Conveying appts. for handling high temperature molten material - comprises closely spaced containers with curved ends moving on conveyor track on interconnected trolleys and tipping in discharge section

摘要

The molten material is received in a number of containers (1) mounted on interconnected trolleys moving along a conveyor track (4). The containers (1) are formed with a convex curvature at one end and a corresp. concave curvature at the other, so that successive containers nest closely together. Process appts. is also claimed. USE/ADVANTAGE - For handling hot molten material, e.g. calcium carbide, from a source, e.g. rotary furnace. The container configuration allows close spacing and discharging without the use of a crane.
