Abstract
A shim designed for insertion between mold segments on hot briquette rolls permits accurate alignment of the segments and at the same time, by virtue of its softening and melting temperatures permits uniform expansion of the segments on heating.
Claims2
A shim for use in hot briquette machines having peripheral mold segments on mold rolls comprising a sheet of alloy having a melting point no higher than the temperature at which the mold segments achieve their greatest expansion under operating conditions, said sheet having a profile similar to the profile of a mold segment of said hot roll briquette machine.
