station, a decore shaft for engaging the existing core, and a push plate. In certain embodiments, the system for removing the existing core may include a collection container for receiving the existing core. In certain embodiments, a push plate having a second aperture is configured to allow the existing core to pass therethrough. A method for removing an existing core from a DECD housing may include placing the DECD housing on a working platform, activating a force to cause the existing core to move relative to the DECD housing, wherein the existing core passes through an aperture of the working platform.
Claims16
A system for removing an existing core from a DECD housing, the system comprising:
- a press having a working platform, the working platform having a first aperture configured to allow the existing core to pass through upon removal of the existing core from the DECD housing;
- a control station for controlling movement of the press;
- a decore shaft configured to contact the existing core;
- and
- a push plate positioned upon the working platform, the push plate having a second aperture configured to allow the existing core to pass therethrough,
- whereby movement of the press creates a force configured to push the existing core out of the DECD housing and through the first aperture and the second aperture.
A system for removing an existing core from a DECD housing, the system comprising:
- a working platform comprising a first aperture and configured to support the DECD housing during removal of the existing core;
- a decore shaft configured to contact an existing core on a side opposite of the working platform;
- and
- a press configured to impart a force to the existing core such that the decore shaft causes the existing core to be removed from the DECD housing when the force is imparted upon the existing core.
A method of removing an existing core from a DECD housing, the method comprising:
- placing the DECD housing on a working platform so that the DECD housing is aligned with a decore shaft;
- and
- activating a force to cause the existing core to move relative to the DECD housing to remove the existing core from the DECD housing,
- wherein as the existing core is removed from the DECD housing, the existing core passes through an aperture of the working platform.
