00:02.330 --> 00:04.780
- Problems we intend to
solve with this system.

00:04.780 --> 00:07.430
The current pump pusher is hard
to unload from vehicles and

00:07.430 --> 00:09.110
difficult to maneuver on set,

00:09.110 --> 00:11.603
and the failure rate
is increasing rapidly.

00:12.490 --> 00:14.800
Only can require new old stock parts

00:14.800 --> 00:16.340
due to the company stop in production

00:16.340 --> 00:18.900
on the 5th of April, 1994.

00:18.900 --> 00:21.540
The old system has an issue
with falling over and crushing

00:21.540 --> 00:24.120
equipment on invent due
to the top heavy design,

00:24.120 --> 00:26.080
dumping up to 10 gallons
of hydraulic fluid

00:26.080 --> 00:27.500
on tools and equipment.

00:27.500 --> 00:30.366
It is extremely time consuming
to repair forcing maps,

00:30.366 --> 00:33.840
workload to raise, also
the degrading motor units,

00:33.840 --> 00:36.690
increasing risk of electric
shock and fire due to motor

00:36.690 --> 00:38.140
winding failures.

00:38.140 --> 00:40.480
We have a current pumping
unit that's been in maps since

00:40.480 --> 00:42.180
August of 2018.

00:42.180 --> 00:44.590
They have been unable to order
the needed parts due to the

00:44.590 --> 00:46.690
manufacturer not building
the required parts,

00:46.690 --> 00:49.240
forcing them to wait until
a new old stock part is

00:49.240 --> 00:52.190
manufactured from a reverse
engineering process.

00:52.190 --> 00:53.120
As mentioned earlier,

00:53.120 --> 00:55.700
with the increasing risk of
electric shock and fire due to

00:55.700 --> 00:56.880
motor winding failures,

00:56.880 --> 00:59.430
I'll speak more about the motors
that are on the old units.

00:59.430 --> 01:01.570
They are Baldor Two-Phase Motors,

01:01.570 --> 01:04.580
which were produced in June of 1977.

01:04.580 --> 01:06.200
Being that they're 43 years old,

01:06.200 --> 01:08.410
they are getting fatigued
and do not reliably put out

01:08.410 --> 01:10.010
the required horsepower rating

01:10.010 --> 01:12.750
needed to maintain
pressure opening the door.

01:12.750 --> 01:13.950
Also on the same system,

01:13.950 --> 01:16.420
the fittings used have been
removed and replaced to the

01:16.420 --> 01:18.250
point they no longer seal correctly,

01:18.250 --> 01:19.730
leading to multiple leaks across the

01:19.730 --> 01:21.530
entire pusher set while in storage,

01:21.530 --> 01:25.140
forcing constant cleanup
and refill by technicians.

01:25.140 --> 01:26.610
Our proposed new idea,

01:26.610 --> 01:29.210
this unit will improve both
mission effectiveness as well as

01:29.210 --> 01:30.840
quality of life for our field runners,

01:30.840 --> 01:33.490
by making opening the launcher
closure much easier for MMT

01:33.490 --> 01:34.440
teams in the field.

01:35.700 --> 01:39.520
This unit is 471 pounds
lighter than our current model.

01:39.520 --> 01:42.010
The opening and inspection of
the launcher closure will only

01:42.010 --> 01:44.200
require one user leaving the
other to complete different

01:44.200 --> 01:47.163
tasks as opposed to using
two that we use now.

01:47.163 --> 01:50.250
The cost of the old unit is $17,000,

01:50.250 --> 01:54.080
and our new proposed model is $5,915,

01:54.080 --> 01:55.800
cutting the price by over half.

01:55.800 --> 01:57.400
Requires less than scheduled maintenance

01:57.400 --> 01:59.700
from maps based on commonly broken parts

01:59.700 --> 02:01.220
on our current systems.

02:01.220 --> 02:03.200
There are commercially
available parts for a pair,

02:03.200 --> 02:04.930
with a service center here in Great Falls,

02:04.930 --> 02:06.630
that'll keep parts on hand for us.

02:07.920 --> 02:09.800
To completely replace the old pusher set

02:09.800 --> 02:13.370
will cost roughly $204000
and can only be refurbished,

02:13.370 --> 02:16.090
keeping the same motor pump and reservoir.

02:16.090 --> 02:20.480
With a new unit, it
will cost $47,320 total

02:20.480 --> 02:22.350
and have all brand new components.

02:22.350 --> 02:24.850
The main cost difference is
because teams take two pusher

02:24.850 --> 02:26.760
units to the field per job.

02:26.760 --> 02:28.440
This is because it is a faulty system

02:28.440 --> 02:30.390
requires backup for every dispatch.

02:30.390 --> 02:33.260
The new units will easily
be adapted to our double and

02:33.260 --> 02:35.010
single pusher sets in the field,

02:35.010 --> 02:37.683
t herefore requiring
only one per dispatch.

02:38.616 --> 02:41.449
(machine rolling)
