Abstract
The invention relates to a transverse conveyor for electrodes used in the production of metals. This transverse conveyor consists of a transfer device, located below the electrodes to be transferred and which device moves back and forth on a horizontal plane, as well as of lifters used for lifting the electrodes. The transfer device consists of a frame, on which there is a moving transfer bar, which is designed to cover the frame at all stages of its movement.
Claims9
A transverse conveyor for electrodes used in the production of metals, comprising a transfer device, located below the electrodes to be transferred, the transfer device moving back and forth on a horizontal plane, transverse to a longitudinal axis of each electrode;
- and
- lifters for lifting a pre-selected number of the electrodes off of the transfer device at a first position, and for returning the pre-selected number of electrodes to the transfer device at a second position, the second position offset a pre-selected distance along the horizontal plane from the first position.
