Separator for singling out rod shaped electrodes - has circulating chain with bucket carriers and rotating separating discs

摘要

The separator for singling out rod shaped objects, esp. electrodes, consists of a circulating conveying chain fitted with bucket carriers for the objects. The rod support part of the carriers is inclined downwards towards the inside of the separator. The objects project with a part of their circumference rod separating discs which are rotated at a circumferential speed corresponding to the conveying speed. The conveying chain is guided from a receiving plane for the objects up to the end of the separator and runs on an outwards curved circular track. The track begins at the receiving plane and stretches at least to an adjusting plane of the separating discs.
