Screw Conveyor Components
Text Version
Screw Conveyor Components
The Conveyor Screw imparts a smooth positive motion to the material as it rotates within the trough.
Couplings and Shaftconnect and transmit motion to the subsequent screw conveyors. Held in place by self-locking Tem-U-Lac bolts.
Hangers provide support, maintain alignment and serve as bearing surfaces.
Troughs and Conveyors completely enclose the material being conveyed and the rotating parts. Covers are available in various types and are secured to the trough by spring, screw, tite-seal, or quick-acting barron clamps, depending on the trough being used. Also available as in a tubular configuration with no cover required.
Inlet and Discharge Openings may be located wherever needed, discharge spouts may be without slides or fitted with either flat or curved slides. These slides may be operated by hand, rack and pinion gears, or by power.

Lead: Battery Manufacturing eTool
Lead: Battery Manufacturing » Oxide and Grid Processing
Lead oxide is made from refined lead. The oxide is then made into a paste by mixing it with water, acid, and other chemicals. In a process parallel to the production of paste, grids are cast from lead alloy. The paste and grids are later combined in the pasting process. See Plate Processing for more information.
