Wear shoe retainer for a sludge collector flight

摘要

A wear shoe holder is provided for allowing the easy removal and replacement of wear shoes from sludge collector flights in a sludge collecting tank. The wear shoe holder is a retaining plate fastened to a sludge collecting flight. The inside surface of the retaining plate has detents that become axially aligned with the apertures in a wear shoe when the wear shoe is in its proper operating position. The detents hold the wear shoe securely in place during operation and allow for the easy replacement of a worn wear shoe.
