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
Plate Processing » Parting
Grids are commonly produced and pasted as pairs called pasted plates or panels. They must be separated before the battery can be built. The major source of lead exposure in the parting process comes as a result of the grids being handled incorrectly, such as resting them against the body or handling them in unventilated areas, which causes particles to become airborne when plates are cut or broken.
