TITLE PIVOT ARRANGEMENT FOR A ROTARY DRUM ASSEMBLY A first cylindrical drum member is rotatably supported on a platform assembly and has a longitudinal axis that is coplanarly aligned with the longitudinal axis of a second cylindrical drum member that is supported independently of the first drum member and positioned in tandem relation thereto. The first drum member has an inlet end portion through which a pair of feed screw conveyors extend to supply agglomerative materials, such as preheated coal and char, to the inner portion of the first drum member. An outlet portion of the first drum member extends into the inlet portion of the second drum member. A platform assembly is provided that includes a pair of vertically extending leg portions through which a pair of shafts transversely extend to permit pivoting the first drum member. The longitudinal axes of the respective drum members intersect at the transverse axis formed by the shafts so that the platform assembly is arranged to pivot about the intersection of the respective longitudinal axes. The platform assembly includes a frame member that is mounted on a plurality of jack devices that are operable to raise and lower the frame about the outlet of the first drum member and thereby adjust the slope of the first drum member relative to the second drum member. |
