Abstract:
Method and sorting deck for paper, board, or pulp rolls, which comprises a plane (1) for transporting the rolls and controllable stops (2) for holding the rolls in place on the plane (1) and releasing them to travel over the plane (1). The stops (2) are positioned to form at least one line (3) of stops, in which the stops (2) are placed consecutively in the longitudinal direction (4) of the plane (1), and at least one row (5) of stops, in which the stops (2) are positioned adjacently to each other along the lateral direction (6) of the plane (1). According to the invention, at least some of the stops (2) comprises a collector (41) and a feeder (42), both of which can be moved freely between the hold and release positions, so that the travel of the rolls over the stop (2) can be optionally prevented, freely permitted, or permitted one roll at a time. With the aid of the invention, the same sorting deck can be used to handle rolls of different widths.
Abstract:
Waste-processing and transportation systems and methods are described. An exemplary waste processing and transportation system 10 comprises a receiving area 20 where loose waste 28 is delivered, a baler 22 for processing the loose waste 28 into waste bales 34, and a loading area 26 where the waste bales 34 are loaded onto a transport vehicle (e.g., a barge 36). A loader 32a may operate in the receiving area 20 to load the loose waste 28 into the baler 22. At least one material handler 42a may be configured to move the waste bales 34 onto the transport vehicle 36 for transport to a waste transfer facility 14. The waste bales 34 are configured such that the waste bales are unloaded from the transport vehicle 36 at the waste transfer facility 14 and loaded onto other transport vehicles (e.g., railcars 38) without further processing of the waste bales 34.
Abstract:
In a ring spinning mill, there is a plurality of winding machines arranged in a side by side relationship. Each winding machine has a first conveyer. A second conveyer passes through the vicinity downstream ends of the first conveyers. The mill includes a plurality of transferring apparatus. Each delivering device transfers the yarn packages from each first conveyer to the second conveyer. Each transferring apparatus includes a prop extending vertically, a lift, and a tray. The lift moves between a lowest position and a highest position and is rotated about a vertical axis while moving upwardly. The elongated tray has two opposing ends and two opposing sides. The tray is capable of retaining a plurality of the yarn packages. The tray is coupled to the lift. The tray is oriented to be aligned with the first conveyer so as to receive the yarn packages from the first conveyer when the lift positioned at the lowest position. The tray is rotated to be parallel to the second conveyer so as to transfer the yarn packages to the second conveyer when the lift is positioned at the highest position.
