Such ma- terials moy be received in trucks, trailers, ships, boats, barges, and various types of cars such os mine cars, hopper bottoms, gondoles, and boxcars. Requirements may vary from one of two cars per wask to sixty or more Cars per hour. Operction of unloading equipment may vary from seasonal or intermittent use ct some mines, grain elevators, and smoll plants, to the severe “day in, day out” service at steel mills end large, steom generating stations. Docks, piers, terminals ‘and other bulk tronsfer stotions requie a high dagree of dopendebility and usuolly high capacities for maximum economy, Selection of the most effective ond economical unloading equipment dopend: upon the type of cartier to be unloaded, the characteristics and con dition of the material, the unloading rete, annual fonnage, the means of moving cars or barges to ‘and from unloader, ond, in the case of large ships, the cost of demurrage, Unloading of free flowing matericls seldom re- quires considerations other than those of copacity fond appropriate type of equipment. Sluggich or sticky moterials often require a car shoker fer quick, clean discharge of hopper cars, oF @ retery dumper for higher capecities. Frozen coal or ore may require thawing t0 free it from car sides, after which the discharge of moderate capccitior of frozen lumps may usvally be accelerated by a car shaker. Higher ‘capacities of frozen material con best be unlocded with @ rotary cor dumper. The average unloading rate, in cars per hour in- cludor both the unlocding cycle ond the time required fo move cats to and from the unloading operation The most affective use of unloading equipment often requires hauloge machines or car spotters to reduce the delays of such movements, Also, feeding ond conveying equipment is more economical when the hopper, into which the car is unloaded, is large ‘enough to contain sufficient material to continuously Feed the system while cars are shifted to and from the unloading operation. Various types of bucket elevator unloaders ore evailable for unloading ships of grain, borges of cool and other free lowing materials ot copacities Up to 2000 or more tons per hour Various standard typet of unloading eavipm core described on the following pages. Link-Belt hos built many other types and sizer for unutual con- ditions ond Linke-Belt engineers ore avsilable for ‘osssting in the selection of such equipment 38+ LINK-BELT Haulage machines (poge 41) ore of two types; capstan end drum.

They ore of two forms, one for rellroad cars and one for mi ‘he roiroad car dumpers are so designed that when rotation is started, the transfer table supporting the rails moves laterally until the side of the cor rests gains! a timbered side frame of the crodle. Simultaneously with this movement, overhead clamps descend to the top of the car to hold it securely. The cradle rotates until cvtomatically stopped at the inverted position. Operation is then reversed. Rotary car dumpers have been built for dumping more than 60 cors pper hour. ‘Mine car dumpers may be furnished to dump single cars, coupled or un coupled, oF several cars in @ train. Cars are automotically held in ploce. Dumpers may be designed to rotate through an angle sufficient for dumping cond then return, or through a complete revolution. The frame includes @ shield to direct and eaze the fall of material. Completely controlled by one mon, these dumpers are fest, smooth running, durable ond foolproof. Side-titing type dumpers are also oveilable for dumping refute. This dumper is temi-automatic in operation and lifts the car vertically, then tilts it 10 one side to unlood the contents. Power unloading scoops (page 60) are used for unloading grain ond other gronulor materials from boxcors and trucks into hoppers, ond for other similar operations. They enable one man to perform tasks which would require the efforts of severe! men by manuel methods. The operator draws the seaop back over the materi « suitable distance, and then allows sleek in the rope. This stars the winding mechanism, which pulls the scoop forward to push the materiel to the discharge point while the operator holds the scoop upright by its handles.

Power for ‘operating the unit is supplied by an clectric motor driving through @ multi- ple V-belt drive, Extreme vibration and impact shock is prevented from recch- ing the motor by means of © pivoted, rubber-mounted motor platform. EreaRance To unload, the cars ore moved into plece over conventional track hoppe | in the usuel manner by car hauls, cor spotters, switch engines or other means. After the car gates have been opened, the car shaker is lowered into place on the center portion of the cor fond the motor started. Operation of the mechine causes the vibrator end ‘of the frame to rise and fall and impart heavy blows to the car equal in number to the revolutions of the vibro- tor shaft. The motor end pivats on the car top and acis, 103 a guide to hold the shaker in place. The action of the car sheker alse causes longthwis mation of the car, resulting in a conveying action on the hopper bottom. Upon completion of unloading, the shaker is raised out of the way, the car doors closed, and ‘another car moved into potition. Cors need not be un- ‘coupled while the sheker is in operation, permitting movement of cars through the unloading zone as a com- plete train. The thaker eliminates the destructive or dan- ‘Gerous use of picks, cugers, sledges or air hammers. With the vibrotor shaft revolving at a comparatively moderate tote of speed, a much lower operating sound level is ob. teined than with other mochines operating at higher fre. quencies.

This is accomplished by overturning the cor, securely held in © rotating cradle, and completely dumping its contents in one operation. The full cycle of turning the car practically upside down and returning it to 12 normel position requires 90 seconds for the standard dumper, however drives con be furnished for cycles os lew ot 40 seconds, when required. Switching time, dependent on local facilities for handling the cers onto and away from the dumper, must be added to the turning cycle, to determine the total number of care that can be handled Dumping operation After the car has been placed on the dumper track, the turning cycle is storted by the operator, located in @ cab adjacent to the dumper, where he has © clear view of all operations As rotation begins, the tronster table moves sidewise within the cradle, until the cor side rests against the timbered side frame of the cradle. Simultaneously the overheod self-adjusting clamps descend upon the too of the car, ond hold securely to the track roils during the turning cycle. Rotation continues until the cor is overturned and stopped automatically by a limit switch. To return the ematy car, the operator reverses the cycle, As the car nears its normal upright position, the clamps are automatically released and lifted. ‘The transfer toble then moves sidewise until the rcils are again in line with those outside the dumper, and the empty car Is ready to be removed.
