MATERIAL HANDLING SYSTEM

摘要

An in-line material handling system for transporting work from one processing station to another, particularly to a station where the work is processed by burning, includes a pair of conveyor means aligned end-to-end. The first conveyor means comprises a loading conveyor for moving the work to the burning station and the second conveyor means comprises a supporting and off-loading conveyor for supporting the work during burning and for discharging it from the burning station. The second or supporting conveyor means may be integrally incorporated in a water table at the burning station to collect dross and swarf from the burning operation.
